arXiv:2506. 11336v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the sample complexity of stochastic convex optimization when problem parameters such as the distance to optimality and the Lipschitz constant are unknown.
arXiv:2303. 08777v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cross-validation is one of the most widely used tools for risk estimation and model selection in statistics and machine learning, yet its theoretical properties when embedded in a learning procedure remain insufficiently understood.
We study machine unlearning: the removal of memorized training data from a trained model. Specifically, we investigate the algorithmic complexity of certified unlearning from an optimization perspective.

arXiv:2307. 05213v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many real-world optimization problems contain parameters that are unknown before deployment time, either due to stochasticity or to lack of information (e.
arXiv:2606. 16257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sampling from high-dimensional, non-log-concave distributions with unnormalized densities is a fundamental challenge in machine learning, particularly when the exact gradient of the potential is unavailable and must be approximated via stochastic gradients that exhibit high variance under a fixed budget of gradient computations per iteration.

arXiv:2602. 02877v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper studies optimization for a family of problems termed $\textbf{compositional entropic risk minimization}$, in which each data's loss is formulated as a Log-Expectation-Exponential (Log-E-Exp) function.
arXiv:2511. 15615v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a tractable algorithm for estimating an unknown Lipschitz function from noisy observations and establishes an upper bound on its convergence rate.
arXiv:2505. 01258v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bilevel optimization has recently attracted significant attention in machine learning due to its wide range of applications and advanced hierarchical optimization capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 30455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The standard convergence analysis of mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) models gradient noise using a single variance term that treats all parameter directions equally, ignoring the fact that noise in high-curvature directions has less impact because learning rates are already constrained there.
arXiv:2606. 01827v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) has established itself as a powerful and widely adopted optimizer for training machine learning models.
arXiv:2209. 01754v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The empirical risk minimization approach to data-driven decision making requires access to training data drawn under the same conditions as those that will be faced when the decision rule is deployed.
