arXiv:2608. 08103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Smooth acyclicity constraints answer whether a weighted support is a DAG, whereas structure learning asks which support change should be made.
arXiv:2608. 10869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worst-case multiclass bounds do not become smaller when the best classifier is already nearly correct: what is missing is an optimistic rate, a guarantee whose fluctuation scales with the oracle risk itself.
arXiv:2607. 20594v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When does a weight-tied looped transformer -- one block applied T times -- implement an actual algorithm?
arXiv:2606. 16341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A filtered approximate-nearest-neighbor (ANN) query returns the k nearest vectors among those satisfying an attribute predicate P of selectivity s.
arXiv:2606. 05169v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We give a stereological theory of LLM benchmark coverage.
Large traveling salesman problem (TSP) instances require a solver to allocate limited computation while preserving the validity of its outputs. Existing neural--operations-research (OR) hybrids predict guidance without requiring learned transitions to satisfy constraints discovered during search.
arXiv:2606. 28308v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many two-player zero-sum games admit not a unique Nash equilibrium but a convex set of them: a polytope of profiles that all share the minimax value V* yet prescribe different behaviour.
arXiv:2608. 06825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning from correct demonstrations is harder than supervised learning when many answers are correct: after predicting, the learner sees one valid answer but not whether its own answer was valid, nor any reward.
arXiv:2607. 07423v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that, in the realizable PAC setting, the sample complexity of exact-trace learning for full autoregressive Chain-of-Thought traces is upper bounded by the standard multiclass rate of the local next-token class, where this rate is governed by the Daniely--Shalev-Shwartz dimension.
arXiv:2607. 24741v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Positive two-marginal entropic optimal transport is solved by a nonlinear, positive, order-preserving, homogeneous Sinkhorn map.
arXiv:2606. 11266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The cost signal that constrained-RL algorithms optimize against is almost always reactive: the simulator emits a non-zero cost only after a collision has begun, and the Lagrange multiplier of PPO-Lagrangian grows only after the episode budget has been exceeded.
arXiv:2606. 23880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: From climate teleconnections to gene regulation, modern time-series datasets encompass tens or hundreds of interacting variables, making causal discovery increasingly challenging.
arXiv:2607. 17543v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In two-player zero-sum games whose Nash equilibria form a convex set, regularized solvers such as Regularized Nash Dynamics (R-NaD) empirically select the maximum-entropy member: the information projection (I-projection) of a uniform reference onto the Nash set.
