arXiv:2606. 26316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study first-order methods for smooth objectives satisfying the Polyak-\L{}ojasiewicz (PL) condition when gradient samples are generated by an exogenous Markov chain.

arXiv:2606. 24981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study linear TD(0) under Markovian sampling, where data are generated along a single trajectory.
arXiv:2606. 03769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the robustness of stochastic mirror descent (SMD) under heavy-tailed noise, focusing on whether the method retains its convergence guarantees when run with infinite-variance stochastic gradient input.
arXiv:2602. 05657v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The study of tail behaviour of SGD-induced processes has been attracting a lot of interest, due to offering strong guarantees with respect to individual runs of an algorithm.
arXiv:2606. 25170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study PAC learning in tabular discounted Markov decision processes with exogenous i.
arXiv:2608. 05460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work introduces a proximal stochastic subgradient method for minimizing the sum of an expected cost, whose integrand is potentially nonsmooth and nonconvex, and a lower semicontinuous, prox-bounded function.
arXiv:2607. 21975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) optimizes $J(B,A)=\mathcal L(W_\mathrm{base}+sBA)$ over two adapters $B \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times r}$ and $A \in \mathbb{R}^{r \times n}$ that form a low-rank update to a frozen pretrained weight matrix $W_\mathrm{base} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$.
