arXiv:2310. 15976v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: signSGD is attractive in nonconvex optimization because it communicates sign-valued rather than full-precision gradients.

arXiv:2608. 02538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper is concerned with one-bit mean estimation, where each independent sample is represented by a single binary message.

arXiv:2606. 08028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study high-probability regret bounds for online convex optimization (OCO) with strongly convex losses and establish three results that resolve open questions at the intersection of noise adaptivity, feedback structure, and constraint satisfaction.

arXiv:2601. 20970v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The maximum-entropy remote sampling problem (MERSP) is to select a subset of $s$ random variables from a set of $n$ random variables, so as to maximize the information concerning a set of target random variables that are not directly observable.

arXiv:2608. 09004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove a sharp lower bound for smooth nonconvex stochastic optimization with uniformly bounded gradient noise.
