Adaptive and oblivious statistical adversaries are equivalent

The paper resolves a key question in statistical learning under adversarial corruption by showing that sample‑adaptive and sample‑oblivious adversaries are equivalent up to polynomial factors in the sample size for all corruption types. It proves that any algorithm that succeeds against a sample‑oblivious adversary can be transformed into one that succeeds against the corresponding sample‑adaptive adversary by requesting a polynomially larger sample and running the original algorithm on a random subsample. The construction preserves computational efficiency and requires only a simple modification of the algorithm.

The Power of Test-Time Training for Approximate Sampling

arXiv:2606. 11437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficiently sampling from a complex probability distribution is a fundamental problem which has become increasingly pertinent in recent years with the rise of generative AI, as sophisticated sampling procedures from LLMs have been proposed to solve challenging reasoning problems.
