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:2606. 08799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the generalization of ridge-regularized nonlinear least-squares models via on-average algorithmic stability, deriving error bounds for local minimizers in terms of a data-dependent effective dimension that reflects the geometry of the gradient model at the trained parameters, through the empirical Jacobian Gram matrix and a residual--curvature term.

We develop a comprehensive theory for regularized M-estimation in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Under mild conditions on the loss we establish existence and measurability of the estimator, covering a wide range of convex and non-convex losses, including bounded robust losses.
