Structured Approximations of Measures

arXiv:2310. 09149v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the approximation of probability measures in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance by structured classes of approximators, motivated by applications in imaging, machine learning, and physical measurement under sensor constraints.

Near Minimax Rate for Quantile Distributional Reinforcement Learning

The paper investigates quantile distributional policy evaluation by approximating the return distribution under a policy with a quantile Bellman fixed point. It constructs an estimator from an empirical Markov decision process and derives non‑asymptotic error bounds in Wasserstein distances, achieving root‑n rates that are independent of the quantile resolution for a wide range of Wasserstein orders. The authors also characterize the exact local asymptotic minimax risk and show that their estimator attains this optimal rate, while examining how the risk depends on resolution in simple state‑space examples.

A Sharp Dynamic Haussler Lemma

arXiv:2610. 29898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Haussler's covering lemma (JCTA 1995) gives the sharp $(C/\delta)^d$ metric-entropy bound for binary VC classes under normalized $\ell_1$ distance.
