arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.

arXiv:2607. 06723v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adaptive optimizers carry hidden states that change how visible gradients become parameter motion.

arXiv:2607. 08380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An important quantity in the theory of gradient descent (GD) is the \emph{sharpness}, defined as the largest eigenvalue of the objective Hessian.

arXiv:2607. 22004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Energy natural gradient descent (ENGD) aligns parameter updates with the curvature of an underlying function-space energy, but existing formulations assume an unconstrained Euclidean parameter domain.

arXiv:2606. 00542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Shampoo-style optimizers approximate gradient covariance matrices using Kronecker-factored structures.

arXiv:2606. 18080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gradient descent in deep learning may operate at the edge of stability (EoS), a regime in which the largest eigenvalue of the loss Hessian hovers near the stability threshold $2/\eta$, where $\eta$ is the learning rate.
