arXiv:2606. 00703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-precision pretraining (FP8, MXFP4, NVFP4) is now standard for frontier language models, yet the literature is almost entirely achievability -- algorithms and empirical scaling laws -- with no matching characterization of what is information-theoretically possible.

arXiv:2606. 19411v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Selecting a fixed-size subset that maximizes the determinant of a positive semidefinite kernel is the MAP problem for a size-constrained determinantal point process and the classical maximum-entropy sampling problem.

arXiv:2604. 08438v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Shapley value, and its broader family of semi-values, has received much attention in various attribution problems.

arXiv:2602. 20376v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of maximizing a complex-valued quadratic form over the $K^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity.

arXiv:2604. 10727v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Classical information-theoretic learning bounds typically rely on KL mutual information and moment-generating-function (MGF) arguments, which are well matched to bounded or sub-Gaussian losses but can be ineffective when losses or rewards are heavy-tailed.

arXiv:2607. 22889v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning the natural parameters $z \in \mathbb{R}^n$ of discrete distributions $\mu_z$ from independent samples constrained to a subset $S \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is a foundational challenge in high-dimensional statistics.
