Optimal sample complexity for autoregressive chain-of-thought learning proven.

problem Determining the minimum number of samples needed for accurate autoregressive chain-of-thought learning.
method Proved upper bound on sample complexity using Daniely-Shalev-Shwartz dimension and roll-out stable parity dimension.
result The sample complexity is bounded by the local next-token class rate, with no dependence on rollout length.

problem Learning and approximation of solution operators for dissipative equations.
method Introducing spectral methods and deriving FNO approximation bounds and sample complexity guarantees.
result Polynomial sample complexity guarantees for FNOs learning solution operators of dissipative equations.

Study on estimating Gumbel--Max watermark proportions in edited documents.

problem Estimating the proportion of a document generated from a watermarked LLM.
method Comparison of full observation and pivotal reduction observation regimes; development of estimators and information-theoretic lower bounds.
result Full observation yields a substantially smaller sample complexity compared to pivotal reduction.

Estimates proportions of LLM-generated text in mixed documents.

problem Estimating the proportion of text generated by a pre-specified LLM in mixed documents.
method Developed estimators for two observation regimes: full observation and pivotal reduction, and established sample complexity bounds.
result Full observation estimators require fewer samples than pivotal reduction estimators.

New findings explain why online methods outperform offline methods in noisy expert feedback settings.

problem The challenge of learning from imperfect expert feedback in sequential decision-making systems.
method Introduced a noisy expert model and a novel variant of on-policy distillation (OPD) to address the gap between offline and online imitation learning.
result Online interaction with a noisy expert via OPD enables polynomial dependence on the horizon, unlike offline methods which require exponential growth in sample complexity.

This paper improves MDS visualization by adjusting Wasserstein distances for heavy-tailed data.

problem Enhancing Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) for better pattern recognition with heavy-tailed distributions.
method Introduces Max-D-SW, a metric adjustment of Max-Sliced Wasserstein distance that aggregates over orthonormal bases.
result Max-D-SW provides a clear numerical advantage in MDS outcomes, especially for heavy-tailed distributions.

problem Learning a Gaussian distribution truncated to an unknown halfspace.
method Efficient algorithm using n=ildeO(d2/ε2)n = ilde{O}(d^2/\varepsilon^2) samples and runtime dominated by empirical covariance matrix computation.
result Optimal sample and time complexity bounds for learning a Gaussian under halfspace truncation.
