Empirical Likelihood for Nonsmooth Functionals

arXiv:2603.27743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Empirical likelihood is an attractive inferential framework that respects natural parameter boundaries, but existing approaches typically require smoothness of the functional and miscalibrate substantially when these assumptions are violated. For the optimal-value functional central to…

On the Hardness of Reinforcement Learning with Transition Look-Ahead

arXiv:2510.19372v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study reinforcement learning (RL) with transition look-ahead, where the agent may observe which states would be visited upon playing any sequence of $ell$ actions before deciding its course of action. While such predictive information…

Noise in Photonic Quantum Machine Learning: Models, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies

arXiv:2603.09645v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Photonic Quantum Machine Learning (PQML) is an emerging method to implement scalable, energy-efficient quantum information processing by combining photonic quantum computing technologies with machine learning techniques. The features of photonic technologies offer several benefits: room-temperature…
