Multivariate Variational Autoencoder

arXiv:2511.07472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present the Multivariate Variational Autoencoder (MVAE), a VAE variant that preserves Gaussian tractability while lifting the diagonal posterior restriction. MVAE factorizes each posterior covariance, where a emph{global} coupling matrix $mathbf{C}$ induces dataset-wide latent correlations…

Towards Personalized Quantum Federated Learning for Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2511.07471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anomaly detection has a significant impact on applications such as video surveillance, medical diagnostics, and industrial monitoring, where anomalies frequently depend on context and anomaly-labeled data are limited. Quantum federated learning (QFL) overcomes these concerns…

Provably Efficient Sample Complexity for Robust CMDP

arXiv:2511.07486v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of learning policies that maximize cumulative reward while satisfying safety constraints, even when the real environment differs from a simulator or nominal model. We focus on robust constrained Markov decision processes…

Source-Optimal Training is Transfer-Suboptimal

arXiv:2511.08401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove a fundamental misalignment in transfer learning: the source regularization that minimizes source risk almost never coincides with the regularization maximizing transfer benefit. Through sharp phase boundaries for L2-SP ridge regression, we characterize the…
