Accurate Estimation of Mutual Information in High Dimensional Data

arXiv:2506.00330v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mutual information (MI) is a fundamental measure of statistical dependence between two variables, yet accurate estimation from finite data remains notoriously difficult. No estimator is universally reliable, and common approaches fail in the high-dimensional, undersampled…

Learning to Dissipate Energy in Oscillatory State-Space Models

arXiv:2505.12171v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: State-space models (SSMs) are a class of networks for sequence learning that benefit from fixed state size and linear complexity with respect to sequence length, contrasting the quadratic scaling of typical attention mechanisms. Inspired from…

Private Learning of Littlestone Classes, Revisited

arXiv:2510.00076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider online and PAC learning of Littlestone classes subject to the constraint of approximate differential privacy. Our main result is a private learner to online-learn a Littlestone class with a mistake bound of $tilde{O}(d^{9.5}cdot…

On Conformal Machine Unlearning

arXiv:2508.03245v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The increasing demand for data privacy has made machine unlearning (MU) essential for removing the influence of specific training samples from machine learning models while preserving performance on retained data. However, most existing MU methods…

On the Benefits of Weight Normalization for Overparameterized Matrix Sensing

arXiv:2510.01175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While normalization techniques are widely used in deep learning, their theoretical understanding remains relatively limited. In this work, we establish the benefits of (generalized) weight normalization (WN) applied to the overparameterized matrix sensing problem. We…

Learning linear dynamical systems under convex constraints

arXiv:2303.15121v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the problem of finite-time identification of linear dynamical systems from $T$ samples of a single trajectory. Recent results have predominantly focused on the setup where either no structural assumption is made on the…
