RobustLDS: Learning linear dynamical systems under adversarial corruptions

We consider the problem of learning linear dynamical systems under adversarial contamination from a single trajectory of length $T$. While identification of linear dynamical systems itself is well-studied, the problem of robust system identification under adversarial contamination is relatively less explored. In this w...

Learning structured linear dynamical systems from missing observations

We consider the problem of learning structured linear dynamical systems over convex sets $\mathcal{K}$, where only a small subset of the observations are available at each time point. An estimator which minimizes a bias-corrected, potentially non-convex objective function is proposed. Non-asymptotic bounds are obtained...

Conditional Kernel Stein Discrepancy

Kernel Stein discrepancies (KSDs) provide a versatile tool for comparing distributions. One of their main applications is in quantifying the goodness-of-fit (GoF) between a data-generating distribution and a prescribed target distribution. In this work, we study the related problem of conditional GoF quantification: gi...

Softmax Attention on Gaussian Mixtures: Linear When It Can, Selective When It Must

Softmax attention, at the heart of Transformers, has demonstrated remarkable capabilities. Yet its underlying mechanisms remain only partially understood. Recent theoretical work studies Gaussian prompts, where the infinite-prompt limit reduces softmax attention to a linear map, but also removes the query-dependent sel...

Optimal random quantisers for spherically symmetric distributions

Zador's celebrated theorem is a cornerstone of optimal quantisation: it establishes both the weak limit of the empirical distribution of an optimal $n$-point quantiser in $R^d$ and the decay rate of the associated $L_s$-mean quantisation error. In large dimension, however, observing this asymptotic behaviour requires a...

$\sigma$Transfer: Uncertainty Transfer from Small to Large Networks under $\mu\mathrm{P}$

Reliable predictive uncertainty in Laplace approximations depends critically on the prior precision, yet selecting it requires a posterior sweep that is prohibitively expensive for neural networks with billions of parameters. Under the Maximal Update Parametrization ($\mu\mathrm{P}$), we derive a rescaling of the prior...

Minimax Gaussian Mechanisms for Continual Machine Unlearning

Machine unlearning updates a trained model after records are deleted, aiming to match exact retraining without repeating the full training procedure. We develop Gaussian mechanisms for Newton updates under sequential deletion requests. Using Gaussian differential privacy (GDP) and its adaptive composition rule, we show...

Embedding-Bias in Conditional Independence Testing

To test conditional independence of $X$ and $Y$ given a text or an image $Z$, one conditions on an embedding $\psi(Z)$ in place of $Z$. The embedded test is valid if $Z$ is independent of $X$ or of $Y$ given $\psi(Z)$, which cannot be confirmed from data, and when this fails, the rejection probability under the null hy...

LAIR-Net: Leaky Alignment-Impulse Residual Networks for Tabular Regression

Deep randomized models fix hidden-layer parameters through random initialization and learn only closed-form readouts, typically adding depth by stacking random trans formations without target-aware control of hidden-state evolution. We propose LAIR Net, the Leaky Alignment-Impulse Residual Network, which mixes a shallo...

PSI-SINDy: Post-Selection Inference for Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics

Sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) is a data-driven framework for discovering governing dynamics from time-series data by identifying a sparse subset of candidate dynamical terms from a prespecified library. In this work, we develop a statistical inference framework for quantifying the reliability of d...

Feature Space Adaptation for Effortless Gaussian Process Flows

Outside the linear-Gaussian regime, conditional sampling from Gaussian processes (GPs) is challenging. Recent methods such as FlowGP (Moss et al., (2026)) can condition on arbitrary non-linear and non-Gaussian statements, but at considerable cost: an expensive iterative and high-dimensional diffusion that requires hand...

Beyond Distributional Fidelity: Causal-Penalized Diffusion for Synthetic Tabular Data

Synthetic tabular generators are commonly optimized for distributional fidelity, but statistical similarity alone does not guarantee preservation of causal effects. In this paper, we study whether causal fidelity can be improved directly within a fully generative tabular model. Causal Fidelity is defined with respect t...
