Covariate-dependent Joint Modeling of Multivariate Ordinal Preferences and Its Connections with Comparison Models

Multivariate ordinal data along with covariates are commonly collected in problems ranging from alignment of language models with human preferences, as well as in recommender systems. For example, data sets such as MovieLens contain several movies rated on a scale 1--5 by human users, along with their demographic infor...

Learning Transition Kernels of Jump-Diffusion Processes with Conditional Diffusion Models

This work studies the problem of learning transition kernels for time-homogeneous jump-diffusion processes using conditional diffusion models and establishes non-asymptotic bounds for the conditional score estimation error and for the KL divergence between the laws of the true and generated discretely observed paths.

Quadratic Weak-to-Strong Generalization in Random Feature Networks via Random Matrix Theory

Weak-to-strong generalization is the phenomenon where a strong student model trained with labels produced by a weak teacher model is able to generalize better than the teacher. In this paper, we study this phenomenon in two-layer random feature networks where the model strength is determined by its width. Using tools f...

Trust-Region Optimization for Smooth Potential-Interaction Energies in Wasserstein Space

Finding low-energy configurations of interacting particles and approximating probability distributions lead to the minimization of potential-interaction energies in Wasserstein space. These energies can be nonconvex, making it important to exploit second-order information while controlling the reliability of local appr...

Slow Beats Fast at the Kesten-Stigum Threshold: Minimax, Fisher-Information and Belief-Propagation Characterizations of the Information-Computation Gap in Sparse Stochastic Block Models

We study community recovery in the sparse symmetric stochastic block model with $q$ communities, average degree $d$ and signal strength $\lambda$ through statistical decision theory and Fisher information, and obtain three characterizations of the Kesten-Stigum threshold $d\lambda^2=1$ and of the information-computatio...

Why Forget-Only Unlearning Needs Memorization

Machine unlearning asks for a deletion algorithm whose output is close to retraining from scratch without the selected forget examples. In this work, we study forget-only unlearning, where the deletion algorithm receives only the trained model and the examples to forget, with no retained data or extra training informat...

Oracle-Efficient and Parameter-Free Agnostic Smoothed Online Learning

This work presents the first oracle-efficient algorithm that achieves sublinear regret in the agnostic setting without knowledge of $\mu$, based on Gaussian Follow-The-Perturbed-Leader, which is parameter-free and establishes the regret bound.

Koopman Observers for Diffusion Acceleration: Correcting Feature Forecasts with Shallow Measurements

This work introduces an observation-corrected Koopman framework for accelerating frozen diffusion models, and identifies finite-dimensional, time-dependent Koopman approximations that jointly describe the increments of shallow and deep network features.

Revisiting Explainable AI through Model-Independent Concept Dictionaries

Modern applications of AI rely on increasingly complex models. Explainable AI (XAI) has emerged as a set of techniques aimed at improving model transparency. However, existing XAI methods typically assume input features to be inherently interpretable, or they rely on intermediate internal abstractions that are difficul...

Shared Gaussianization: What Gaussian Regularizers Certify About Contrastive Learning, and What They Miss

What can a distribution-matching regularizer such as SIGReg in LeJEPA certify about contrastive learning? We study shared Gaussianization (SG), a characteristic-function Gaussianity test on the average of two normalized views, scaled by an independent $\chi_d$ radius. Because disagreeing views shorten the average, one...

Finite-Sample Approximation of Hessian-Guided Perturbed Wasserstein Gradient Flows

Wasserstein gradient flow extends gradient descent to probability measures. Its Hessian-guided perturbed variant (PWGF) adds Gaussian perturbations to escape saddle points in nonconvex problems. We investigate when its approximation by finitely many interacting particles remains accurate over growing time horizons. Our...
