Estimating a decision threshold requires locating observations near an unknown boundary. We study how gradient-based pretraining learns this statistical rule in a two-parameter softmax-attention model with a fixed feature and inequality direction. Pretraining uses labeled contexts and their true thresholds; a fresh thr...

We introduce sHAIL-Causal, the causal specialization of the Saturated Hierarchical Atomic Incremental Learning (sHAIL) paradigm: a sequential staircase procedure that ascends a nested hierarchy of hypothesis classes H_0 < H_1 < ... < H_K once a saturation signal indicates that mastery of the current stage has plateaued...
We study errors-in-variables problems in which a target study contains only a single error-prone surrogate of an unobserved exposure, while an external source study provides repeated surrogate measurements from a different population. The measurement error distribution is allowed to depend on the observed error-free va...
Multivariate functional data arise in many modern manufacturing systems, where multiple sensors record densely sampled process trajectories. Monitoring such data is challenging because nominal variation is strongly correlated across samples, sensors, and time, while faults may appear either as isolated deviations or as...

This paper concerns how semantic context determines geometry in learned vector representations. Similarity is typically measured using cosine similarity, which provides a single fixed geometry. Semantic similarity, however, is inherently context dependent: two images may be similar because they depict the same object,...

A central question in the prediction of stochastic processes is the extent to which past information can improve the probability of correctly predicting the next state. We introduce the Memory Prediction Excess (MPE) to address this question quantitatively. The MPE measures the average improvement in prediction accurac...
We introduce a geometric formulation of statistical feature learning for supervised regression. Feature learning is defined through a base--fiber decomposition: the base is the feature-side geometry produced by training, and the fiber is the learned feature space where estimation is performed. We prove this property fo...

We propose a method for choosing the shared memory parameter $\beta_1=\beta_2=\beta$ in Adam from a short pilot training. The selected $\beta$ remains fixed during the subsequent full training. A local model of Adam's normalized direction balances sampling variability against the delay introduced by averaging past grad...

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard tool for post-training language models on reasoning tasks, where the policy is updated by reward feedback while exploring the space of responses. Despite its empirical success, theoretical understanding of RL post-training remains limited, in particular of why on-policy...
We establish a polynomial sample complexity separation between symmetry-aware and symmetry-agnostic feature learning. We study growing-rank multi-index models with high-dimensional Gaussian covariates in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $r=\Theta(d^\delta)$ teacher directions forming a cyclic symmetry orbit, where $0<\delta<1/2$. We...

A mean shift between two data sources can be easy to detect but hard to remove without substantially changing their representations. We cast its removal as a statistical decision problem: from noisy differences between paired calibration measurements in $\mathbb{R}^d$, learn one linear map, applied to both sources unde...

Simulation-based inference (SBI) has become a powerful approach to Bayesian inference in complex scientific models whose likelihoods are difficult or impossible to evaluate. Amortized SBI learns reusable inference models from simulated data, enabling rapid posterior inference for new observations, and modern generative...

A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
