High-Magnetization Sampling at Low Temperatures: Ising Models and Bayesian Sparse Linear Regression

Sparsity is a powerful structural resource in optimization and statistics. We develop frameworks for leveraging sparsity in sampling problems over the Hamming slice $\mathcal{X}_k^d:=\{\mathbf{x}\in\{\pm 1\}^d:|\{i:\mathbf{x}_i=1\}|=k\}$, in high-dimensional regimes where $k\ll d$ (i.e., where $\mathcal{X}_k^d$ is \emp...

Optimal estimation for Functional Linear Regression with Noisy Discretized Data

In this paper, we consider the scalar-on-function linear regression model under a realistic sampling scheme in which the functional covariates are observed on a regular grid and contaminated by additive noise. We propose a two-step estimation procedure: first, the underlying curves are reconstructed from the discrete n...

Non-Adaptive 1-Bit Mean Estimation: Minimax Rates and the Sample-Interval Tradeoff

This work identifies the minimum interval budget needed to retain the unrestricted 1-bit minimax sample rate and determines the minimax sample complexity among non-adaptive 1-bit estimators when every one-set $Q^{-1}(1)$ is restricted to a union of at most $s$ intervals.

The Exact Time-Uniform Rate Frontier for Stochastic Gradient Descent on Smooth Convex Objectives

We study the time-uniform convergence of the raw iterate of standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for unconstrained smooth convex objectives. We prove that, under standard noise assumptions, the time-uniform convergence rate gets arbitrarily close to $\sqrt{\log n / n}$ but never reaches it. More specifically, we...

Distribution-free inference on the number of changepoints

The Conformal LOwer bound on Changepoint Count (CLOCC) is shown to be the only feasible way to provide a lower bound on K under the stated assumptions, a property it is referred to as its universality.

Speed Limit for Information Acquisition in Stochastic Learning Dynamics

A Fisher-information flow speed limit is derived that bounds the rate at which trainable parameters can acquire information about latent variables in the data-generating process and establishes Fisher-information speed limits as a quantitative framework for diagnosing when and how different aspects of the data-generati...

Optimal Slice-Adaptive Tuning of Hybrid Slice Sampling

Simulations demonstrate that the tuning schemes reliably yield near-optimal slice-adaptive tuning with essentially no dependence on the initial setting of $w$, and develop automated, slice-adaptive tuning schemes along with suboptimality bounds and asymptotic convergence guarantees.

SGD in Multiclass Logistic Regression: Sequential Learning and Scaling Laws

Theoretical scaling laws from linear regression to multiclass classification to multiclass classification are extended, while connecting to empirical scaling laws observed in large-scale neural networks.

Accelerated High-Accuracy Sampling from a Warm Start via the Proximal Bouncy Particle Sampler

The Proximal Bouncy Particle Sampler is a new sampler that combines ideas from the proximal sampler and the bouncy particle sampler that returns a sample whose law is $\varepsilon$-close to $\mu$ in total variation distance using gradient queries in expectation.

Large Classification-Risk-Optional Label Acquisition

The adaptive classification-risk design attains lower mean error than this Fisher comparator across the labeling budgets considered, although it does not uniformly outperform entropy or margin sampling and differences among the targeted strategies become small as the labeling budget increases.
