Removing the floor from Hoeffding and Bernstein inequalities for finite-population U-statistics

Ai et al.

For a U-statistic of order \(k\) on a sample of size \(n\) drawn without replacement, Hoeffding, Bennett and Bernstein bounds hold with effective sample size \(n/k\) instead of \(\lfloor n/k \rfloor\).

The Race Is Decided Early! A Kernel Law Predicts Lock-In in Majority-Vote Test-Time RL

Hwang et al.

In test-time reinforcement learning with majority-vote rewards, each question locks into one answer early, and the paper derives the probability of each outcome from the starting logits and a kernel probe.

Learning Rate Decay Can Exponentially Accelerate SGD for Global Optimization of Nonconvex Functions

Ozgul et al.

For a natural class of nonconvex functions, SGD with a decaying learning rate needs exponentially fewer gradient queries to find the global minimum than SGD with any fixed small step size.

Is price-impact decay statistically identifiable by propagator estimation? Diffusive prices force the inferred kernel to be transient and fine-tuned

Fujiwara et al.

A no-go theorem: when prices are diffusive and order flow has long memory, propagator estimation returns a finely tuned decaying impact kernel whether or not true impact decays.
