Statistical and Algorithmic Foundations of Reinforcement Learning
Statistical and Algorithmic Foundations of Reinforcement Learning arXiv:2507.14444v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As a paradigm for sequential decision making in unknown environments, reinforcement learning (RL) has received a flurry of attention in recent years. However, the explosion of model complexity in emerging applications and the presence of nonconvexity exacerbate the challenge of achieving efficient RL…

The Broader Landscape of Robustness in Algorithmic Statistics
The Broader Landscape of Robustness in Algorithmic Statistics arXiv:2412.02670v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The last decade has seen a number of advances in computationally efficient algorithms for statistical methods subject to robustness constraints. An estimator may be robust in a number of different ways: to contamination of the dataset, to heavy-tailed data, or in the…
