  • 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…
