Overparameterized fully-connected neural networks have been shown to behave like kernel models when trained with gradient descent, under mild conditions on the width, the learning rate, and the parameter initialization. In the limit of…

A triplet comparison oracle on a set $S$ takes an object $x \in S$ and for any pair $\{y, z\} \subset S \setminus \{x\}$ declares which of $y$ and $z$ is more similar to $x$. Partitioned Local Depth (PaLD) supplies a principled…

Data depth is a concept in multivariate statistics that measures the centrality of a point in a given data cloud in $\IR^d$. If the depth of a point can be represented as the minimum of the depths with respect to all one-dimensional…

Efforts to understand the generalization mystery in deep learning have led to the belief that gradient-based optimization induces a form of implicit regularization, a bias towards models of low "complexity." We study the implicit…

Many constructions in computability theory rely on "time tricks". In the higher setting, relativising to some oracles shows the necessity of these. We construct an oracle~$A$ and a set~$X$, higher Turing reducible to~$X$, but for which…

The statistical rank tests play important roles in univariate non-parametric data analysis. If one attempts to generalize the rank tests to a multivariate case, the problem of defining a multivariate order will occur. It is not clear how to…

Why and when does depth improve generalization? We study this question in an implementation-agnostic state-transition model, where a depth-$k$ predictor is a readout class $H$ composed with the word ball $B(k,F)$ generated by hidden state…

We present three different perspectives of oracle. First, an oracle is a blackbox; second, an oracle is a tool to change the way we access mathematical objects; and third, an oracle is a factor that causes a change in truth values.…
