Finite-width shallow networks remain within poly(d) m^{-min(1,c/6)} of their mean-field limit uniformly in time when mean-field excess loss decays as t^{-c} under standard regularity and an integral condition on the loss.
Establishes O(N^{-1/2}) convergence for simultaneous MDA and O(N^{-2/3}) for alternating MDA to mixed Nash equilibria in mean-field convex-concave min-max problems via dual-space Bregman analysis.
Establishes convergence guarantees for overparameterized 2-layer ReLU networks in flow matching, generalization bounds for the velocity-field objective, and Wasserstein guarantees for generated samples, using multi-task representation learning bounds.
A unified framework for exponential tilting in diffusion and flow models that includes bias-variance decompositions showing finite gradient variance for some methods, norm bounds on adjoint ODEs, and adapted losses with new Crooks and Jarzynski identities.
SPIN lets weak LLMs become strong by self-generating training data from previous model versions and training to prefer human-annotated responses over its own outputs, outperforming DPO even with extra GPT-4 data on benchmarks.
Proves mean-field limit and propagation of chaos for 1D particle systems with singular absorption interactions using Girsanov transforms, tightness, and analysis of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation.
Presents an active-sampling method that approximates the weight subspace from Hessian finite differences, recovers the rank-1 tensors by robust nonlinear programming, and attributes layers with gradient descent, yielding stable recovery under a-posteriori verifiable conditions.
At critical learning rate 1/N, the rescaled correlation of SGD in single-index models is claimed to converge to a mean-reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, but the diffusion coefficients are internally inconsistent.
