In a Gaussian single-index model, neural reward models recover the hidden direction for β1 above an O(1) threshold and provide tilted-policy value-gap bounds for label-weighted and surrogate-weighted exponential fits.
For multi-index polynomials, the top r eigenspace of the AGOP matrix from KRR recovers the central subspace at sample complexity n ~ d^{p+δ} where p is the degree of the informative component.
