Universal priors: solving empirical Bayes via Bayesian inference and pretraining
Nick Cannella, Anzo Teh, Yanjun Han +1
We theoretically justify the recent empirical finding of [Teh et al., 2025] that a transformer pretrained on synthetically generated data achieves strong performance on empirical B…
Causal Inference with High-dimensional Discrete Covariates
Zhenghao Zeng, Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Yanjun Han +1
When estimating causal effects from observational studies, researchers often need to adjust for many covariates to deconfound the non-causal relationship between exposure and outco…
PETS: A Principled Framework Towards Optimal Trajectory Allocation for Efficient Test-Time Self-Consistency
Zhangyi Liu, Huaizhi Qu, Xiaowei Yin +4
Test-time scaling can improve model performance by aggregating stochastic reasoning trajectories. However, achieving sample-efficient test-time self-consistency under a limited bud…
Interactive Learning of Single-Index Models via Stochastic Gradient Descent
Nived Rajaraman, Yanjun Han
Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a cornerstone algorithm for high-dimensional optimization, renowned for its empirical successes. Recent theoretical advances have provided a de…
Evolution of Information in Interactive Decision Making: A Case Study for Multi-Armed Bandits
Yuzhou Gu, Yanjun Han, Jian Qian
We study the evolution of information in interactive decision making through the lens of a stochastic multi-armed bandit problem. Focusing on a fundamental example where a unique o…
Sharp mean-field analysis of permutation mixtures and permutation-invariant decisions
Yiguo Liang, Yanjun Han
We develop sharp bounds on the statistical distance between high-dimensional permutation mixtures and their i.i.d. counterparts. Our approach establishes a new geometric link betwe…
