Learning bounds for doubly-robust covariate shift adaptation

Jeonghwan Lee, Cong Ma

Distribution shift between the training domain and the test domain poses a key challenge for modern machine learning. An extensively studied instance is the \emph{covariate shift},…

The Adaptivity Barrier in Batched Nonparametric Bandits: Sharp Characterization of the Price of Unknown Margin

Rong Jiang, Cong Ma

We study batched nonparametric contextual bandits under a margin condition when the margin parameter is unknown. To capture the statistical cost of this ignorance, we introduce…

Auditing Differential Privacy in the Black-Box Setting

Kaining Shi, Cong Ma

This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for auditing differential privacy (DP) in a black-box setting. Leveraging the concept of -differential privacy, we explicitly…

Batched Nonparametric Contextual Bandits

Rong Jiang, Cong Ma

We study nonparametric contextual bandits under batch constraints, where the expected reward for each action is modeled as a smooth function of covariates, and the policy updates a…

On the design-dependent suboptimality of the Lasso

Reese Pathak, Cong Ma

This paper investigates the effect of the design matrix on the ability (or inability) to estimate a sparse parameter in linear regression. More specifically, we characterize the op…
