On the Hardness of Unsupervised Domain Adaptation: Optimal Learners and Information-Theoretic Perspective
Zhiyi Dong, Zixuan Liu, Yongyi Mao
This paper studies the hardness of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) under covariate shift. We model the uncertainty that the learner faces by a distribution in the ground-t…

Distributional Information Embedding: A Framework for Multi-bit Watermarking
Haiyun He, Yepeng Liu, Ziqiao Wang +2
This paper introduces a novel problem, distributional information embedding, motivated by the practical demands of multi-bit watermarking for large language models (LLMs). Unlike t…
