Exact Generalization Error Curves of Kernel Ridge Regression for Functional Moment Estimation

Yinan Ding, Yicheng Li

Kernel ridge regression is a standard method for functional data analysis, but its exact behavior is less understood. We study tensor-product kernel ridge regression for estimating…

A Van Trees Lower Bound for Fully Interactive Differentially Private Federated Learning

T. Tony Cai, Yicheng Li

Federated differentially private protocols can communicate over many adaptive rounds and reuse each client's local samples. Existing lower bound arguments for federated DP are ofte…

AMO: Adaptive Muon Orthogonalization

Xinlin Zhuang, Panyi Ouyang, Yichen Li +7

Muon has recently emerged as a competitive alternative to AdamW for large-scale pre-training, with orthogonalization via Newton-Schulz (NS) iterations as its core operation. Existi…

Alignment-Sensitive Minimax Rates for Spectral Algorithms with Learned Kernels

Dongming Huang, Zhifan Li, Yicheng Li +1

We study spectral algorithms in the setting where kernels are learned from data. We introduce the effective span dimension (ESD), an alignment-sensitive complexity measure that dep…
