• Authors: Hongjian Wang, Aaditya Ramdas
• Abstract summary: We present new concentration inequalities for either martingale dependent or exchangeable random symmetric matrices under a variety of tail conditions. These inequalities are often randomized in a way that renders them strictly tighter than existing deterministic results in the literature.

• Abstract: We present new concentration inequalities for either martingale dependent or exchangeable random symmetric matrices under a variety of tail conditions, encompassing now-standard Chernoff bounds to self-normalized heavy-tailed settings. These inequalities are often randomized in a way that renders them strictly tighter than existing deterministic results in the literature, are typically expressed in the Loewner order, and are sometimes valid at arbitrary data-dependent stopping times. Along the way, we explore the theory of positive semidefinite supermartingales and maximal inequalities, a natural matrix analog of scalar nonnegative supermartingales that is potentially of independent interest.

• A Result About the Classification of Quantum Covariance Matrices Based on Their Eigenspectra [0.0]
  We find a non-trivial class of eigenspectra with the property that the set of quantum covariance matrices corresponding to any eigenspectrum in this class are related by symplectic transformations. We show that all non-degenerate eigenspectra with this property must belong to this class, and that the set of such eigenspectra coincides with the class of non-degenerate eigenspectra.

• The extended Ville's inequality for nonintegrable nonnegative supermartingales [30.14855064043107]
  We rigorously present an extended theory of nonnegative supermartingales requiring neither integrability nor finiteness. We derive a key maximal inequality foreshadowed by Robbins, which we call the extended Ville's inequality. We derive an extension of the method of mixtures, which applies to $sigma$-finite mixtures of our extended nonnegative supermartingales.

• Benign Overfitting of Constant-Stepsize SGD for Linear Regression [122.70478935214128]
  inductive biases are central in preventing overfitting empirically. This work considers this issue in arguably the most basic setting: constant-stepsize SGD for linear regression. We reflect on a number of notable differences between the algorithmic regularization afforded by (unregularized) SGD in comparison to ordinary least squares.

• A Unified Joint Maximum Mean Discrepancy for Domain Adaptation [73.44809425486767]
  This paper theoretically derives a unified form of JMMD that is easy to optimize. From the revealed unified JMMD, we illustrate that JMMD degrades the feature-label dependence that benefits to classification. We propose a novel MMD matrix to promote the dependence, and devise a novel label kernel that is robust to label distribution shift.

• Statistics of the Spectral Form Factor in the Self-Dual Kicked Ising Model [0.0]
  We show that at large enough times the probability distribution agrees exactly with the prediction of Random Matrix Theory. This behaviour is due to a recently identified additional anti-unitary symmetry of the self-dual kicked Ising model.

• Metrizing Weak Convergence with Maximum Mean Discrepancies [88.54422104669078]
  This paper characterizes the maximum mean discrepancies (MMD) that metrize the weak convergence of probability measures for a wide class of kernels. We prove that, on a locally compact, non-compact, Hausdorff space, the MMD of a bounded continuous Borel measurable kernel k, metrizes the weak convergence of probability measures if and only if k is continuous.
