What happened
Batch of arXiv stat.ML paper announcements (published 2026-03-05) covering theoretical and algorithmic advances across machine learning. Key contributions include a corrected theoretical treatment of UMAP and its metric-realization functors; novel clustering for qualitative-attribute data via learned trees/forests; adaptive parameter selection for kernel-based gradient descents; a new Surprisal-Rényi Free Energy functional; scalable contrastive causal discovery under unknown soft interventions; analyses of No Free Lunch violations in permutation-based optimization; convergence results for Riem
