Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T.

| Research Type | Theoretical | Our main positive result is a new algorithm for reliable learning of Gaussian halfspaces on Rd with sample and computational complexity d O(log(min{1/α,1/ϵ})) min(2log(1/ϵ)O(log(1/α)), 2poly(1/ϵ)) , where ϵ is the excess error and α is the bias of the optimal halfspace. We complement our upper bound with a Statistical Query lower bound suggesting that the dΩ(log(1/α)) dependence is best possible. |
