Cost-augmented Schrödinger bridges on graphs are exactly solvable: a Feynman-Kac tilt replaces learned control

The generalized Schrödinger bridge on a graph moves mass between two distributions while charging a cost for the states visited. It has been approached by learning the rates of a controlled continuous-time Markov chain, with a temporal-difference penalty that restores the cost. A state cost folds into the reference pro …

Exact information accounting for SGD methods

As an alternative to the standard geometric analyses, we give an exact, information-theoretic analysis of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and its variants. We show that a preconditioned SGD step is the posterior-mean update of a Gaussian Bayes model, and that its one-step regret splits into an intrinsic-time cost and …
