    Parameterized Complexity of Stationarity Testing for Piecewise-Affine Functions and Shallow CNN Losses

    Researchers have analyzed the parameterized complexity of testing stationarity for continuous piecewise-affine functions, a core task in nonsmooth optimization. Their findings reveal fixed-dimensional tractability for certain aspects and W[1]-hardness for others, with lower bounds suggesting algorithms cannot efficiently scale with the instance size relative to dimension. These results also extend to testing local minimality for PA functions and have implications for analyzing shallow ReLU CNN training losses. AI

    Learning Decision-Sufficient Representations for Linear Optimization

    Researchers have established that computing decision-sufficient dimensions for linear optimization is NP-hard, resolving a prior open problem. They also introduced a relaxed concept of pointwise sufficiency, for which they developed a polynomial-time algorithm. This new approach allows for the construction of compressed datasets that can recover optimal decisions for individual cost vectors, offering a more tractable solution for data-driven contextual linear optimization.
