New framework improves sequential function approximation for slowly-varying sequences

Researchers have developed a new framework for sequentially approximating functions within slowly-varying sequences, where the difference between consecutive elements is small. This approach generalizes existing methods to various linear and nonlinear functions, offering improved estimation results for matrix powers, spectral densities, Monte Carlo integration, and partial differential equations. A novel algorithm dynamically scales the estimation budget based on sequence variation, providing sharper bounds than previous methods that relied on a fixed budget. The framework also introduces on-the-fly estimation of changes, making the sequential approximation toolkit more adaptive and efficient. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient AI models that process sequential data by improving how they estimate functions over time.

    Dynamic estimation of slowly varying sequences

    We consider the problem of sequentially approximating functions of each element in a slowly-varying sequence, i.e. one where the magnitude $α_i$ of the difference between the elements at positions $i$ and $i-1$ is small. Recent work on implicit trace estimation shows that when $α…
