A new paper published on arXiv addresses the problem of one-bit mean estimation, where data is represented by single binary messages. Researchers have developed a randomized, non-adaptive protocol that achieves optimal sample complexity without requiring interaction between stages. This protocol matches the performance of previous adaptive methods and provides a negative answer to an open problem posed at COLT 2026 regarding the necessity of interaction for order-optimal estimation.
