A new paper by Kearns et al. resolves a central open problem in networked information aggregation by establishing an $\Omega(1/\sqrt{D})$ lower bound for the mean squared error (MSE) on a path of length D. This finding improves upon previous work that showed an $O(1/\sqrt{D})$ upper bound and an $\Omega(1/D)$ lower bound, thus closing the gap for MSE. The analysis is extended to a broader class of convex loss functions, demonstrating that the $\ell$-error lower bound is also $\Omega(1/\sqrt{D})$ for Gaussian instances in their worst-case family, which includes the logistic loss.
