In this paper, joint limit distributions of maxima and minima on independent and non-identically distributed bivariate Gaussian triangular arrays is derived as the correlation coefficient of $i$th vector of given $n$th row is the function of $i/n$. Furthermore, second-order expansions of joint distributions of maxima and minima are established if the correlation function satisfies some regular conditions.

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercontractivity of the minima of nonnegative, i.i.d. random variables and of both the maxima of minima and the minima of maxima for such r.v.s. It turns out that the idea of hypercontractivity for minima is closely related to small ball probabilities and Gaussian correlation inequalities.
Existing generalization theories analyze the generalization performance mainly based on the model complexity and training process. The ignorance of the task properties, which results from the widely used IID assumption, makes these theories fail to interpret many generalization phenomena or guide practical learning tasks. In this paper, we propose a new Independent and Task-Identically Distributed (ITID) assumption, to consider the task properties into the data generating process. The derived generalization bound based on the ITID assumption identifies the significance of hypothesis invariance in guaranteeing generalization performance. Based on the new bound, we introduce a practical invariance enhancement algorithm from the perspective of modifying data distributions. Finally, we verify the algorithm and theorems in the context of image classification task on both toy and real-world datasets. The experimental results demonstrate the reasonableness of the ITID assumption and the effectiveness of new generalization theory in improving practical generalization performance.
Let U be a Haar distributed unitary matrix in U(n)or O(n). We show that after centering the double index process $$ W^{(n)} (s,t) = sum_{i leq lfloor ns rfloor, j leq lfloor ntrfloor} |U_{ij}|^2 $$ converges in distribution to the bivariate tied-down Brownian bridge. The proof relies on the notion of second order freeness.
We aim to estimate the probability that the sum of nonnegative independent and identically distributed random variables falls below a given threshold, i.e., $mathbb{P}(sum_{i=1}^{N}{X_i} leq gamma)$, via importance sampling (IS). We are particularly interested in the rare event regime when $N$ is large and/or $gamma$ is small. The exponential twisting is a popular technique that, in most of the cases, compares favorably to existing estimators. However, it has several limitations: i) it assumes the knowledge of the moment generating function of $X_i$ and ii) sampling under the new measure is not straightforward and might be expensive. The aim of this work is to propose an alternative change of measure that yields, in the rare event regime corresponding to large $N$ and/or small $gamma$, at least the same performance as the exponential twisting technique and, at the same time, does not introduce serious limitations. For distributions whose probability density functions (PDFs) are $mathcal{O}(x^{d})$, as $x rightarrow 0$ and $d>-1$, we prove that the Gamma IS PDF with appropriately chosen parameters retrieves asymptotically, in the rare event regime, the same performance of the estimator based on the use of the exponential twisting technique. Moreover, in the Log-normal setting, where the PDF at zero vanishes faster than any polynomial, we numerically show that a Gamma IS PDF with optimized parameters clearly outperforms the exponential twisting change of measure. Numerical experiments validate the efficiency of the proposed estimator in delivering a highly accurate estimate in the regime of large $N$ and/or small $gamma$.

In this paper, joint asymptotics of powered maxima for a triangular array of bivariate powered Gaussian random vectors are considered. Under the Husler-Reiss condition, limiting distributions of powered maxima are derived. Furthermore, the second-order expansions of the joint distributions of powered maxima are established under the refined Husler-Reiss condition.
