Gradient-Free Approaches is a Key to an Efficient Interaction with Markovian Stochasticity

This paper deals with stochastic optimization problems involving Markovian noise with a zero-order oracle. We present and analyze a novel derivative-free method for solving such problems in strongly convex smooth and non-smooth settings with both one-point and two-point feedback oracles. Using a randomized batching scheme, we show that when mixing time $τ$ of the underlying noise sequence is less than the dimension of the problem $d$, the convergence estimates of our method do not depend on $τ$. This observation provides an efficient way to interact with Markovian stochasticity: instead of invoking the expensive first-order oracle, one should use the zero-order oracle. Finally, we complement our upper bounds with the corresponding lower bounds. This confirms the optimality of our results.

Provable Quantization with Randomized Hadamard Transform

Vector quantization via random projection followed by scalar quantization is a fundamental primitive in machine learning, with applications ranging from similarity search to federated learning and KV cache compression. While dense random rotations yield clean theoretical guarantees, they require $Θ(d^2)$ time. The randomized Hadamard transform $HD$ reduces this cost to $O(d \log d)$, but its discrete structure complicates analysis and leads to weaker or purely empirical compression guarantees. In this work, we study a variant of this approach: dithered quantization with a single randomized Hadamard transform. Specifically, the quantizer applies $HD$ to the input vector and subtracts a random scalar offset before quantizing, injecting additional randomness at negligible cost. We prove that this approach is unbiased and provides mean squared error bounds that asymptotically match those achievable with truly random rotation matrices. In particular, we prove that a dithered version of TurboQuant achieves mean squared error $\bigl(π\sqrt{3}/2 + o(1)\bigr) \cdot 4^{-b}$ at $b$ bits per coordinate, where the $o(1)$ term vanishes uniformly over all unit vectors and all dimensions as the number of quantization levels grows.
