Position: Zeroth-Order Optimization in Deep Learning Is Underexplored, Not Underpowered

ICML 2026spotlight

Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization, learning from finite differences of function evaluations without backpropagation, has recently regained attention in deep learning due to its memory efficiency and applicability to gray- or black-box pipelines. Yet, ZO methods are often dismissed as fundamentally unsc…

RoS-Guard: Robust and Scalable Online Change Detection with Delay-Optimal Guarantees

AAAI 2026technical

Online change detection (OCD) aims to rapidly identify change points in streaming data and is critical in applications such as power system monitoring, wireless network sensing, and financial anomaly detection. Existing OCD methods typically assume precise system knowledge, which is unrealistic due

Triadic-OCD: Asynchronous Online Change Detection with Provable Robustness, Optimality, and Convergence

ICML 2024poster

The primary goal of online change detection (OCD) is to promptly identify changes in the data stream. OCD problem find a wide variety of applications in diverse areas, e.g., security detection in smart grids and intrusion detection in communication networks. Prior research usually assumes precise kn…
