Task-Sufficient Contraction for Efficient Machine Information Interfaces
October 5, 2026
This research identifies conditions under which a reduced data source preserves the optimal solution for a downstream task. By merging states based on equivalent action regret, Task-Sufficient Contraction allows for efficient source selection before choosing encoders or optimizers.
