DP-SPRT accepted at AISTATS 2026! 🎉 How do you decide when to stop a sequential test without leaking private information? We propose a near-optimal differentially private sequential test, with a reusable private monitoring mechanism. With Debabrota Basu & Emilie Kaufmann. arxiv.org/abs/2508.06377
DP-SPRT: Differentially Private Sequential Probability Ratio Tests
We revisit Wald's celebrated Sequential Probability Ratio Test for sequential tests of two simple hypotheses, under privacy constraints. We propose DP-SPRT, a wrapper that can be calibrated to achieve...

We turned 1970s arcade games into GPU-accelerated RL environments. Accepted at ICLR 2026! 🎉
OCTAX emulates CHIP-8 games in JAX. 20+ games, 14× faster than EnvPool, fully vectorized.
Retro games, modern hardware. 🕹️
w/ Waris Radji & Hector Piteau. Let us know what you think!
