- The count-aware IPW estimator multiplies the scalar finite difference by an IPW factor, the layer draw count, and the layer perturbation. — Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling
- Without clipping, the count-aware IPW estimator is unbiased because the expected normalized draw count equals one. — Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling
- Layer multiplicity increases the update assigned to layers sampled multiple times. — Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling
- Sampling with replacement is central because it creates multiplicities and enables the count-aware IPW correction. — Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling
- Clipping introduces finite bias but bounds the effect of very small sampling probabilities. — Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling
- The ablation results support a bias-variance tradeoff for clipping thresholds. — Universally Empowering Zeroth-Order Optimization via Adaptive Layer-wise Sampling
