→ CDIZ’23: Runtime ≈ poly(d) · exp(k/ε)
→ Gaitonde–Mossel’24: Runtime ≈ poly(d) / εᵏ (+ also have optimal sample complexity)
→ Ours: Runtime ≈ poly(d) / ε² via warm start + SGD

Key insight: Recast self-selection as regression with coarse (aka rounded) labels

Self-selection arises when agents face options r_1, …,r_k and strategically choose the one to, e.g., maximize the reward

The seminal work of Roy (1951) introduced learning with self-selection

Even identification for unknown-index variant is nascent, starting w/ CDIZ [STOC’23]
