提出统一框架，用熵流分析各类马尔可夫学习算法的泛化误差。

Many learning algorithms can be represented as Markov processes, and understanding their generalization error is a central topic in learning theory. For specific continuous-time noisy algorithms, a prominent analysis technique relies on information-theoretic tools and the so-called ``entropy flow'' method. This technique is compatible with a broad range of assumptions and leverages the convergence properties of learning dynamics to produce meaningful generalization bounds, which can also be informative or extend to discrete-time settings. Despite their success, existing entropy flow formulations are limited to specific noise and algorithm structures (\eg, Langevin dynamics). In this work, we exploit new technical tools to extend its applicability to all learning algorithms whose iterative dynamics is governed by a time-homogeneous Markov process. Our approach builds on a principled continuous-time approximation of Markov algorithms and introduces a new, exact entropy flow formula for such processes. Within this unified framework, we establish novel connections to a well-studied family of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, which we use to connect the generalization error to the ergodic properties of Markov processes. Finally, we provide a detailed analysis of all the terms appearing in our theory and demonstrate its effectiveness by deriving new generalization bounds for several concrete algorithms.
