Provably Finding a Hidden Dense Submatrix among Many Planted Dense Submatrices via Convex Programming

arXiv:2601. 03946v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the densest submatrix problem, which seeks the submatrix of fixed size of a given binary matrix that contains the most nonzero entries.

Robust Detection of Planted Subgraphs in Semi-Random Models

arXiv:2508. 02158v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Detection of planted subgraphs in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs has been extensively studied, leading to a rich body of results characterizing both statistical and computational thresholds.

Demixing Sparse Signals from Nonlinear Observations using Generalized Non-convex Regularization

arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

How fast can you find a good hypothesis?

arXiv:2509. 03734v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the hypothesis selection problem, we are given sample and query access to finite set of candidate distributions (hypotheses), $\mathcal{H} = \{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, and samples from an unknown distribution $P$, both over a domain $\mathcal{X}$.
