Linear Independent Component Analysis (ICA) recovers jointly independent source signals from their linear mixtures. To achieve this, classical ICA algorithms attempt to maximize non-Gaussianity, measured by negentropy, which is linked to independence by information theory.

The paper studies the numerical solution of the Beurling‑LASSO (BLASSO) for estimating Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) with unknown numbers of components and unknown diagonal covariance matrices. It introduces a Conic Particle Gradient Descent (CPGD) algorithm that incorporates Riemannian gradient descent to respect the Fisher‑Rao geometry of Gaussian distributions. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees, including exponential local convergence under a non‑degeneracy condition related to component separation, and demonstrate through numerical experiments that CPGD is more robust to overspecification of components than the EM algorithm.

arXiv:2603. 11308v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a cornerstone of dimensionality reduction, yet its classical formulation relies critically on second-order moments and is therefore fragile in the presence of heavy-tailed data and impulsive noise.

The paper tackles two key gaps in streaming PCA using Oja's algorithm: it establishes sharp operator‑norm convergence for general‑rank subspaces under sub‑Gaussian data, and it provides distributional inference for the resulting subspace estimator. The authors remove non‑vanishing remainder terms from existing analyses, achieving rates that match minimax bounds in both dense‑tail and sparse‑tail regimes. They further develop a linearization of Oja’s iterates, enabling high‑dimensional Gaussian approximations and an online multiplier bootstrap for practical inference.

The paper studies streaming principal component analysis under a robust setting where the covariance matrix can vary within a temporal uncertainty set, rather than being fixed. It establishes fundamental convergence limits for any algorithm that recovers principal components and analyzes the noisy power method and Oja's algorithm, showing that the noisy power method achieves rate‑optimal convergence in this setting. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real‑world data confirm the theoretical findings.
