A Fourier analytique approach to Gaussian mixture learning

arXiv:2004. 05813v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Suppose that we are given independent, identically distributed random samples $x_1,\cdots,x_n$ from a mixture at most $k$ many $d$-dimensional spherical Gaussian distributions $\mu_1,\cdots,\mu_{k_0}$ of identical and known variance $\sigma^2$ in each coordinate, such that the minimum $\ell^2$ distance between two distinct centers $y_l$ and $y_j$ is greater than $2\Delta\sigma \min\{\sqrt{d},\sqrt k\}$, where $\Delta>C_0$, and $C_0$ is a sufficiently large universal constant.

A Resolution of the SS--RS--GD Inequalities

arXiv:2607. 22620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Yun, Sra, and Jadbabaie (COLT 2021, open question) conjectured the SS--RS--GD inequalities: for well-conditioned symmetric matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$, the operators $W_{ss}$, $W_{rs}$, and $W_{gd}$ that encode the expected iterate of single-shuffle SGD, random-reshuffle SGD, and gradient descent on a quadratic finite sum should satisfy \[ \|W_{ss}\|\le \| W_{rs}\|\le \|W_{gd}\|.

Optimal Neural Network Approximation via Empirical Least Squares with Deterministic Samples

arXiv:2608. 06687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a rigorous theory of discrete residual least-squares approximation for elliptic spectral equations $\mathfrak L_\beta u=f$ using linearized ReLU$^k$ neural networks on the sphere, where $\mathfrak L_\beta$ is a positive elliptic spectral multiplier of order $\beta$.
