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 $\mathcal{X}$.

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.

The paper investigates the sample complexity of estimating the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) between high‑dimensional Gaussian distributions when one distribution is known. It establishes tight bias and variance bounds for the empirical plug‑in estimator, shows how higher‑order extrapolation reduces bias, and introduces a new Relative Taylor Debiasing (RTD) algorithm that achieves optimal sample complexity. Experiments on synthetic data and ImageNet confirm the theoretical predictions and demonstrate RTD’s superior accuracy with limited samples.

In likelihood-free hypothesis testing (LFHT), given samples from two unknown distributions $P,Q$ on $[n]$ with $\mathrm{d_{TV}}(P,Q)\geq\varepsilon$, and from a third distribution $D\in\{P,Q\}$, the g...
