Approximating Uniform Random Rotations by Two-Stage Structured Hadamard Rotations in High Dimensions

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper investigates how well two-stage structured Hadamard rotations approximate uniform random rotations in high-dimensional spaces. It establishes nonasymptotic upper bounds of order √{log d/d} for one-dimensional marginals, while showing a persistent Wasserstein-1 discrepancy for the full vector that does not vanish as dimension grows. These results highlight a separation between marginal and joint approximation quality, though they do not directly translate into algorithmic performance guarantees.

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.

Minimax Lower Bounds of Kernel Discrepancy Estimation: MMD, HSIC, KSD

arXiv:2607. 24235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past 20 years, kernel discrepancies have been leveraged as a highly powerful tool for quantifying the disagreement of distributions, with numerous successful applications in two-sample, goodness-of-fit, and independence testing, among others.
