We consider the setup of nonparametric {\em blind regression} for estimating the entries of a large $m \times n$ matrix, when provided with a small, random fraction of noisy measurements. We assume that all rows $u \in [m]$ and columns $i…

Random geometric graphs are a popular choice for a latent points generative model for networks. Their definition is based on a sample of $n$ points $X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n$ on the Euclidean sphere~$\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ which represents the latent…
