We consider the problem of community detection or clustering in the labeled Stochastic Block Model (LSBM) with a finite number $K$ of clusters of sizes linearly growing with the global population of items $n$. Every pair of items is labeled…

We study the weak recovery problem on the $r$-uniform hypergraph stochastic block model ($r$-HSBM) with two balanced communities. In this model, $n$ vertices are randomly divided into two communities, and size-$r$ hyperedges are added…

We study information theoretic limits of recovering an unknown $n$ dimensional, complex signal vector $\mathbf{x}_\star$ with unit norm from $m$ magnitude-only measurements of the form $y_i = |(\mathbf{A} \mathbf{x}_\star)_i|^2, \; i = 1,2…

We propose an information-theoretic framework for matrix completion. The theory goes beyond the low-rank structure and applies to general matrices of "low description complexity". Specifically, we consider $m\times n$ random matrices…

We address the problem of variable selection in a high-dimensional but sparse mean model, under the additional constraint that only privatised data are available for inference. The original data are vectors with independent entries having a…

Given a large data matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, we consider the problem of determining whether its entries are i.i.d. with some known marginal distribution $A_{ij}\sim P_0$, or instead $A$ contains a principal submatrix $A_{{\sf…
