One-bit compressed sensing (1bCS) addresses the recovery of sparse signals from highly quantized measurements, retaining only the sign of each linear measurement. In the support recovery setting, the goal is to identify $\text{supp}(x)$,…
We study support recovery for a $k \times k$ principal submatrix with elevated mean $\lambda/N$, hidden in an $N\times N$ symmetric mean zero Gaussian matrix. Here $\lambda>0$ is a universal constant, and we assume $k = N \rho$ for some…
We propose a penalized pseudo-likelihood criterion to estimate the graph of conditional dependencies in a discrete Markov random field that can be partially observed. We prove the convergence of the estimator in the case of a finite or…
