Given an observation $\mathbf Y \in \mathbb{R}^{d_1\times d_2}$ from the model $\mathbf Y = \mathbf X + \mathbf E$ where $\mathbf X$ is constant and $\mathbf E$ has i.i.d. $N(0,1)$ entries, we consider the problem of detecting a planted…

We consider the change detection problem where the pre-change observation vectors are purely noise and the post-change observation vectors are noise-corrupted compressive measurements of sparse signals with a common support, measured using…

While previous distribution shift detection approaches can identify if a shift has occurred, these approaches cannot localize which specific features have caused a distribution shift -- a critical step in diagnosing or fixing any underlying…

Change point estimation is often formulated as a search for the maximum of a gain function describing improved fits when segmenting the data. Searching through all candidates requires $O(n)$ evaluations of the gain function for an interval…
