Dictionary learning is a popular approach for inferring a hidden basis or dictionary in which data has a sparse representation. Data generated from the dictionary A (an n by m matrix, with m > n in the over-complete setting) is given by Y =…

We study the planted clique problem in which a clique of size k is planted in an Erdos-Renyi graph G(n,1/2) and one is interested in recovering this planted clique. It is widely believed that it exhibits a statistical-computational gap when…
