Sparse linear regression is one of the most basic questions in machine learning and statistics. Here, we are given as input a design matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times d}$ and measurements or labels ${y} \in \mathbb{R}^N$ where ${y} = {X}…

Sparsity is a basic property of real vectors that is exploited in a wide variety of applications. In this work, we describe property testing algorithms for sparsity that observe a low-dimensional projection of the input. We consider two…

Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a limited number of noisy linear measurements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In the high-dimensional setting, it is known that recovery with a…

We study the problem of recovering a hidden binary $k$-sparse $p$-dimensional vector $\beta$ from $n$ noisy linear observations $Y=X\beta+W$ where $X_{ij}$ are i.i.d. $\mathcal{N}(0,1)$ and $W_i$ are i.i.d. $\mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2)$. A…

We study the problem of sparse tensor principal component analysis: given a tensor $\pmb Y = \pmb W + \lambda x^{\otimes p}$ with $\pmb W \in \otimes^p\mathbb{R}^n$ having i.i.d. Gaussian entries, the goal is to recover the $k$-sparse unit…
