The sparse regression problem, also known as best subset selection problem, can be cast as follows: Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a point $y\in \mathbb{R}^d$, and an integer $2 \leq k \leq d$, find an affine combination…

Noisy $k$-XOR is a basic average-case inference problem in which one observes random noisy $k$-ary parity constraints and seeks to recover, or more weakly, detect, a hidden Boolean assignment. A central question is to characterize the…
