We study the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian distribution when samples are only shown if they fall in some (unknown) subset $S \subseteq \R^d$. This core problem in truncated statistics has long history going back to…

We consider the following basic inference problem: there is an unknown high-dimensional vector $w \in \mathbb{R}^n$, and an algorithm is given access to labeled pairs $(x,y)$ where $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ is a measurement and $y = w \cdot x +…
