In this letter, we propose an algorithm for recovery of sparse and low rank components of matrices using an iterative method with adaptive thresholding. In each iteration, the low rank and sparse components are obtained using a thresholding…
We study the problem of satisfiability of randomly chosen clauses, each with K Boolean variables. Using the cavity method at zero temperature, we find the phase diagram for the K=3 case. We show the existence of an intermediate phase in the…
We consider robust low rank matrix estimation as a trace regression when outputs are contaminated by adversaries. The adversaries are allowed to add arbitrary values to arbitrary outputs. Such values can depend on any samples. We deal with…
Compressed sensing and its extensions have recently triggered interest in randomized signal acquisition. A key finding is that random measurements provide sparse signal reconstruction guarantees for efficient and stable algorithms with a…
This paper considers the problem of estimating a low-rank matrix from the observation of all or a subset of its entries in the presence of Poisson noise. When we observe all entries, this is a problem of matrix denoising; when we observe…
We study the computational complexity of a very basic problem, namely that of finding solutions to a very large set of random linear equations in a finite Galois Field modulo q. Using tools from statistical mechanics we are able to identify…
We give improved separations for the query complexity analogue of the log-approximate-rank conjecture i.e. we show that there are a plethora of total Boolean functions on $n$ input bits, each of which has approximate Fourier sparsity at…
Matrix completion is a classical problem that has received recurring interest across a wide range of fields. In this paper, we revisit this problem in an ultra-sparse sampling regime, where each entry of an unknown, $n\times d$ matrix $M$…
In this paper, we show that the low rank matrix completion problem can be reduced to the problem of finding the rank of a certain tensor.
Noisy matrix completion has attracted significant attention due to its applications in recommendation systems, signal processing and image restoration. Most existing works rely on (weighted) least squares methods under various low-rank…
In the present paper, we consider the problem of matrix completion with noise. Unlike previous works, we consider quite general sampling distribution and we do not need to know or to estimate the variance of the noise. Two new nuclear-norm…
We describe several algorithms for matrix completion and matrix approximation when only some of its entries are known. The approximation constraint can be any whose approximated solution is known for the full matrix. For low rank…
The problem of identifying a planted assignment given a random $k$-SAT formula consistent with the assignment exhibits a large algorithmic gap: while the planted solution becomes unique and can be identified given a formula with $O(n\log…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the threshold of the q-overlap-k-Exact cover problem. These results are motivated by the one-step replica symmetry breaking approach of Statistical Physics, and the hope of using an approach based on that…
Low-rank approximation of a matrix by means of random sampling has been consistently efficient in its empirical studies by many scientists who applied it with various sparse and structured multipliers, but adequate formal support for this…
This paper is concerned with the hard thresholding operator which sets all but the $k$ largest absolute elements of a vector to zero. We establish a {\em tight} bound to quantitatively characterize the deviation of the thresholded solution…
The distribution of overlaps of solutions of a random CSP is an indicator of the overall geometry of its solution space. For random $k$-SAT, nonrigorous methods from Statistical Physics support the validity of the ``one step replica…

Given an arbitrary matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, we consider the fundamental problem of computing $Ax$ for any $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $Ax$ is $s$-sparse. While fast algorithms exist for particular choices of $A$, such as the…
Matrix completion, the problem of completing missing entries in a data matrix with low dimensional structure (such as rank), has seen many fruitful approaches and analyses. Tensor completion is the tensor analog, that attempts to impute…
