In compressed sensing, the restricted isometry property (RIP) on $M \times N$ sensing matrices (where $M < N$) guarantees efficient reconstruction of sparse vectors. A matrix has the $(s,\delta)$-$\mathsf{RIP}$ property if behaves as a…

We study computational-statistical gaps for improper learning in sparse linear regression. More specifically, given $n$ samples from a $k$-sparse linear model in dimension $d$, we ask what is the minimum sample complexity to efficiently (in…

Given an n-vertex graph G=(V,E) and a set R \subseteq {{x,y} | x,y \in V} of requests, we consider to assign a set of edges to each vertex in G so that for every request {u, v} in R the union of the edge sets assigned to u and v contains a…

In list-decodable subspace recovery, the input is a collection of $n$ points $\alpha n$ (for some $\alpha \ll 1/2$) of which are drawn i.i.d. from a distribution $\mathcal{D}$ with a isotropic rank $r$ covariance $\Pi_*$ (the…
