To successfully work on variable selection, sparse model structure has become a basic assumption for all existing methods. However, this assumption is questionable as it is hard to hold in most of cases and none of existing methods may…

We study the problem of discovering functional dependencies (FD) from a noisy dataset. We focus on FDs that correspond to statistical dependencies in a dataset and draw connections between FD discovery and structure learning in…

We study the problem of estimating the value of a known smooth function $f$ at an unknown point $\boldsymbol{\mu} \in \mathbb{R}^n$, where each component $\mu_i$ can be sampled via a noisy oracle. Sampling more frequently components of…

This work deals with the ill-posed inverse problem of reconstructing a function $f$ given implicitly as the solution of $g = Af$, where $A$ is a compact linear operator with unknown singular values and known eigenfunctions. We observe the…

We study the problem of detection of a high-dimensional signal function in the white Gaussian noise model. As well as a smoothness assumption on the signal function, we assume an additive sparse condition on the latter. The detection…

We study sampling properties of the zero set of the Gaussian entire function on Fock spaces. Firstly, we relax Seip and Wallst\'en's density and separation conditions for sampling sets on Fock spaces to obtain weighted inequalities for sets…

Maximizing high-dimensional, non-convex functions through noisy observations is a notoriously hard problem, but one that arises in many applications. In this paper, we tackle this challenge by modeling the unknown function as a sample from…

Random non-linear Fourier features have recently shown remarkable performance in a wide-range of regression and classification applications. Motivated by this success, this article focuses on a sparse non-linear Fourier feature (NFF) model.…

Based on discrete observations, we develop a test to infer if the volatility function $\sigma(\cdot)$ within the nonparametric Gaussian white noise model $dY_t = \sigma(t)dW_t$ is constant. The testing procedure is shown to be…

We consider the problem of sparse signal recovery from noisy measurements. Many of frequently used recovery methods rely on some sort of tuning depending on either noise or signal parameters. If no estimates for either of them are…

In the pivotal variable selection problem, we derive the exact non-asymptotic minimax selector over the class of all $s$-sparse vectors, which is also the Bayes selector with respect to the uniform prior. While this optimal selector is, in…
