Function values are, in some sense, "almost as good" as general linear information for $L_2$-approximation (optimal recovery, data assimilation) of functions from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. This was recently proved by new upper…

We consider the problem of exact recovery of a $k$-sparse binary vector from generalized linear measurements (such as logistic regression). We analyze the linear estimation algorithm (Plan, Vershynin, Yudovina, 2017), and also show…

We study the problem of $(\epsilon,\delta)$-differentially private learning of linear predictors with convex losses. We provide results for two subclasses of loss functions. The first case is when the loss is smooth and non-negative but not…

This paper studies the problem of approximating a function $f$ in a Banach space $X$ from measurements $l_j(f)$, $j=1,\dots,m$, where the $l_j$ are linear functionals from $X^*$. Most results study this problem for classical Banach spaces…

Stochastic convex optimization is one of the most well-studied models for learning in modern machine learning. Nevertheless, a central fundamental question in this setup remained unresolved: "How many data points must be observed so that…
