Parametric RDT approach to computational gap of symmetric binary perceptron
Abstract
We study potential presence of statistical-computational gaps (SCG) in symmetric binary perceptrons (SBP) via a parametric utilization of \emph{fully lifted random duality theory} (fl-RDT) [96]. A structural change from decreasingly to arbitrarily ordered -sequence (a key fl-RDT parametric component) is observed on the second lifting level and associated with \emph{satisfiability} () -- \emph{algorithmic} () constraints density threshold change thereby suggesting a potential existence of a nonzero computational gap . The second level estimate is shown to match the theoretical whereas the level one is proposed to correspond to . For example, for the canonical SBP ( margin) we obtain on the second and (with converging tendency towards range) on the seventh level. Our propositions remarkably well concur with recent literature: (i) in [20] local entropy replica approach predicts as the onset of clustering defragmentation (presumed driving force behind locally improving algorithms failures); (ii) in regime we obtain on the third lifting level which qualitatively matches overlap gap property (OGP) based predictions of [43] and identically matches local entropy based predictions of [24]; (iii) -sequence ordering change phenomenology mirrors the one observed in asymmetric binary perceptron (ABP) in [98] and the negative Hopfield model in [100]; and (iv) as in [98,100], we here design a CLuP based algorithm whose practical performance closely matches proposed theoretical predictions.
