This paper gives a review of concentration inequalities which are widely employed in non-asymptotical analyses of mathematical statistics in a wide range of settings, from distribution-free to distribution-dependent, from sub-Gaussian to…

We show how to compute lower bounds for the supremum Bayes error if the class-conditional distributions must satisfy moment constraints, where the supremum is with respect to the unknown class-conditional distributions. Our approach makes…

We introduce a new technique for reducing the dimension of the ambient space of low-degree polynomials in the Gaussian space while preserving their relative correlation structure, analogous to the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. As…

We study a typical optimization model where the optimization variable is composed of multiple probability distributions. Though the model appears frequently in practice, such as for policy problems, it lacks specific analysis in the general…

There is growing interest in improving our algorithmic understanding of fundamental statistical problems such as mean estimation, driven by the goal of understanding the limits of what we can extract from valuable data. The state of the art…

We prove a new lower bound for the unitary synthesis problem in the so-called 1.5-query setting. Our analysis establishes that any attempt to implement arbitrary n-qubit unitaries via limited oracle access requires resources that exceed the…

We consider the problem of robust mean and location estimation w.r.t. any pseudo-norm of the form $x\in\mathbb{R}^d\to ||x||_S = \sup_{v\in S}<v,x>$ where $S$ is any symmetric subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show that the deviation-optimal…

The necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality of the decoding of quantum signals minimizing the Bayesian risk are generalized for the Shannon mutual information criteria. It is shown that for a linear channel with Gaussian boson…

Distributed optimization plays an important role in modern large-scale machine learning and data processing systems by optimizing the utilization of computational resources. One of the classical and popular approaches is Local Stochastic…

We study *non-adaptive* Local Computation Algorithms (LCA). A reduction of Parnas and Ron (TCS'07) turns any distributed algorithm into a non-adaptive LCA. Plugging known distributed algorithms, this leads to non-adaptive LCAs for constant…

Quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) is a simple method to classify a subject into two populations, and was proven to perform as well as the Bayes rule when the data dimension p is fixed. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the…

This study aims at contributing to lower bounds for empirical compatibility constants or empirical restricted eigenvalues. This is of importance in compressed sensing and theory for $\ell_1$-regularized estimators. Let $X$ be an $n \times…

In low-depth implementations of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), the dominant cost is often the number of objective evaluations rather than circuit depth. We introduce a graph-conditioned trust-region method for…

A non-local quantum computation (NLQC) replaces an interaction between two quantum systems with a single simultaneous round of communication and shared entanglement. We study two classes of NLQC, $f$-routing and $f$-BB84, which are of…

Motivated by robust and quantile regression problems, we investigate the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm for minimizing an objective function $f$ that is locally strongly convex with a sub--quadratic tail. This setting covers…

Coherence plays a very important role in Grover search algorithm (GSA). In this paper, we define the normalization coherence N(C), where C is a coherence measurement. In virtue of the constraint of large N and Shannon's maximum entropy…

We provide a new proof of Maurer, Renard, and Pietzak's result that the sum of the nCPA advantages of random permutations $P$ and $Q$ bound the CCA advantage of $P^{-1} \circ Q$. Our proof uses probability directly, as opposed to…

We show that, if $\mathbf{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}_{\mathsf{sym}}$ is drawn from the gaussian orthogonal ensemble, then with high probability the degree 4 sum-of-squares relaxation cannot certify an upper bound on the objective…

Complex query answering (CQA) on knowledge graphs (KGs) is gaining momentum as a challenging reasoning task. In this paper, we show that the current benchmarks for CQA might not be as complex as we think, as the way they are built distorts…

Sparse component analysis (SCA), also known as complete dictionary learning, is the following problem: Given an input matrix $M$ and an integer $r$, find a dictionary $D$ with $r$ columns and a matrix $B$ with $k$-sparse columns (that is,…
