Semi-Random Sparse Recovery in Nearly-Linear Time

Jonathan A. Kelner, Jerry Li, Allen Liu +2

Sparse recovery is one of the most fundamental and well-studied inverse problems. Standard statistical formulations of the problem are provably solved by general convex programming…

Sharper Rates for Separable Minimax and Finite Sum Optimization via Primal-Dual Extragradient Methods

Yujia Jin, Aaron Sidford, Kevin Tian

We design accelerated algorithms with improved rates for several fundamental classes of optimization problems. Our algorithms all build upon techniques related to the analysis of p…

Robust Regression Revisited: Acceleration and Improved Estimation Rates

Arun Jambulapati, Jerry Li, Tselil Schramm +1

We study fast algorithms for statistical regression problems under the strong contamination model, where the goal is to approximately optimize a generalized linear model (GLM) give…

Lower Bounds on Metropolized Sampling Methods for Well-Conditioned Distributions

Yin Tat Lee, Ruoqi Shen, Kevin Tian

We give lower bounds on the performance of two of the most popular sampling methods in practice, the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm (MALA) and multi-step Hamiltonian Monte…

List-Decodable Mean Estimation in Nearly-PCA Time

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Daniel Kongsgaard +2

Traditionally, robust statistics has focused on designing estimators tolerant to a minority of contaminated data. Robust list-decodable learning focuses on the more challenging reg…

Relative Lipschitzness in Extragradient Methods and a Direct Recipe for Acceleration

Michael B. Cohen, Aaron Sidford, Kevin Tian

We show that standard extragradient methods (i.e. mirror prox and dual extrapolation) recover optimal accelerated rates for first-order minimization of smooth convex functions. To…
