Fundamental Limits of Query-Based Subgraph Detection

Wasim Huleihel

The planted subgraph detection problem asks whether a random graph contains a hidden structured subgraph. In the classical formulation, the entire adjacency matrix is observed and…

Testing for a Hidden Geometry in Random Graphs

Amit Silber, Mor Oren-Loberman, Wasim Huleihel

We study the problem of detecting a faint geometric signal hidden in an otherwise random graph. Formally, we consider a hypothesis testing problem in which, under the null, the obs…

Inhomogeneous Submatrix Detection

Mor Oren-Loberman, Dvir Jerbi, Tamir Bendory +1

In this paper, we study the problem of detecting multiple hidden submatrices in a large Gaussian random matrix when the planted signal is inhomogeneous across entries. Under the nu…

Expectation-maximization for low-SNR multi-reference alignment

Amnon Balanov, Wasim Huleihel, Tamir Bendory

We study the multi-reference alignment (MRA) problem of recovering a signal from noisy observations acted on by unknown random circular shifts. While the information-theoretic limi…

Testing Dependency of Weighted Random Graphs

Mor Oren, Vered Paslev, Wasim Huleihel

In this paper, we study the task of detecting the edge dependency between two weighted random graphs. We formulate this task as a simple hypothesis testing problem, where under the…

Confirmation Bias in Gaussian Mixture Models

Amnon Balanov, Tamir Bendory, Wasim Huleihel

Confirmation bias, the tendency to interpret information in a way that aligns with one's preconceptions, can profoundly impact scientific research, leading to conclusions that refl…

Einstein from Noise: Statistical Analysis

Amnon Balanov, Wasim Huleihel, Tamir Bendory

``Einstein from noise" (EfN) is a prominent example of the model bias phenomenon: systematic errors in the statistical model that lead to spurious but consistent estimates. In the…

Detection of Correlated Random Vectors

Dor Elimelech, Wasim Huleihel

In this paper, we investigate the problem of deciding whether two standard normal random vectors and are correlated or n…

Deep Learning-Aided Subspace-Based DOA Recovery for Sparse Arrays

Yoav Amiel, Dor H. Shmuel, Nir Shlezinger +1

Sparse arrays enable resolving more direction of arrivals (DoAs) than antenna elements using non-uniform arrays. This is typically achieved by reconstructing the covariance of a vi…

Planted Bipartite Graph Detection

Asaf Rotenberg, Wasim Huleihel, Ofer Shayevitz

We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a…
