Marchenko-Pastur law for tensor powers of exchangeable unconditional vectors

Feng Cheng, Dan Mikulincer

Given an isotropic, exchangeable, and unconditional random vector , we consider the sample covariance matrix constructed from i.i.d. copies of several tensor models of $…

Nodal Count for Orthogonally Invariant Ensembles

Lior Alon, Dan Mikulincer, John Urschel

We investigate the nodal count of eigenvectors of random matrices interpreted as operators on signed complete graphs. Our focus is on orthogonally invariant ensembles, with particu…

Low-dimensional Functions are Efficiently Learnable under Randomly Biased Distributions

Elisabetta Cornacchia, Dan Mikulincer, Elchanan Mossel

The problem of learning single index and multi index models has gained significant interest as a fundamental task in high-dimensional statistics. Many recent works have analysed gr…

Stochastic Localization with Non-Gaussian Tilts and Applications to Tensor Ising Models

Dan Mikulincer, Arianna Piana

We present generalizations and modifications of Eldan's Stochastic Localization process, extending it to incorporate non-Gaussian tilts, making it useful for a broader class of mea…

Stochastic proof of the sharp symmetrized Talagrand inequality

Thomas A. Courtade, Max Fathi, Dan Mikulincer

We give a new proof of the sharp symmetrized form of Talagrand's transport-entropy inequality. Compared to stochastic proofs of other Gaussian functional inequalities, the new idea…

Characterizing the fourth-moment phenomenon of monochromatic subgraph counts via influences

Nitya Mani, Dan Mikulincer

We investigate the distribution of monochromatic subgraph counts in random vertex -colorings of large graphs. We give sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of these…

Time Lower Bounds for the Metropolis Process and Simulated Annealing

Zongchen Chen, Dan Mikulincer, Daniel Reichman +1

The Metropolis process (MP) and Simulated Annealing (SA) are stochastic local search heuristics that are often used in solving combinatorial optimization problems. Despite signific…

Transportation onto log-Lipschitz perturbations

Max Fathi, Dan Mikulincer, Yair Shenfeld

We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of globally Lipschitz transport maps between probability measures and their log-Lipschitz perturbations, with dimension-free bo…

Is this correct? Let's check!

Omri Ben-Eliezer, Dan Mikulincer, Elchanan Mossel +1

Societal accumulation of knowledge is a complex process. The correctness of new units of knowledge depends not only on the correctness of new reasoning, but also on the correctness…

Archimedes Meets Privacy: On Privately Estimating Quantiles in High Dimensions Under Minimal Assumptions

Omri Ben-Eliezer, Dan Mikulincer, Ilias Zadik

The last few years have seen a surge of work on high dimensional statistics under privacy constraints, mostly following two main lines of work: the ``worst case'' line, which does…

Noise stability on the Boolean hypercube via a renormalized Brownian motion

Ronen Eldan, Dan Mikulincer, Prasad Raghavendra

We consider a variant of the classical notion of noise on the Boolean hypercube which gives rise to a new approach to inequalities regarding noise stability. We use this approach t…

Size and depth of monotone neural networks: interpolation and approximation

Dan Mikulincer, Daniel Reichman

We study monotone neural networks with threshold gates where all the weights (other than the biases) are non-negative. We focus on the expressive power and efficiency of representa…

On the Lipschitz properties of transportation along heat flows

Dan Mikulincer, Yair Shenfeld

We prove new Lipschitz properties for transport maps along heat flows, constructed by Kim and Milman. For (semi)-log-concave measures and Gaussian mixtures, our bounds have several…

The Brownian transport map

Dan Mikulincer, Yair Shenfeld

Contraction properties of transport maps between probability measures play an important role in the theory of functional inequalities. The actual construction of such maps, however…

Non-asymptotic approximations of neural networks by Gaussian processes

Ronen Eldan, Dan Mikulincer, Tselil Schramm

We study the extent to which wide neural networks may be approximated by Gaussian processes when initialized with random weights. It is a well-established fact that as the width of…
