Testable Learning of General Halfspaces under Massart Noise

Ilias Diakonikolas, Giannis Iakovidis, Daniel M. Kane +1

We study the algorithmic task of testably learning general Massart halfspaces under the Gaussian distribution. In the testable learning setting, the aim is the design of a tester-l…

PTF Testing Lower Bounds for Non-Gaussian Component Analysis

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Sihan Liu +1

This work studies information-computation gaps for statistical problems. A common approach for providing evidence of such gaps is to show sample complexity lower bounds (that are s…

Information-Computation Tradeoffs for Noiseless Linear Regression with Oblivious Contamination

Ilias Diakonikolas, Chao Gao, Daniel M. Kane +2

We study the task of noiseless linear regression under Gaussian covariates in the presence of additive oblivious contamination. Specifically, we are given i.i.d.\ samples from a di…

Linear Regression under Missing or Corrupted Coordinates

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

We study multivariate linear regression under Gaussian covariates in two settings, where data may be erased or corrupted by an adversary under a coordinate-wise budget. In the inco…

On Fine-Grained Distinct Element Estimation

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Jasper C. H. Lee +3

We study the problem of distributed distinct element estimation, where servers each receive a subset of a universe and aim to compute a -approximation to…

Efficient Multivariate Robust Mean Estimation Under Mean-Shift Contamination

Ilias Diakonikolas, Giannis Iakovidis, Daniel M. Kane +1

We study the algorithmic problem of robust mean estimation of an identity covariance Gaussian in the presence of mean-shift contamination. In this contamination model, we are given…

Implicit High-Order Moment Tensor Estimation and Learning Latent Variable Models

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane

We study the task of learning latent-variable models. A common algorithmic technique for this task is the method of moments. Unfortunately, moment-based approaches are hampered by…

Super Non-singular Decompositions of Polynomials and their Application to Robustly Learning Low-degree PTFs

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Vasilis Kontonis +2

We study the efficient learnability of low-degree polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) in the presence of a constant fraction of adversarial corruptions. Our main algorithmic resu…

Statistical Query Lower Bounds for Learning Truncated Gaussians

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Thanasis Pittas +1

We study the problem of estimating the mean of an identity covariance Gaussian in the truncated setting, in the regime when the truncation set comes from a low-complexity family $\…

Testing Closeness of Multivariate Distributions via Ramsey Theory

Ilias Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Sihan Liu

We investigate the statistical task of closeness (or equivalence) testing for multidimensional distributions. Specifically, given sample access to two unknown distributions $\mathb…
