Computational barriers for permutation-based problems, and cumulants of weakly dependent random variables
Bertrand Even, Christophe Giraud, Nicolas Verzelen
In many high-dimensional problems,polynomial-time algorithms fall short of achieving the statistical limits attainable without computational constraints. A powerful approach to pro…
Computational lower bounds in latent models: clustering, sparse-clustering, biclustering
Bertrand Even, Christophe Giraud, Nicolas Verzelen
In many high-dimensional problems, like sparse-PCA, planted clique, or clustering, the best known algorithms with polynomial time complexity fail to reach the statistical performan…
Minimax optimal seriation in polynomial time
Yann Issartel, Christophe Giraud, Nicolas Verzelen
We consider the seriation problem, whose goal is to recover a hidden ordering from a noisy observation of a permuted Robinson matrix. We establish sharp minimax rates under average…
Computation-information gap in high-dimensional clustering
Bertrand Even, Christophe Giraud, Nicolas Verzelen
We investigate the existence of a fundamental computation-information gap for the problem of clustering a mixture of isotropic Gaussian in the high-dimensional regime, where the am…
