Stability of the Markov-Krein Transform Under Classical Convolutions

Pierre Mergny

We prove that, for every , the image of the generalized Markov-Krein transform on probability measures with finite logarithmic moment is closed under classical additive convol…

Spectral phase transitions in Gaussian multi-index models

Florent Krzakala, Pierre Mergny, Vanessa Piccolo

Recovering a low-dimensional latent subspace from nonlinear observations of Gaussian covariates in high dimensions is a fundamental problem in feature learning. Here, we consider G…

Spectral Thresholds in Correlated Spiked Models and Fundamental Limits of Partial Least Squares

Pierre Mergny, Lenka Zdeborová

We provide a rigorous random matrix theory analysis of spiked cross-covariance models where the signals across two high-dimensional data channels are partially aligned. These model…

Computational Thresholds in Multi-Modal Learning via the Spiked Matrix-Tensor Model

Hugo Tabanelli, Pierre Mergny, Lenka Zdeborova +1

We study the recovery of multiple high-dimensional signals from two noisy, correlated modalities: a spiked matrix and a spiked tensor sharing a common low-rank structure. This sett…

Optimal Spectral Transitions in High-Dimensional Multi-Index Models

Leonardo Defilippis, Yatin Dandi, Pierre Mergny +2

We consider the problem of how many samples from a Gaussian multi-index model are required to weakly reconstruct the relevant index subspace. Despite its increasing popularity as a…

Fundamental limits of Non-Linear Low-Rank Matrix Estimation

Pierre Mergny, Justin Ko, Florent Krzakala +1

We consider the task of estimating a low-rank matrix from non-linear and noisy observations. We prove a strong universality result showing that Bayes-optimal performances are chara…

Spectral Phase Transition and Optimal PCA in Block-Structured Spiked models

Pierre Mergny, Justin Ko, Florent Krzakala

We discuss the inhomogeneous spiked Wigner model, a theoretical framework recently introduced to study structured noise in various learning scenarios, through the prism of random m…

Spectral Phase Transitions in Non-Linear Wigner Spiked Models

Alice Guionnet, Justin Ko, Florent Krzakala +2

We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum of a random matrix where a non-linearity is applied entry-wise to a Wigner matrix perturbed by a rank-one spike with independent an…
