How Well Can Generative Adversarial Networks Learn Densities: A Nonparametric View

Tengyuan Liang

We study in this paper the rate of convergence for learning densities under the Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) framework, borrowing insights from nonparametric statistics. W…

Statistical Inference for the Population Landscape via Moment Adjusted Stochastic Gradients

Tengyuan Liang, Weijie Su

Modern statistical inference tasks often require iterative optimization methods to compute the solution. Convergence analysis from an optimization viewpoint only informs us how wel…

Fisher-Rao Metric, Geometry, and Complexity of Neural Networks

Tengyuan Liang, Tomaso Poggio, Alexander Rakhlin +1

We study the relationship between geometry and capacity measures for deep neural networks from an invariance viewpoint. We introduce a new notion of capacity --- the Fisher-Rao nor…

Weighted Message Passing and Minimum Energy Flow for Heterogeneous Stochastic Block Models with Side Information

T. Tony Cai, Tengyuan Liang, Alexander Rakhlin

We study the misclassification error for community detection in general heterogeneous stochastic block models (SBM) with noisy or partial label information. We establish a connecti…

Adaptive Feature Selection: Computationally Efficient Online Sparse Linear Regression under RIP

Satyen Kale, Zohar Karnin, Tengyuan Liang +1

Online sparse linear regression is an online problem where an algorithm repeatedly chooses a subset of coordinates to observe in an adversarially chosen feature vector, makes a rea…
