Fast Algorithms for Sparse PCA and Robust Sparse Estimation

Giannis Iakovidis, Ankit Pensia

We study fast algorithms for sparse-PCA certification. Given a positive semidefinite matrix , the problem asks either to rule out a large -sparse quadratic form or to return…

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…

SoS Certificates for Sparse Singular Values and Their Applications: Robust Statistics, Subspace Distortion, and More

Ilias Diakonikolas, Samuel B. Hopkins, Ankit Pensia +1

We study for random rectangular matrices. If is an matrix with independent Gaussian entries, we give a new family of…

SoS Certifiability of Subgaussian Distributions and its Algorithmic Applications

Ilias Diakonikolas, Samuel B. Hopkins, Ankit Pensia +1

We prove that there is a universal constant so that for every , every centered subgaussian distribution on , and every even $p \in…

Optimal Robust Estimation under Local and Global Corruptions: Stronger Adversary and Smaller Error

Thanasis Pittas, Ankit Pensia

Algorithmic robust statistics has traditionally focused on the contamination model where a small fraction of the samples are arbitrarily corrupted. We consider a recent contaminati…

A Sub-Quadratic Time Algorithm for Robust Sparse Mean Estimation

Ankit Pensia

We study the algorithmic problem of sparse mean estimation in the presence of adversarial outliers. Specifically, the algorithm observes a \emph{corrupted} set of samples from $\ma…
