The spectral edge of sparse directed Erdös-Rényi graphs

Simon Coste, Yizhe Zhu

Let be fixed and let be an matrix with independent $\Ber(d/n)$ entries. For every , we prove that, with high probability, a positive proportion…

The Wasserstein cost of Importance Sampling

Simon Coste, Michael Goldman

Importance sampling (IS) consists in biasing samples from a distribution towards another distribution . Concretely, given samples from , the IS measure is $$\hat{g}…

The delocalization of eigenvectors of real elliptic matrices

Lucas Benigni, Simon Coste, Guillaume Dubach

We investigate delocalization phenomena for eigenvectors of real random matrices that are invariant by orthogonal transformations. A specific phenomenon with these ensembles is tha…

Random eigenvalues of graphenes and the triangulation of plane

Artur Bille, Victor Buchstaber, Simon Coste +2

We analyse the numbers of closed paths of length on two important regular lattices: the hexagonal lattice (also called in chemistry) and its du…

Efficient Training of Energy-Based Models Using Jarzynski Equality

Davide Carbone, Mengjian Hua, Simon Coste +1

Energy-based models (EBMs) are generative models inspired by statistical physics with a wide range of applications in unsupervised learning. Their performance is best measured by t…

Wavelet Score-Based Generative Modeling

Florentin Guth, Simon Coste, Valentin De Bortoli +1

Score-based generative models (SGMs) synthesize new data samples from Gaussian white noise by running a time-reversed Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) whose drift coefficient…

The characteristic polynomial of sums of random permutations and regular digraphs

Simon Coste, Gaultier Lambert, Yizhe Zhu

Let be the sum of permutation matrices of size , each drawn uniformly at random and independently. We prove that the normalized characteristic polynomial $\fra…

Sparse matrices: convergence of the characteristic polynomial seen from infinity

Simon Coste

We prove that the reverse characteristic polynomial of a random matrix with iid entries converges in distribution to…

A simpler spectral approach for clustering in directed networks

Simon Coste, Ludovic Stephan

We study the task of clustering in directed networks. We show that using the eigenvalue/eigenvector decomposition of the adjacency matrix is simpler than all common methods which a…

Detection thresholds in very sparse matrix completion

Charles Bordenave, Simon Coste, Raj Rao Nadakuditi

Let be a rectangular matrix of size and be the random matrix where each entry of is multiplied by an independent -Bernoulli random variable with…

Eigenvalues of the non-backtracking operator detached from the bulk

Simon Coste, Yizhe Zhu

We describe the non-backtracking spectrum of a stochastic block model with connection probabilities . In this regime we answer a qu…

Emergence of extended states at zero in the spectrum of sparse random graphs

Simon Coste, Justin Salez

We confirm the long-standing prediction that is the threshold for the emergence of a non-vanishing absolutely continuous part (extended states) at zero in the li…

Graphs with prescribed local neighborhoods of their universal coverings

Charles Bordenave, Simon Coste

Given a collection of n rooted trees with depth h, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for this collection to be the collection of h-depth universal covering neighborhoods…

The Spectral Gap of Sparse Random Digraphs

Simon Coste

The second largest eigenvalue of a transition matrix has connections with many properties of the underlying Markov chain, and especially its convergence rate towards the statio…
