Finding the Mode of a Kernel Density Estimate

Jasper C. H. Lee, Jerry Li, Christopher Musco +2

Given points $p_{1}, \dots, p_{n}$ in $R^{d}$ , how do we find a point $x$ which maximizes $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} e^{- ∥ p_{i} - x ∥^{2}}$ ? In other words, how do we find the maxim…

Approximate Guarantees for Dictionary Learning

Aditya Bhaskara, Wai Ming Tai

In the dictionary learning (or sparse coding) problem, we are given a collection of signals (vectors in $R^{d}$ ), and the goal is to find a "basis" in which the signals have…
