In this manuscript we consider denoising of large rectangular matrices: given a noisy observation of a signal matrix, what is the best way of recovering the signal matrix itself? For Gaussian noise and rotationally-invariant signal priors, we completely ch ...
How can we discern whether the covariance operator of a stochastic pro-cess is of reduced rank, and if so, what its precise rank is? And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional dat ...
A decomposition of multicorrelation sequences for commuting transformations along primes, Discrete Analysis 2021:4, 27 pp. Szemerédi's theorem asserts that for every positive integer k and every δ>0 there exists n such that every subset of ${1, ...
We discuss some properties of generative models for word embeddings. Namely, (Arora et al., 2016) proposed a latent discourse model implying the concentration of the partition function of the word vectors. This concentration phenomenon led to an asymptotic ...
Recursive blocked algorithms have proven to be highly efficient at the numerical solution of the Sylvester matrix equation and its generalizations. In this work, we show that these algorithms extend in a seamless fashion to higher-dimensional variants of g ...
The problem of finding a k x k submatrix of maximum volume of a matrix A is of interest in a variety of applications. For example, it yields a quasi-best low-rank approximation constructed from the rows and columns of A. We show that such a submatrix can a ...
We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions. The method relies on unitarity formulated as positive semi-definiteness of the matrix of inne ...
Randomized trace estimation is a popular and well-studied technique that approximates the trace of a large-scale matrix B by computing the average of x(T) Bx for many samples of a random vector X. Often, B is symmetric positive definite (SPD) but a number ...
Many techniques for data science and uncertainty quantification demand efficient tools to handle Gaussian random fields, which are defined in terms of their mean functions and covariance operators. Recently, parameterized Gaussian random fields have gained ...
We revisit the statistical mechanics of charge fluctuations in capacitors. In constant-potential classical molecular simulations, the atomic charges of electrode atoms are treated as additional degrees of freedom which evolve in time so as to satisfy the c ...
