Optimal and Private Learning from Human Response Data

no code implementations10 Mar 2023 Duc Nguyen, Anderson Y. Zhang

Firstly, we obtain a refined entrywise error bound for the spectral algorithm, complementing the `average error' $\ell_2$ bound in their work.

Efficient and Accurate Learning of Mixtures of Plackett-Luce Models

no code implementations10 Feb 2023 Duc Nguyen, Anderson Y. Zhang

We propose an initialization algorithm that can provide a provably accurate initial estimate and an EM algorithm that maximizes the true log-likelihood function efficiently.

Optimal Orthogonal Group Synchronization and Rotation Group Synchronization

no code implementations28 Sep 2021 Chao GAO, Anderson Y. Zhang

We study the statistical estimation problem of orthogonal group synchronization and rotation group synchronization.

Optimal Full Ranking from Pairwise Comparisons

We consider the problem of ranking $n$ players from partial pairwise comparison data under the Bradley-Terry-Luce model.

Optimal Clustering in Anisotropic Gaussian Mixture Models

no code implementations14 Jan 2021 Xin Chen, Anderson Y. Zhang

We study the clustering task under anisotropic Gaussian Mixture Models where the covariance matrices from different clusters are unknown and are not necessarily the identical matrix.

SDP Achieves Exact Minimax Optimality in Phase Synchronization

no code implementations7 Jan 2021 Chao GAO, Anderson Y. Zhang

We study the phase synchronization problem with noisy measurements $Y=z^*z^{*H}+\sigma W\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, where $z^*$ is an $n$-dimensional complex unit-modulus vector and $W$ is a complex-valued Gaussian random matrix.

Partial Recovery for Top-$k$ Ranking: Optimality of MLE and Sub-Optimality of Spectral Method

no code implementations30 Jun 2020 Pinhan Chen, Chao GAO, Anderson Y. Zhang

We also derive the optimal signal to noise ratio condition for the exact recovery of the top-$k$ set.

Iterative Algorithm for Discrete Structure Recovery

no code implementations4 Nov 2019 Chao Gao, Anderson Y. Zhang

We propose a general modeling and algorithmic framework for discrete structure recovery that can be applied to a wide range of problems.

Bayesian Time Series Forecasting with Change Point and Anomaly Detection

no code implementations ICLR 2018 Anderson Y. Zhang, Miao Lu, Deguang Kong, Jimmy Yang

However, their performance is easily undermined by the existence of change points and anomaly points, two structures commonly observed in real data, but rarely considered in the aforementioned methods.
