As a result, these bounds have surprising implications both for solutions to the most biased coin problem and for anomaly detection when only partial information about the parameters is known.

We characterize the tradeoff between distortion and sample complexity $m$ in terms of the Gaussian width $\omega(K)$ of the set.

In this paper, we consider matrix completion formulations designed to hit a target data-fitting error level provided by the user, and propose an algorithm called LR-BPDN that is able to exploit factorized formulations to solve the corresponding optimization problem.

Moreover, if the function evaluations are noisy, then approximating gradients by finite differences is difficult.

The max-norm was proposed as a convex matrix regularizer by Srebro et al (2004) and was shown to be empirically superior to the trace-norm for collaborative filtering problems.

We pose transductive classification as a matrix completion problem.
