Statistical physics of inference: Thresholds and algorithms

L Zdeborová, F Krzakala - Advances in Physics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Many questions of fundamental interest in today's science can be formulated as inference
problems: some partial, or noisy, observations are performed over a set of variables and the …

From denoising to compressed sensing

CA Metzler, A Maleki… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A denoising algorithm seeks to remove noise, errors, or perturbations from a signal.
Extensive research has been devoted to this arena over the last several decades, and as a …

Spatially coupled ensembles universally achieve capacity under belief propagation

S Kudekar, T Richardson… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We investigate spatially coupled code ensembles. For transmission over the binary erasure
channel, it was recently shown that spatial coupling increases the belief propagation …

Spatially coupled LDPC codes constructed from protographs

DGM Mitchell, M Lentmaier… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we construct protograph-based spatially coupled low-density parity-check
(LDPC) codes by coupling together a series of L disjoint, or uncoupled, LDPC code Tanner …

Breaking the coherence barrier: A new theory for compressed sensing

B Adcock, AC Hansen, C Poon… - Forum of mathematics …, 2017 - cambridge.org
This paper presents a framework for compressed sensing that bridges a gap between
existing theory and the current use of compressed sensing in many real-world applications …

State evolution for general approximate message passing algorithms, with applications to spatial coupling

A Javanmard, A Montanari - … and Inference: A Journal of the …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a class of approximated message passing (AMP) algorithms and characterize
their high-dimensional behavior in terms of a suitable state evolution recursion. Our proof …

Probabilistic reconstruction in compressed sensing: algorithms, phase diagrams, and threshold achieving matrices

F Krzakala, M Mézard, F Sausset, Y Sun… - Journal of Statistical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Compressed sensing is a signal processing method that acquires data directly in a
compressed form. This allows one to make fewer measurements than were considered …

Statistical-physics-based reconstruction in compressed sensing

F Krzakala, M Mézard, F Sausset, YF Sun, L Zdeborová - Physical Review X, 2012 - APS
Compressed sensing has triggered a major evolution in signal acquisition. It consists of
sampling a sparse signal at low rate and later using computational power for the exact …

Information-theoretically optimal compressed sensing via spatial coupling and approximate message passing

DL Donoho, A Javanmard… - IEEE transactions on …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study the compressed sensing reconstruction problem for a broad class of random, band-
diagonal sensing matrices. This construction is inspired by the idea of spatial coupling in …

Optimal group testing

A Coja-Oghlan, O Gebhard… - … on Learning Theory, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
In the group testing problem, which goes back to the work of Dorfman (1943), we aim to
identify a small set of $ k\sim n^\theta $ infected individuals out of a population size $ n …
