Testing ising models

C Daskalakis, N Dikkala… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Given samples from an unknown multivariate distribution p, is it possible to distinguish
whether p is the product of its marginals versus p being far from every product distribution …

Private identity testing for high-dimensional distributions

CL Canonne, G Kamath, A McMillan… - Advances in neural …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In this work we present novel differentially private identity (goodness-of-fit) testers for natural

Random restrictions of high dimensional distributions and uniformity testing with subcube conditioning

CL Canonne, X Chen, G Kamath, A Levi… - Proceedings of the 2021 …, 2021 - SIAM
We give a nearly-optimal algorithm for testing uniformity of distributions supported on {–1, 1}
n, which makes many queries to a subcube conditional sampling oracle (Bhattacharyya and …

Outlier-robust learning of ising models under dobrushin's condition

I Diakonikolas, DM Kane, A Stewart… - … on Learning Theory, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study the problem of learning Ising models satisfying Dobrushin's condition in the outlier-

Fluctuations in mean-field Ising models

N Deb, S Mukherjee - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2023 - projecteuclid.org
In this paper, we study the fluctuations of the average magnetization in an Ising model on an
approximately d N regular graph GN on N vertices. In particular, if GN satisfies a “spectral …

Privately learning Markov random fields
