Sparse Linear Regression and Lattice Problems

no code implementations22 Feb 2024 Aparna Gupte, Neekon Vafa, Vinod Vaikuntanathan

Furthermore, for well-conditioned (essentially) isotropic Gaussian design matrices, where Lasso is known to behave well in the identifiable regime, we show hardness of outputting any good solution in the unidentifiable regime where there are many solutions, assuming the worst-case hardness of standard and well-studied lattice problems.

Continuous LWE is as Hard as LWE & Applications to Learning Gaussian Mixtures

no code implementations6 Apr 2022 Aparna Gupte, Neekon Vafa, Vinod Vaikuntanathan

Under the (conservative) polynomial hardness of LWE, we show hardness of density estimation for $n^{\epsilon}$ Gaussians for any constant $\epsilon > 0$, which improves on Bruna, Regev, Song and Tang (STOC 2021), who show hardness for at least $\sqrt{n}$ Gaussians under polynomial (quantum) hardness assumptions.
