Consider large signal-plus-noise data matrices of the form $S + \Sigma^{1/2} X$, where $S$ is a low-rank deterministic signal matrix and the noise covariance matrix $\Sigma$ can be anisotropic. We establish the asymptotic joint distribution of its spiked singular values when the dimensionality and sample size are comparably large and the signals are supercritical under general assumptions concerning the structure of $(S, \Sigma)$ and the distribution of the random noise $X$. It turns out that the asymptotic distributions exhibit nonuniversality in the sense of dependence on the distributions of the entries of $X$, which contrasts with what has previously been established for the spiked sample eigenvalues in the context of spiked population models. Such a result yields the asymptotic distribution of the sample spiked eigenvalues associated with mixture models. We also explore the application of these findings in detecting mean heterogeneity of data matrices.

Motivated by the problem of compressing point sets into as few bits as possible while maintaining information about approximate distances between points, we construct random nonlinear maps $\varphi_\ell$ that compress point sets in the following way. For a point set $S$, the map $\varphi_\ell:\mathbb{R}^d \to N^{-1/2}\{-1,1\}^N$ has the property that storing $\varphi_\ell(S)$ (a \emph{sketch} of $S$) allows one to report pairwise squared distances between points in $S$ up to some multiplicative $(1\pm \epsilon)$ error with high probability as long as the minimum distance is not too small compared to $\epsilon$. The maps $\varphi_\ell$ are the $\ell$-fold composition of a certain type of random feature mapping. Moreover, we determine how large $N$ needs to be as a function of $\epsilon$ and other parameters of the point set. Compared to existing techniques, our maps offer several advantages. The standard method for compressing point sets by random mappings relies on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma which implies that if a set of $n$ points is mapped by a Gaussian random matrix to $\mathbb{R}^k$ with $k =\Theta(\epsilon^{-2}\log n)$, then pairwise distances between points are preserved up to a multiplicative $(1\pm \epsilon)$ error with high probability. The main advantage of our maps $\varphi_\ell$ over random linear maps is that ours map point sets directly into the discrete cube $N^{-1/2}\{-1,1\}^N$ and so there is no additional step needed to convert the sketch to bits. For some range of parameters, our maps $\varphi_\ell$ produce sketches which require fewer bits of storage space.
Concerning the recent notion of circular chromatic number of signed graphs, for each given integer $k$ we introduce two signed bipartite graphs, each on $2k^2-k+1$ vertices, having shortest negative cycle of length $2k$, and the circular chromatic number 4. Each of the construction can be viewed as a bipartite analogue of the generalized Mycielski graphs on odd cycles, $M_{\ell}(C_{2k+1})$. In the course of proving our result, we also obtain a simple proof of the fact that $M_{\ell}(C_{2k+1})$ and some similar quadrangulations of the projective plane have circular chromatic number 4. These proofs have the advantage that they illuminate, in an elementary manner, the strong relation between algebraic topology and graph coloring problems.
We study the problem of adaptive variable selection in a Gaussian white noise model of intensity $\varepsilon$ under certain sparsity and regularity conditions on an unknown regression function $f$. The $d$-variate regression function $f$ is assumed to be a sum of functions each depending on a smaller number $k$ of variables ($1 \leq k \leq d$). These functions are unknown to us and only few of them are nonzero. We assume that $d=d_\varepsilon \to \infty$ as $\varepsilon \to 0$ and consider the cases when $k$ is fixed and when $k=k_\varepsilon \to \infty$, $k=o(d)$ as $\varepsilon \to 0$. In this work, we introduce an adaptive selection procedure that, under some model assumptions, identifies exactly all nonzero $k$-variate components of $f$. In addition, we establish conditions under which exact identification of the nonzero components is impossible. These conditions ensure that the proposed selection procedure is the best possible in the asymptotically minimax sense with respect to the Hamming risk.
Traditional dataset retrieval systems index on metadata information rather than on the data values. Thus relying primarily on manual annotations and high-quality metadata, processes known to be labour-intensive and challenging to automate. We propose a method to support metadata enrichment with topic annotations of column headers using three Large Language Models (LLMs): ChatGPT-3.5, GoogleBard and GoogleGemini. We investigate the LLMs ability to classify column headers based on domain-specific topics from a controlled vocabulary. We evaluate our approach by assessing the internal consistency of the LLMs, the inter-machine alignment, and the human-machine agreement for the topic classification task. Additionally, we investigate the impact of contextual information (i.e. dataset description) on the classification outcomes. Our results suggest that ChatGPT and GoogleGemini outperform GoogleBard for internal consistency as well as LLM-human-alignment. Interestingly, we found that context had no impact on the LLMs performances. This work proposes a novel approach that leverages LLMs for text classification using a controlled topic vocabulary, which has the potential to facilitate automated metadata enrichment, thereby enhancing dataset retrieval and the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) of research data on the Web.
The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a promising candidate that brings practical benefits from quantum computing. However, the required bandwidth in/out of a cryostat is a limiting factor to scale cryogenic quantum computers. We propose a tailored counter-based module with single flux quantum circuits in 4-K stage which precomputes a part of VQE calculation and reduces the amount of inter-temperature communication. The evaluation shows that our system reduces the required bandwidth by 97%, and with this drastic reduction, total power consumption is reduced by 93% in the case where 277 VQE programs are executed in parallel on a 10000-qubit machine.
Source conditions are a key tool in regularisation theory that are needed to derive error estimates and convergence rates for ill-posed inverse problems. In this paper, we provide a recipe to practically compute source condition elements as the solution of convex minimisation problems that can be solved with first-order algorithms. We demonstrate the validity of our approach by testing it on two inverse problem case studies in machine learning and image processing: sparse coefficient estimation of a polynomial via LASSO regression and recovering an image from a subset of the coefficients of its discrete Fourier transform. We further demonstrate that the proposed approach can easily be modified to solve the machine learning task of identifying the optimal sampling pattern in the Fourier domain for a given image and variational regularisation method, which has applications in the context of sparsity promoting reconstruction from magnetic resonance imaging data.
Generative machine learning models have shown notable success in identifying architectures for metamaterials - materials whose behavior is determined primarily by their internal organization - that match specific target properties. By examining kirigami metamaterials, in which dependencies between cuts yield complex design restrictions, we demonstrate that this perceived success in the employment of generative models for metamaterials might be akin to survivorship bias. We assess the performance of the four most popular generative models - the Variational Autoencoder (VAE), the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), the Wasserstein GAN (WGAN), and the Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) - in generating kirigami structures. Prohibiting cut intersections can prevent the identification of an appropriate similarity measure for kirigami metamaterials, significantly impacting the effectiveness of VAE and WGAN, which rely on the Euclidean distance - a metric shown to be unsuitable for considered geometries. This imposes significant limitations on employing modern generative models for the creation of diverse metamaterials.
The low-rank quaternion matrix approximation has been successfully applied in many applications involving signal processing and color image processing. However, the cost of quaternion models for generating low-rank quaternion matrix approximation is sometimes considerable due to the computation of the quaternion singular value decomposition (QSVD), which limits their application to real large-scale data. To address this deficiency, an efficient quaternion matrix CUR (QMCUR) method for low-rank approximation is suggested, which provides significant acceleration in color image processing. We first explore the QMCUR approximation method, which uses actual columns and rows of the given quaternion matrix, instead of the costly QSVD. Additionally, two different sampling strategies are used to sample the above-selected columns and rows. Then, the perturbation analysis is performed on the QMCUR approximation of noisy versions of low-rank quaternion matrices. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real data further reveal the superiority of the proposed algorithm compared with other algorithms for getting low-rank approximation, in terms of both efficiency and accuracy.
A simple, recently observed generalization of the classical Singleton bound to list-decoding asserts that rate $R$ codes are not list-decodable using list-size $L$ beyond an error fraction $\frac{L}{L+1} (1-R)$ (the Singleton bound being the case of $L=1$, i.e., unique decoding). We prove that in order to approach this bound for any fixed $L >1$, one needs exponential alphabets. Specifically, for every $L>1$ and $R\in(0,1)$, if a rate $R$ code can be list-of-$L$ decoded up to error fraction $\frac{L}{L+1} (1-R -\varepsilon)$, then its alphabet must have size at least $\exp(\Omega_{L,R}(1/\varepsilon))$. This is in sharp contrast to the situation for unique decoding where certain families of rate $R$ algebraic-geometry (AG) codes over an alphabet of size $O(1/\varepsilon^2)$ are unique-decodable up to error fraction $(1-R-\varepsilon)/2$. Our bounds hold even for subconstant $\varepsilon\ge 1/n$, implying that any code exactly achieving the $L$-th generalized Singleton bound requires alphabet size $2^{\Omega_{L,R}(n)}$. Previously this was only known only for $L=2$ under the additional assumptions that the code is both linear and MDS. Our lower bound is tight up to constant factors in the exponent -- with high probability random codes (or, as shown recently, even random linear codes) over $\exp(O_L(1/\varepsilon))$-sized alphabets, can be list-of-$L$ decoded up to error fraction $\frac{L}{L+1} (1-R -\varepsilon)$.
Tactile sensing in mobile robots remains under-explored, mainly due to challenges related to sensor integration and the complexities of distributed sensing. In this work, we present a tactile sensing architecture for mobile robots based on wheel-mounted acoustic waveguides. Our sensor architecture enables tactile sensing along the entire circumference of a wheel with a single active component: an off-the-shelf acoustic rangefinder. We present findings showing that our sensor, mounted on the wheel of a mobile robot, is capable of discriminating between different terrains, detecting and classifying obstacles with different geometries, and performing collision detection via contact localization. We also present a comparison between our sensor and sensors traditionally used in mobile robots, and point to the potential for sensor fusion approaches that leverage the unique capabilities of our tactile sensing architecture. Our findings demonstrate that autonomous mobile robots can further leverage our sensor architecture for diverse mapping tasks requiring knowledge of terrain material, surface topology, and underlying structure.
