Robustly Learning Single-Index Models via Alignment Sharpness

no code implementations27 Feb 2024 Nikos Zarifis, Puqian Wang, Ilias Diakonikolas, Jelena Diakonikolas

We give an efficient learning algorithm, achieving a constant factor approximation to the optimal loss, that succeeds under a range of distributions (including log-concave distributions) and a broad class of monotone and Lipschitz link functions.

Information-Computation Tradeoffs for Learning Margin Halfspaces with Random Classification Noise

no code implementations28 Jun 2023 Ilias Diakonikolas, Jelena Diakonikolas, Daniel M. Kane, Puqian Wang, Nikos Zarifis

Our main result is a lower bound for Statistical Query (SQ) algorithms and low-degree polynomial tests suggesting that the quadratic dependence on $1/\epsilon$ in the sample complexity is inherent for computationally efficient algorithms.

Robustly Learning a Single Neuron via Sharpness

no code implementations13 Jun 2023 Puqian Wang, Nikos Zarifis, Ilias Diakonikolas, Jelena Diakonikolas

We study the problem of learning a single neuron with respect to the $L_2^2$-loss in the presence of adversarial label noise.

Potential Function-based Framework for Making the Gradients Small in Convex and Min-Max Optimization

no code implementations28 Jan 2021 Jelena Diakonikolas, Puqian Wang

We introduce a novel potential function-based framework to study the convergence of standard methods for making the gradients small in smooth convex optimization and convex-concave min-max optimization.
