Bypassing the Noisy Parity Barrier: Learning Higher-Order Markov Random Fields from Dynamics

Conference Proceedings of the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing · June 15, 2025 We consider the problem of learning graphical models, also known as Markov random fields (MRFs) from temporally correlated samples. As in many traditional statistical settings, fundamental results in the area all assume independent samples from the distrib ... Full text Cite

A Unified Approach to Learning Ising Models: Beyond Independence and Bounded Width

Conference Proceedings of the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing · June 10, 2024 We revisit the well-studied problem of efficiently learning the underlying structure and parameters of an Ising model from data. Current algorithmic approaches achieve essentially optimal sample complexity when samples are generated i.i.d. from the station ... Full text Cite

Bounds on the covariance matrix of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model

Journal Article Electronic Communications in Probability · January 1, 2024 We consider the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with no external field and inverse temperature β < 1 and prove that the expected operator norm of the covariance matrix of the Gibbs measure is bounded by a constant depending only on β. This answers an open qu ... Full text Cite
