Markov Chains Achieve Tensor PCA Algorithmic Threshold

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have demonstrated that Averaged Annealed Markov Chains can achieve the algorithmic threshold for Tensor PCA, a problem involving recovering an unknown vector from noisy observations of its tensor power. Previously, local algorithms like Markov chains were thought to be less effective than global methods for this task, requiring a higher signal-to-noise ratio to succeed. This new work shows that Glauber dynamics, when enhanced with annealing and averaging, can perform strong recovery from a random initialization, matching the performance of global algorithms down to the theoretical limit.

    Averaged Annealed Markov Chains Achieve the Algorithmic Threshold for Tensor PCA, Part I: Glauber Dynamics

    arXiv:2610.16705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the tensor principal components analysis (tensor PCA) problem, we are asked to recover an unknown vector in $\{\pm1\}^N$ from a noisy observation of its $k$-th tensor power, for a fixed $k\ge3$. Tensor PCA exhibits a well-studi…
