It is widely believed that the physics of diffraction imposes certain fundamental limits on the resolution of an optical system. In this work we study the diffraction limit as a statistical inverse problem in increasingly more realistic mathematical...

Linear dynamical systems are the canonical model for time series data. They have wide-ranging applications and there is a vast literature on learning their parameters from input-output sequences. Moreover they have received renewed interest because...

In this talk, I will present the following two connections between private optimization and statistical physics, both via the problem of approximating a given covariance matrix with a low-rank matrix:

1. An efficient algorithm to privately compute a low...
