Notes on computational-to-statistical gaps: predictions using statistical physics
In these notes we describe heuristics to predict computational-tostatistical gaps in certain statistical problems. These are regimes in which the underlying statistical problem is information-theoretically possible although no efficient algorithm exists, rendering the problem essentially unsolvable for large instances. The methods we describe here are based on mature, albeit non-rigorous, tools...

متن کاملFour lectures on computational statistical physics
1 Lectures given at the 2008 Les Houches Summer School " Exact methods in low-dimensional physics and quantum computing ". Preface In my lectures at the Les Houches Summer School 2008, I discussed central concepts of computational statistical physics, which I felt would be accessible to the very cross-cultural audience at the school. I started with a discussion of sampling, which lies at the he...
متن کاملStatistical Physics into Computational Complexity
NP-complete” problems are at the core of many computational tasks of practical interest, which means that the cost of solution will grow exponentially with problem size in the worst case (provided P NP). Although heuristics can be quite effective on such problems in most cases, there is a growing appreciation that these problems contain phase transitions, and at the phase boundaries exponential...
متن کاملNotes 4 : Statistical Physics Reformulation of Coding
We reformulate the coding problem of lecture 1 in the language of statistical physics. As we will see the MAP decoder can be interpreted as a general spin system. Later in the course, we will come to the formulation of the Belief Propagation decoder and its relation to the MAP. The Ising model can be generalized in various directions. Here we point out the structure of the most general models, ...
