Target Counting under Minimal Sensing: Complexity and Approximations
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We consider the problem of counting a set of discrete point targets using a network of sensors under a minimalistic model. ...
, to be followed by more expensive sensing and localization if needed. ...
In this paper, we examine some of these key issues in the context of counting and localizing targets in a physical space under minimal sensing assumptions. ...

An admissible model is such that any less complex model is a worse approximation. ...
It is proved under very general assumptions that, if deterministic models are required then nearly all behaviours require models of nearly maximum complexity. ...

Approximate resilience, monotonicity, and the complexity of agnostic learning
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
This characterization is based on the duality between ℓ_1 approximation by degree-d polynomials and approximate d-resilience that we establish. ...
We show that approximate resilience essentially characterizes the complexity of agnostic learning of a concept class C over the uniform distribution. ...

In particular, we highlight the role of adaptivity when dealing with such strongly nonlinear methods that integrate in a natural way issues of discrete and continuous accuracy. ...
This is the guiding question throughout this article, which reviews recent developments of low-rank approximation methods for problems in high spatial dimensions. ...
For v ∈ H and η > 0, let r(v, η) := min{r : (∃ w ∈ S r : v − w ≤ η)}, which is the minimal complexity parameter for which the best approximation from these sets attains accuracy η. ...

We compare them to well-know complexities such as the box-dimension and the topological entropy. ...
Using this condition we introduce two new quantities F, G, called the 'aperiodic complexities', of the system and establish relations between F, G with the topology and geometry of X. ...
