Abstract (arXiv)

We study potential presence of statistical-computational gaps (SCG) in symmetric binary perceptrons (SBP) via a parametric utilization of fully lifted random duality theory (fl-RDT) [96]. A structural change from decreasingly to arbitrarily ordered c-sequence (a key fl-RDT parametric component) is observed on the second lifting level and associated with satisfiability (αc) -- algorithmic (αa) constraints density threshold change thereby suggesting a potential existence of a nonzero computational gap SCG=αc-αa. The second level estimate is shown to match the theoretical αc whereas the rrightarrow ∞ level one is proposed to correspond to αa. For example, for the canonical SBP (kappa=1 margin) we obtain αc≈ 1.8159 on the second and αa≈ 1.6021 (with converging tendency towards ~ 1.59 range) on the seventh level. Our propositions remarkably well concur with recent literature: (i) in [20] local entropy replica approach predicts αLE≈ 1.58 as the onset of clustering defragmentation (presumed driving force behind locally improving algorithms failures); (ii) in αrightarrow 0 regime we obtain on the third lifting level kappa≈ 1.2385√fracαa-logleft ( αa right ) which qualitatively matches overlap gap property (OGP) based predictions of [43] and identically matches local entropy based predictions of [24]; (iii) c-sequence ordering change phenomenology mirrors the one observed in asymmetric binary perceptron (ABP) in [98] and the negative Hopfield model in [100]; and (iv) as in [98,100], we here design a CLuP based algorithm whose practical performance closely matches proposed theoretical predictions.
