In this paper, we study the number of measurements required to recover a sparse signal in ${\mathbb C}^M$ with $L$ non-zero coefficients from compressed samples in the presence of noise. For a number of different recovery criteria, we prove that $O(L)$ (an asymptotically linear multiple of $L$) measurements are necessary and sufficient if $L$ grows linearly as a function of $M$. This improves on the existing literature that is mostly focused on variants of a specific recovery algorithm based on convex programming, for which $O(L\log(M-L))$ measurements are required. We also show that $O(L\log(M-L))$ measurements are required in the sublinear regime ($L = o(M)$).
This paper introduces a novel framework and corresponding methods for sampling and reconstruction of sparse signals in shift-invariant (SI) spaces. We reinterpret the random demodulator, a system that acquires sparse bandlimited signals, as a system for the acquisition of linear combinations of the samples in the SI setting with the box function as the sampling kernel. The sparsity assumption is exploited by the compressive sensing (CS) paradigm for a recovery of the SI samples from a reduced set of measurements. The SI samples are subsequently filtered by a discrete-time correction filter to …
Recent results from compressive sampling (CS) have demonstrated that accurate reconstruction of sparse signals often requires far fewer samples than suggested by the classical Nyquist--Shannon sampling theorem. Typically, signal reconstruction errors are measured in the $\ell^2$ norm and the signal is assumed to be sparse, compressible or having a prior distribution. Our spectrum estimation by sparse optimization (SpESO) method uses prior information about isotropic homogeneous turbulent flows with power law energy spectra and applies the methods of CS to 1-D and 2-D turbulence signals to esti…
With the advent of ubiquitous computing there are two design parameters of wireless communication devices that become very important power: efficiency and production cost. Compressive sensing enables the receiver in such devices to sample below the Shannon-Nyquist sampling rate, which may lead to a decrease in the two design parameters. This paper investigates the use of Compressive Sensing (CS) in a general Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) receiver. We show that when using spread spectrum codes in the signal domain, the CS measurement matrix may be simplified. This measurement scheme, nam…
We propose to reduce the original well-posed problem of compressive sensing to weighted-MAX-SAT. Compressive sensing is a novel randomized data acquisition approach that linearly samples sparse or compressible signals at a rate much below the Nyquist-Shannon sampling rate. The original problem of compressive sensing in sparse recovery is NP-hard; therefore, in addition to restrictions for the uniqueness of the sparse solution, the coding matrix has also to satisfy additional stringent constraints -usually the restricted isometry property (RIP)- so we can handle it by its convex or nonconvex re…
Compressive sensing is a novel approach that linearly samples sparse or compressible signals at a rate much below the Nyquist-Shannon sampling rate and outperforms traditional signal processing techniques in acquiring and reconstructing such signals. Compressive sensing with matrix uncertainty is an extension of the standard compressive sensing problem that appears in various applications including but not limited to cognitive radio sensing, calibration of the antenna, and deconvolution. The original problem of compressive sensing is NP-hard so the traditional techniques, such as convex and no…
In this paper, the theoretical analysis of compressive sensing via random filter, firstly outlined by J. Romberg [compressive sensing by random convolution, submitted to SIAM Journal on Imaging Science on July 9, 2008], has been refined or generalized to the design of general random filter used for compressive sensing. This universal CS measurement consists of two parts: one is from the convolution of unknown signal with a random waveform followed by random time-domain subsampling; the other is from the directly time-domain subsampling of the unknown signal. It has been shown that the proposed…
We discuss why MMSE estimation arises in lattice-based schemes for approaching the capacity of linear Gaussian channels, and comment on its properties.
We study side-channel attacks for the Shannon cipher system. To pose side channel-attacks to the Shannon cipher system, we regard them as a signal estimation via encoded data from two distributed sensors. This can be formulated as the one helper source coding problem posed and investigated by Ahlswede, Körner(1975), and Wyner(1975). We further investigate the posed problem to derive new secrecy bounds. Our results are derived by a coupling of the result Watanabe and Oohama(2012) obtained on bounded storage evasdropper with the exponential strong converse theorem Oohama(2015) established for th…
Compressive sensing (CS) is an alternative to Shannon/Nyquist sampling for the acquisition of sparse or compressible signals that can be well approximated by just K << N elements from an N-dimensional basis. Instead of taking periodic samples, CS measures inner products with M < N random vectors and then recovers the signal via a sparsity-seeking optimization or greedy algorithm. Standard CS dictates that robust signal recovery is possible from M = O(K log(N/K)) measurements. It is possible to substantially decrease M without sacrificing robustness by leveraging more realistic signal models th…
We consider the recovery of an underlying signal x \in C^m based on projection measurements of the form y=Mx+w, where y \in C^l and w is measurement noise; we are interested in the case l < m. It is assumed that the signal model p(x) is known, and w CN(w;0,S_w), for known S_W. The objective is to design a projection matrix M \in C^(l x m) to maximize key information-theoretic quantities with operational significance, including the mutual information between the signal and the projections I(x;y) or the Renyi entropy of the projections h_a(y) (Shannon entropy is a special case). By capitalizing …
The Shannon upper bound places a limit on the error-free information transmission rate (capacity) of a noisy channel. It has stood for over sixty years, and underlies both theoretical and practical work in the telecommunications industry. This upper bound arises from the Shannon-Hartley law, which has two parameters: the available bandwidth and the signal-to-noise power ratio. However, aside from these explicit parameters, the Shannon-Hartley law also rests on certain assumptions. One of these is that the channel is linear: recent work has shown that nonlinear channels are not limited by the S…
We consider the storage-retrieval rate tradeoff in private information retrieval (PIR) systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Our focus is mostly on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random codebook generation and the binning technique is proposed. This coding scheme reveals a hidden connection between PIR and the classic multiple description source coding problem. We first show that when the retrieval rate is kept optimal, the proposed non-linear scheme can achieve better performance over any linear scheme. Moreover, a non-trivial storage-ret…
Compressive sensing (CS) is a data acquisition technique that measures sparse or compressible signals at a sampling rate lower than their Nyquist rate. Results show that sparse signals can be reconstructed using greedy algorithms, often requiring prior knowledge such as the signal sparsity or the noise level. As a substitute to prior knowledge, cross validation (CV), a statistical method that examines whether a model overfits its data, has been proposed to determine the stopping condition of greedy algorithms. This paper first analyzes cross validation in a general compressive sensing framewor…
We introduce q-ary compressive sensing, an extension of 1-bit compressive sensing. We propose a novel sensing mechanism and a corresponding recovery procedure. The recovery properties of the proposed approach are analyzed both theoretically and empirically. Results in 1-bit compressive sensing are recovered as a special case. Our theoretical results suggest a tradeoff between the quantization parameter q, and the number of measurements m in the control of the error of the resulting recovery algorithm, as well its robustness to noise.
Compressive Sensing, as an emerging technique in signal processing is reviewed in this paper together with its common applications. As an alternative to the traditional signal sampling, Compressive Sensing allows a new acquisition strategy with significantly reduced number of samples needed for accurate signal reconstruction. The basic ideas and motivation behind this approach are provided in the theoretical part of the paper. The commonly used algorithms for missing data reconstruction are presented. The Compressive Sensing applications have gained significant attention leading to an intensiv…
Distributed compressive sensing is a framework considering jointly sparsity within signal ensembles along with multiple measurement vectors (MMVs). The current theoretical bound of performance for MMVs, however, is derived to be the same with that for single MV (SMV) because no assumption about signal ensembles is made. In this work, we propose a new concept of inducing the factor called "Euclidean distances between signals" for the performance analysis of MMVs. The novelty is that the size of signal ensembles will be taken into consideration in our analysis to theoretically show that MMVs ind…

Exploration tasks are embedded in many robotics applications, such as search and rescue and space exploration. Information-based exploration algorithms aim to find the most informative trajectories by maximizing an information-theoretic metric, such as the mutual information between the map and potential future measurements. Unfortunately, most existing information-based exploration algorithms are plagued by the computational difficulty of evaluating the Shannon mutual information metric. In this paper, we consider the fundamental problem of evaluating Shannon mutual information between the ma…
An analysis of the influence of missing samples in signals exhibiting sparsity in the Hermite transform domain is provided. Based on the statistical properties derived for the Hermite coefficients of randomly undersampled signal, the probability of success in detection of signal components support is determined. Based on the probabilistic analysis, a threshold for the detection of signal components is provided. It is a crucial step in the definition of a simple non-iterative algorithm for compressive sensing signal reconstruction. The derived theoretical concepts are proved on several examples…
In this paper, we present a novel yet simple homotopy proximal mapping algorithm for compressive sensing. The algorithm adopts a simple proximal mapping of the $\ell_1$ norm at each iteration and gradually reduces the regularization parameter for the $\ell_1$ norm. We prove a global linear convergence of the proposed homotopy proximal mapping (HPM) algorithm for solving compressive sensing under three different settings (i) sparse signal recovery under noiseless measurements, (ii) sparse signal recovery under noisy measurements, and (iii) nearly-sparse signal recovery under sub-gaussian noisy …
Structurally random matrices (SRMs) are a practical alternative to fully random matrices (FRMs) when generating compressive sensing measurements because of their computational efficiency and their universality with respect to the sparsifing basis. In this work we derive the statistical distribution of compressive measurements generated by various types of SRMs, as a function of the signal properties. We show that under a wide range of conditions, that distribution is a mixture of asymptotically multi-variate normal components. We point out the implications for quantization and coding of the me…
Compressive Sensing (CS) exploits the surprising fact that the information contained in a sparse signal can be preserved in a small number of compressive, often random linear measurements of that signal. Strong theoretical guarantees have been established concerning the embedding of a sparse signal family under a random measurement operator and on the accuracy to which sparse signals can be recovered from noisy compressive measurements. In this paper, we address similar questions in the context of a different modeling framework. Instead of sparse models, we focus on the broad class of manifold…
We show that to lower the sampling rate in a spread spectrum communication system using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), compressive signal processing can be applied to demodulate the received signal. This may lead to a decrease in the power consumption or the manufacturing price of wireless receivers using spread spectrum technology. The main novelty of this paper is the discovery that in spread spectrum systems it is possible to apply compressive sensing with a much simpler hardware architecture than in other systems, making the implementation both simpler and more energy efficient. O…
In this paper, we propose \textit{coded compressive sensing} that recovers an $n$-dimensional integer sparse signal vector from a noisy and quantized measurement vector whose dimension $m$ is far-fewer than $n$. The core idea of coded compressive sensing is to construct a linear sensing matrix whose columns consist of lattice codes. We present a two-stage decoding method named \textit{compute-and-recover} to detect the sparse signal from the noisy and quantized measurements. In the first stage, we transform such measurements into noiseless finite-field measurements using the linearity of latti…
Explicitly using the block structure of the unknown signal can achieve better reconstruction performance in compressive sensing. Theoretically, an unknown signal with block structure can be accurately recovered from a few number of under-determined linear measurements provided that it is sufficiently block sparse. From the practical point of view, a severe concern is that the block sparse level appears often unknown. In this paper, we introduce a soft measure of block sparsity $k_α(\mathbf{x})=\left(\lVert\mathbf{x}\rVert_{2,α}/\lVert\mathbf{x}\rVert_{2,1}\right)^{\fracα{1-α}}$ with $α\in[0,\i…
The recently proposed modified-compressive sensing (modified-CS), which utilizes the partially known support as prior knowledge, significantly improves the performance of recovering sparse signals. However, modified-CS depends heavily on the reliability of the known support. An important problem, which must be studied further, is the recoverability of modified-CS when the known support contains a number of errors. In this letter, we analyze the recoverability of modified-CS in a stochastic framework. A sufficient and necessary condition is established for exact recovery of a sparse signal. Uti…
Shannon channel capacity of an additive white Gaussian noise channel is the highest reliable transmission bit rate (RTBR) with arbitrary small error probability. However, the authors find that the concept is correct only when the channel input and output is treated as a single signal-stream. Hence, this work reveals a possibility for increasing the RTBR further by transmitting two independent signal-streams in parallel manner. The gain is obtained by separating the two signals at the receiver without any inter-steam interference. For doing so, we borrow the QPSK constellation to layer the two …
We advocate an optimization procedure for variable density sampling in the context of compressed sensing. In this perspective, we introduce a minimization problem for the coherence between the sparsity and sensing bases, whose solution provides an optimized sampling profile. This minimization problem is solved with the use of convex optimization algorithms. We also propose a refinement of our technique when prior information is available on the signal support in the sparsity basis. The effectiveness of the method is confirmed by numerical experiments. Our results also provide a theoretical und…
Compressive sensing (CS) has recently emerged as a framework for efficiently capturing signals that are sparse or compressible in an appropriate basis. While often motivated as an alternative to Nyquist-rate sampling, there remains a gap between the discrete, finite-dimensional CS framework and the problem of acquiring a continuous-time signal. In this paper, we attempt to bridge this gap by exploiting the Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequences (DPSS's), a collection of functions that trace back to the seminal work by Slepian, Landau, and Pollack on the effects of time-limiting and bandlimiting…
We introduce a "one shot" random access procedure where users can send a message without a priori synchronizing with the network. In this procedure a common overloaded control channel is used to jointly detect sparse user activity and sparse channel profiles. The detected information is subsequently used to demodulate the data in dedicated frequency slots. We analyze the system theoretically and provide a link between achievable rates and standard compressing sensing estimates in terms of explicit expressions and scaling laws. Finally, we support our findings with simulations in an LTE-A-like …
Quadrature sampling has been widely applied in coherent radar systems to extract in-phase and quadrature (I and Q) components in the received radar signal. However, the sampling is inefficient because the received signal contains only a small number of significant target signals. This paper incorporates the compressive sampling (CS) theory into the design of the quadrature sampling system, and develops a quadrature compressive sampling (QuadCS) system to acquire the I and Q components with low sampling rate. The QuadCS system first randomly projects the received signal into a compressive bandp…
We provide a simple physical interpretation, in the context of the second law of thermodynamics, to the information inequality (a.k.a. the Gibbs' inequality, which is also equivalent to the log-sum inequality), asserting that the relative entropy between two probability distributions cannot be negative. Since this inequality stands at the basis of the data processing theorem (DPT), and the DPT in turn is at the heart of most, if not all, proofs of converse theorems in Shannon theory, it is observed that conceptually, the roots of fundamental limits of Information Theory can actually be attribu…
Multiple measurement vector (MMV) problem addresses the identification of unknown input vectors that share common sparse support. The MMV problems had been traditionally addressed either by sensor array signal processing or compressive sensing. However, recent breakthrough in this area such as compressive MUSIC (CS-MUSIC) or subspace-augumented MUSIC (SA-MUSIC) optimally combines the compressive sensing (CS) and array signal processing such that $k-r$ supports are first found by CS and the remaining $r$ supports are determined by generalized MUSIC criterion, where $k$ and $r$ denote the sparsi…
We take an information theoretic perspective on a classical sparse-sampling noisy linear model and present an analytical expression for the mutual information, which plays central role in a variety of communications/processing problems. Such an expression was addressed previously either by bounds, by simulations and by the (non-rigorous) replica method. The expression of the mutual information is based on techniques used in [1], addressing the minimum mean square error (MMSE) analysis. Using these expressions, we study specifically a variety of sparse linear communications models which include…
In the compressive phase retrieval problem, or phaseless compressed sensing, or compressed sensing from intensity only measurements, the goal is to reconstruct a sparse or approximately $k$-sparse vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ given access to $y= |Φx|$, where $|v|$ denotes the vector obtained from taking the absolute value of $v\in\mathbb{R}^n$ coordinate-wise. In this paper we present sublinear-time algorithms for different variants of the compressive phase retrieval problem which are akin to the variants considered for the classical compressive sensing problem in theoretical computer science. …
This paper investigates the recovery of a spectrally sparse signal from its partially revealed noisy entries within the framework of spectral compressive sensing. Nonconvex optimization approaches have recently been proposed based on low-rank Hankel matrix completion and projected gradient descent (PGD). The PGD however involves unknown tuning parameters and its theoretical analysis is available only in the absence of noise. In this paper, we propose a hyperparameter-free, vanilla gradient descent (VGD) algorithm and prove that the VGD enables robust recovery of an $N$-dimensional $K$-spectral…
In this paper, we tackle the compressive phase retrieval problem in the presence of noise. The noisy compressive phase retrieval problem is to recover a $K$-sparse complex signal $s \in \mathbb{C}^n$, from a set of $m$ noisy quadratic measurements: $ y_i=| a_i^H s |^2+w_i$, where $a_i^H\in\mathbb{C}^n$ is the $i$th row of the measurement matrix $A\in\mathbb{C}^{m\times n}$, and $w_i$ is the additive noise to the $i$th measurement. We consider the regime where $K=βn^δ$, with constants $β>0$ and $δ\in(0,1)$. We use the architecture of PhaseCode algorithm, and robustify it using two schemes: the …
Compressed sensing is by now well-established as an effective tool for extracting sparsely distributed information, where sparsity is a discrete concept, referring to the number of dominant nonzero signal components in some basis for the signal space. In this paper, we establish a framework for estimation of continuous-valued parameters based on compressive measurements on a signal corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). While standard compressed sensing based on naive discretization has been shown to suffer from performance loss due to basis mismatch, we demonstrate that this is no…
In this paper, the design of universal compressive sensing filter based on normal filters including the lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and bandstop filters with different cutoff frequencies (or bandwidth) has been developed to enable signal acquisition with sub-Nyquist sampling. Moreover, to control flexibly the size and the coherence of the compressive sensing filter, as an example, the microstrip filter based on defected ground structure (DGS) has been employed to realize the compressive sensing filter. Of course, the compressive sensing filter also can be constructed along the identical idea …
We explore the practical costs and benefits of CS for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks. Firstly, we review several fast and practical techniques for energy detection without full reconstruction and provide theoretical guarantees. We also define practical metrics to measure the performance of these techniques. Secondly, we perform comprehensive experiments comparing the techniques on real signals captured over the air. Our results show that we can significantly compressively acquire the signal while still accurately determining spectral occupancy.
Distributed Compressive Sensing (DCS) improves the signal recovery performance of multi signal ensembles by exploiting both intra- and inter-signal correlation and sparsity structure. However, the existing DCS was proposed for a very limited ensemble of signals that has single common information \cite{Baron:2009vd}. In this paper, we propose a generalized DCS (GDCS) which can improve sparse signal detection performance given arbitrary types of common information which are classified into not just full common information but also a variety of partial common information. The theoretical bound on…
Compressive sensing is a signal acquisition framework based on the revelation that a small collection of linear projections of a sparse signal contains enough information for stable recovery. In this paper we introduce a new theory for distributed compressive sensing (DCS) that enables new distributed coding algorithms for multi-signal ensembles that exploit both intra- and inter-signal correlation structures. The DCS theory rests on a new concept that we term the joint sparsity of a signal ensemble. Our theoretical contribution is to characterize the fundamental performance limits of DCS reco…
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems are critical for monitoring aging infrastructure (such as buildings or bridges) in a cost-effective manner. Such systems typically involve collections of battery-operated wireless sensors that sample vibration data over time. After the data is transmitted to a central node, modal analysis can be used to detect damage in the structure. In this paper, we propose and study three frameworks for Compressive Sensing (CS) in SHM systems; these methods are intended to minimize power consumption by allowing the data to be sampled and/or transmitted more effici…
Quantized compressive sensing (QCS) deals with the problem of representing compressive signal measurements with finite precision representation, i.e., a mandatory process in any practical sensor design. To characterize the signal reconstruction quality in this framework, most of the existing theoretical analyses lie heavily on the quantization of sub-Gaussian random projections (e.g., Gaussian or Bernoulli). We show here that a simple uniform scalar quantizer is compatible with a large class of random sensing matrices known to respect, with high probability, the restricted isometry property (R…
Compressive sensing (CS) has attracted significant attention in parameter estimation tasks, where parametric dictionaries (PDs) collect signal observations for a sampling of the parameter space and yield sparse representations for signals of interest when the sampling is dense. While this sampling also leads to high dictionary coherence, one can leverage structured sparsity models to prevent highly coherent dictionary elements from appearing simultaneously in the recovered signal. However, the resulting approaches depend heavily on the careful setting of the maximum allowable coherence; furthe…
We study the localization of a cluster of activated vertices in a graph, from adaptively designed compressive measurements. We propose a hierarchical partitioning of the graph that groups the activated vertices into few partitions, so that a top-down sensing procedure can identify these partitions, and hence the activations, using few measurements. By exploiting the cluster structure, we are able to provide localization guarantees at weaker signal to noise ratios than in the unstructured setting. We complement this performance guarantee with an information theoretic lower bound, providing a ne…
In this paper, motivated by network inference and tomography applications, we study the problem of compressive sensing for sparse signal vectors over graphs. In particular, we are interested in recovering sparse vectors representing the properties of the edges from a graph. Unlike existing compressive sensing results, the collective additive measurements we are allowed to take must follow connected paths over the underlying graph. For a sufficiently connected graph with $n$ nodes, it is shown that, using $O(k \log(n))$ path measurements, we are able to recover any $k$-sparse link vector (with …
We introduce a binary relation on the finite discrete probability distributions which generalizes notions of majorization that have been studied in quantum information theory. Motivated by questions in thermodynamics, our relation describes the transitions induced by bistochastic maps in the presence of additional auxiliary systems which may become correlated in the process. We show that this relation is completely characterized by Shannon entropy H, which yields an interpretation of H in resource-theoretic terms, and admits a particularly simple proof of a known characterization of H in terms…
We consider the compressive sensing of a sparse or compressible signal ${\bf x} \in {\mathbb R}^M$. We explicitly construct a class of measurement matrices, referred to as the low density frames, and develop decoding algorithms that produce an accurate estimate $\hat{\bf x}$ even in the presence of additive noise. Low density frames are sparse matrices and have small storage requirements. Our decoding algorithms for these frames have $O(M)$ complexity. Simulation results are provided, demonstrating that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art recovery algorithms for numerous ca…
Data compression capability of "Compressed sensing (sampling)" in signal discretization is numerically evaluated and found to be far from the theoretical upper bound defined by signal sparsity. It is shown that, for the cases when ordinary sampling with subsequent data compression is prohibitive, there is at least one more efficient, in terms of data compression capability, and more simple and intuitive alternative to Compressed sensing: random sparse sampling and restoration of image band-limited approximations based on energy compaction capability of transforms. It is also shown that asserti…

The standard approach to compressive sampling considers recovering an unknown deterministic signal with certain known structure, and designing the sub-sampling pattern and recovery algorithm based on the known structure. This approach requires looking for a good representation that reveals the signal structure, and solving a non-smooth convex minimization problem (e.g., basis pursuit). In this paper, another approach is considered: We learn a good sub-sampling pattern based on available training signals, without knowing the signal structure in advance, and reconstruct an accordingly sub-sample…
In transfer learning, training and testing data sets are drawn from different data distributions. The transfer generalization gap is the difference between the population loss on the target data distribution and the training loss. The training data set generally includes data drawn from both source and target distributions. This work presents novel information-theoretic upper bounds on the average transfer generalization gap that capture $(i)$ the domain shift between the target data distribution $P'_Z$ and the source distribution $P_Z$ through a two-parameter family of generalized $(α_1,α_2)$…
This paper studies the problem of estimating the covariance of a collection of vectors using only highly compressed measurements of each vector. An estimator based on back-projections of these compressive samples is proposed and analyzed. A distribution-free analysis shows that by observing just a single linear measurement of each vector, one can consistently estimate the covariance matrix, in both infinity and spectral norm, and this same analysis leads to precise rates of convergence in both norms. Via information-theoretic techniques, lower bounds showing that this estimator is minimax-opti…
We derive fundamental sample complexity bounds for recovering sparse and structured signals for linear and nonlinear observation models including sparse regression, group testing, multivariate regression and problems with missing features. In general, sparse signal processing problems can be characterized in terms of the following Markovian property. We are given a set of $N$ variables $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_N$, and there is an unknown subset of variables $S \subset \{1,\ldots,N\}$ that are relevant for predicting outcomes $Y$. More specifically, when $Y$ is conditioned on $\{X_n\}_{n\in S}$ it is …
It has recently been shown that for compressive sensing, significantly fewer measurements may be required if the sparsity assumption is replaced by the assumption the unknown vector lies near the range of a suitably-chosen generative model. In particular, in (Bora {\em et al.}, 2017) it was shown roughly $O(k\log L)$ random Gaussian measurements suffice for accurate recovery when the generative model is an $L$-Lipschitz function with bounded $k$-dimensional inputs, and $O(kd \log w)$ measurements suffice when the generative model is a $k$-input ReLU network with depth $d$ and width $w$. In thi…
