HPDS recovery computational hardness conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let G∼Gd(N,κ,q1,q2)G\sim\mathcal{G}_d(N,\kappa,q_1,q_2) be a hypergraphic planted dense subgraph with q1>q2q_1>q_2, adjacency tensor \mathbfcalA{\mathbfcal A}, and recovery error EHPDSR\mathcal{E}_{{\rm HPDS}_R}. HPDS recovery conjecture. If

lim inf⁡N→∞log⁡Nκ≥12\liminf_{N\to\infty}\log_N\kappa\geq\frac12

and

lim sup⁡N→∞log⁡N(κd−1(q1−q2)q2(1−q2))<d2−12,\limsup_{N\to\infty}\log_N\left(\frac{\kappa^{d-1}(q_1-q_2)}{\sqrt{q_2(1-q_2)}}\right)<\frac d2-\frac12,

then every randomized polynomial-time algorithm {ϕN}\{\phi_N\} satisfies

lim inf⁡N→∞EHPDSR(ϕN(\mathbfcalA))>12.\liminf_{N\to\infty}\mathcal{E}_{{\rm HPDS}_R}(\phi_N({\mathbfcal A}))>\frac12.

This conjecture says that the signal-to-noise requirement sufficient for the paper’s Aggregated-SVD recovery guarantee is also necessary for computationally efficient recovery in the stated regime. The source does not provide a resolution.
