Krauth–Mézard conjecture for the capacity of the binary perceptron

About 2 years old · traced to

Let A∈RαN×NA\in\mathbb{R}^{\alpha N\times N} have independent standard Gaussian entries, and consider the set of σ∈{−1,+1}N\sigma\in\{-1,+1\}^N satisfying Aσ>0A\sigma>0 entrywise. The largest solvable value of α\alpha is the capacity, and denote by αc\alpha_c the constant around which this capacity concentrates. Krauth–Mézard conjecture. The capacity of the binary perceptron concentrates around an explicit constant αc≈.833\alpha_c\approx.833. This is a long-standing open problem; a matching rigorous lower bound is known, while the corresponding upper bound remains difficult.
