Finding Skewed Subcubes Under a Distribution
Parikshit Gopalan, Roie Levin, Udi Wieder · 2019-11-18 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

Say that we are given samples from a distribution $ψ$ over an $n$-dimensional space. We expect or desire $ψ$ to behave like a product distribution (or a $k$-wise independent distribution over its marginals for small $k$). We propose the problem of enumerating/list-decoding all large subcubes where the distribution $ψ$ deviates markedly from what we expect; we refer to such subcubes as skewed subcubes. Skewed subcubes are certificates of dependencies between small subsets of variables in $ψ$. We motivate this problem by showing that it arises naturally in the context of algorithmic fairness and anomaly detection. In this work we focus on the special but important case where the space is the Boolean hypercube, and the expected marginals are uniform. We show that the obvious definition of skewed subcubes can lead to intractable list sizes, and propose a better definition of a minimal skewed subcube, which are subcubes whose skew cannot be attributed to a larger subcube that contains it. Our main technical contribution is a list-size bound for this definition and an algorithm to efficiently find all such subcubes. Both the bound and the algorithm rely on Fourier-analytic techniques, especially the powerful hypercontractive inequality. On the lower bounds side, we show that finding skewed subcubes is as hard as the sparse noisy parity problem, and hence our algorithms cannot be improved on substantially without a breakthrough on this problem which is believed to be intractable. Motivated by this, we study alternate models allowing query access to $ψ$ where finding skewed subcubes might be easier.
