Titel:
Detection of correlations in high dimension


Abstract
We consider the problem of finding information in high-dimensional noisy data. Our goal is to understand the possibilities and limitations of such correlation detection problems. The mathematical analysis reveals some interesting phase transitions. We also discuss an interesting connection with random geometric graphs. 
(The talk is mostly based on joint work with Ery Arias-Castro and Sebasiten Bubeck.)
