Capacity Threshold for the Ising Perceptron
Brice Huang · 2024
We show that the capacity of the Ising perceptron is with high probability upper bounded by the constant$\alpha_{\star}\approx 0.833$conjectured by Krauth and Mézard, under the condition that an explicit two-variable function$\mathscr{S}_{\star}\left(\lambda_1, \lambda_2\right)$is maximized at (1,0). The earlier work of Ding and Sun [1] proves the matching lower bound subject to a similar numerical condition, and together these results give a conditional proof of the conjecture of Krauth and Mézard,
