Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), 2023.

Instructions

Set which parameter to sweep through with vary, number of runs to repeat the experiment with num_itr, list of dimensions $d$ with d_list, list of epsilons $\varepsilon$ with eps_list when calling rrsc_comparison() in main.py.

To reproduce the plots in the paper, run run.ipynb.
