Query: Thresholds of descending algorithms in inference problems   We review recent works on analyzing the dynamics of gradient-based algorithms
in a prototypical statistical inference problem. Using methods and insights
from the physics of glassy systems, these works showed how to understand
quantitatively and qualitatively the performance of gradient-based algorithms.
Here we review the key results and their interpretation in non-technical terms
accessible to a wide audience of physicists in the context of related works.
