Query: Minimax Lower Bounds for Noisy Matrix Completion Under Sparse Factor
  Models   This paper examines fundamental error characteristics for a general class of
matrix completion problems, where the matrix of interest is a product of two a
priori unknown matrices, one of which is sparse, and the observations are
noisy. Our main contributions come in the form of minimax lower bounds for the
expected per-element squared error for this problem under under several common
noise models. Specifically, we analyze scenarios where the corruptions are
characterized by additive Gaussian noise or additive heavier-tailed (Laplace)
noise, Poisson-distributed observations, and highly-quantized (e.g., one-bit)
observations, as instances of our general result. Our results establish that
the error bounds derived in (Soni et al., 2016) for complexity-regularized
maximum likelihood estimators achieve, up to multiplicative constants and
logarithmic factors, the minimax error rates in each of these noise scenarios,
provided that the nominal number of observations is large enough, and the
sparse factor has (on an average) at least one non-zero per column.
