TL;DR
This paper develops a unified framework for constructing AMP algorithms tailored to rotationally-invariant models by reductions to long-memory OAMP and a recursive orthogonal-centering approach. It derives the RI-AMP and its Onsager terms via free cumulants of the spectral law, and exposes two novel RI-AMP variants: RI-AMP-DF and RI-AMP-MP, with connections to BAMP and GFOM. The framework is applied to spiked models, yielding a flexible, state-evolution-aware methodology that extends beyond GOE assumptions. The work offers practical estimators for free cumulants, a clear path from FOMs to OAMP, and broad generalizations that enhance high-dimensional estimation in rotationally-invariant settings.
Abstract
This paper presents a unified framework for constructing Approximate Message Passing (AMP) algorithms for rotationally-invariant models. By employing a general iterative algorithm template and reducing it to long-memory Orthogonal AMP (OAMP), we systematically derive the correct Onsager terms of AMP algorithms. This approach allows us to rederive an AMP algorithm introduced by Fan and Opper et al., while shedding new light on the role of free cumulants of the spectral law. The free cumulants arise naturally from a recursive centering operation, potentially of independent interest beyond the scope of AMP. To illustrate the flexibility of our framework, we introduce two novel AMP variants and apply them to estimation in spiked models.
