High-Dimensional Interpolators Still Vulnerable to Heavy Tails

The author points out that while high-dimensional interpolators are often "harmless" on average, they remain vulnerable due to heavy-tailed risks, and the associated large deviation rates are slower.

This is a research advancement in random matrices, with the core conclusion being that one cannot solely look at average performance; high-dimensional systems can still expose significant risks during extreme events. The author also notes that the LDP (large deviation principle) for random matrices remains an active and open research area.
