We propose an approach to graph sparsification based on the idea of preserving the smallest $k$ eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Graph Laplacian. This is motivated by the fact that small eigenvalues and their associated eigenvectors tend…
The problem of sparsifying a graph or a hypergraph while approximately preserving its cut structure has been extensively studied and has many applications. In a seminal work, Bencz\'ur and Karger (1996) showed that given any $n$-vertex…
We develop a framework for graph sparsification and sketching, based on a new tool, short cycle decomposition -- a decomposition of an unweighted graph into an edge-disjoint collection of short cycles, plus few extra edges. A simple…
Analyzing massive data sets has been one of the key motivations for studying streaming algorithms. In recent years, there has been significant progress in analysing distributions in a streaming setting, but the progress on graph problems…
Graph sparsification is to approximate an arbitrary graph by a sparse graph and is useful in many applications, such as simplification of social networks, least squares problems, numerical solution of symmetric positive definite linear…
We present a nearly-linear time algorithm that produces high-quality sparsifiers of weighted graphs. Given as input a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ and a parameter $\epsilon>0$, we produce a weighted subgraph $H=(V,\tilde{E},\tilde{w})$ of $G$…
Graph sparsification aims to reduce the number of edges of a graph while maintaining its structural properties. In this paper, we propose the first general and effective information-theoretic formulation of graph sparsification, by taking…
In graph sparsification, the goal has almost always been of {global} nature: compress a graph into a smaller subgraph ({sparsifier}) that maintains certain features of the original graph. Algorithms can then run on the sparsifier, which in…
Graph disaggregation is a technique used to address the high cost of computation for power law graphs on parallel processors. The few high-degree vertices are broken into multiple small-degree vertices, in order to allow for more efficient…

Graph compression or sparsification is a basic information-theoretic and computational question. A major open problem in this research area is whether $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate cut-preserving vertex sparsifiers with size close to the…
In this paper, we introduce a variant of spectral sparsification, called probabilistic $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-spectral sparsification. Roughly speaking, it preserves the cut value of any cut $(S,S^{c})$ with an $1\pm\varepsilon$…
Discrepancy theory provides powerful tools for producing higher-quality objects which "beat the union bound" in fundamental settings throughout combinatorics and computer science. However, this quality has often come at the price of more…
We initiate the study of dynamic algorithms for graph sparsification problems and obtain fully dynamic algorithms, allowing both edge insertions and edge deletions, that take polylogarithmic time after each update in the graph. Our three…
Spectral hypergraph sparsification, a natural generalization of the well-studied spectral sparsification notion on graphs, has been the subject of intensive research in recent years. In this work, we consider spectral hypergraph…
In this paper, we present a construction of a `matching sparsifier', that is, a sparse subgraph of the given graph that preserves large matchings approximately and is robust to modifications of the graph. We use this matching sparsifier to…
Graph signals offer a very generic and natural representation for data that lives on networks or irregular structures. The actual data structure is however often unknown a priori but can sometimes be estimated from the knowledge of the…
We study \emph{dynamic} algorithms for maintaining spectral vertex sparsifiers of graphs with respect to a set of terminals $T$ of our choice. Such objects preserve pairwise resistances, solutions to systems of linear equations, and energy…
Graph sparsification is a well-established technique for accelerating graph-based learning algorithms, which uses edge sampling to approximate dense graphs with sparse ones. Because the sparsification error is random and unknown, users must…
