We present an efficient parallel derandomization method for randomized algorithms that rely on concentrations such as the Chernoff bound. This settles a classic problem in parallel derandomization, which dates back to the 1980s. Consider…

Folded sampling replaces clipping in analog-to-digital converters by reducing samples modulo a threshold, thereby avoiding saturation artifacts. We study the reconstruction of bandlimited functions from folded samples and show that, for…
The paper considers the problem of finding a submatrix $X_{\mathcal{S}} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times k}$ in a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$, such that the spectral or Frobenius norm of $X_{\mathcal{S}}^{\dag} X$ is limited, which…

One limitation of the most statistical/machine learning-based variable selection approaches is their inability to control the false selections. A recently introduced framework, model-x knockoffs, provides that to a wide range of models but…
