In this work, we establish the first separation between computation with bounded and unbounded space, for problems with short outputs (i.e., working memory can be exponentially larger than output size), both in the classical and the quantum…
A conforming partition of a rectilinear n-gon P (possibly with holes) is a partition of P into rectangles without using Steiner points (i.e., all corners of all rectangles must lie on the boundary of P). The stabbing number of such a…
We advocate the Loop-of-stencil-reduce pattern as a means of simplifying the implementation of data-parallel programs on heterogeneous multi-core platforms. Loop-of-stencil-reduce is general enough to subsume map, reduce, map-reduce,…
General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) are used in most of the top systems in HPC. The total capacity of scratchpad memory has increased by more than 40 times in the last decade. However, existing optimizations for stencil…
We lower bound the complexity of finding $\epsilon$-stationary points (with gradient norm at most $\epsilon$) using stochastic first-order methods. In a well-studied model where algorithms access smooth, potentially non-convex functions…

Sorting extremely large datasets is a frequently occuring task in practice. These datasets are usually much larger than the computer's main memory; thus external memory sorting algorithms, first introduced by Aggarwal and Vitter (1988), are…

In the $\ell_p$-subspace sketch problem, we are given an $n\times d$ matrix $A$ with $n>d$, and asked to build a small memory data structure $Q(A,\epsilon)$ so that, for any query vector $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$, we can output a number in…
Sketching is widely used in randomized linear algebra for low-rank matrix approximation, column subset selection, and many other problems, and it has gained significant traction in machine learning applications. However, sketching large…

The goal of ordinal embedding is to represent items as points in a low-dimensional Euclidean space given a set of constraints in the form of distance comparisons like "item $i$ is closer to item $j$ than item $k$". Ordinal constraints like…
The $L_{\infty}$ star discrepancy is a measure for the regularity of a finite set of points taken from $[0,1)^d$. Low discrepancy point sets are highly relevant for Quasi-Monte Carlo methods in numerical integration and several other…
