A grammar-compressed ranked tree is represented with a linear space overhead so that a single traversal step, i.e., the move to the parent or the i-th child, can be carried out in constant time. Moreover, we extend our data structure such…
A widely used method for determining the similarity of two labeled trees is to compute a maximum agreement subtree of the two trees. Previous work on this similarity measure is only concerned with the comparison of labeled trees of two…
The entities in directed networks arising from real-world interactions are often naturally organized under some hierarchical structure. Given a directed, weighted, graph with edges and node labels, we introduce ranking problem where the…
In this work, we present randomized compression algorithms for flat rank-structured matrices with shared bases, termed uniform Block Low-Rank (BLR) matrices. Our main contribution is a technique called tagging, which improves upon the…
A string-like compact data structure for unlabelled rooted trees is given using 2n bits.
Decision trees have been a very popular class of predictive models for decades due to their interpretability and good performance on categorical features. However, they are not always robust and tend to overfit the data. Additionally, if…
LRM-Trees are an elegant way to partition a sequence of values into sorted consecutive blocks, and to express the relative position of the first element of each block within a previous block. They were used to encode ordinal trees and to…
We provide an $\Omega(n\log n) $ lower bound and an $O(n^2)$ upper bound for the smallest size of rooted binary trees (a.k.a. phylogenetic tree shapes), which are universal for rooted binary trees with $n$ leaves, i.e., contain all of them…
A previous article shows that any linear height bounded normal proof of a tautology in the Natural Deduction for Minimal implicational logic $M_{\supset}$ is as huge as it is redundant. More precisely, any proof in a family of…
Bayesian phylogenetics typically estimates a posterior distribution, or aspects thereof, using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. These methods integrate over tree space by applying local rearrangements to move a tree through its space as a…
We present a family of encodings for sequence labeling dependency parsing, based on the concept of hierarchical bracketing. We prove that the existing 4-bit projective encoding belongs to this family, but it is suboptimal in the number of…
In a graph G, the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V(G)U E(G) is called the mixed metric dimension of G, and it is denoted by mdim(G). In [12] it was conjectured that for a graph G with…
Tree alignment graphs (TAGs) provide an intuitive data structure for storing phylogenetic trees that exhibits the relationships of the individual input trees and can potentially account for nested taxonomic relationships. This paper…
Given two messages - as linear sequences of letters, it is immediate to determine whether one can be transformed into the other by simple substitution cipher of the letters. On the other hand, if the letters are carried as labels on nodes…
We propose a new succinct representation of labeled trees which represents a tree T using |T|H_k(T) number of bits (plus some smaller order terms), where |T|H_k(T) denotes the k-th order (tree label) entropy, as defined by Ferragina at al.…
In this paper, we study classes of graphs with three types of edges that capture the modified independence structure of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) after marginalisation over unobserved variables and conditioning on selection variables…
Trees with many leaves have applications on broadcasting, which is a method in networks for transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. Internal nodes of a broadcasting tree require more expensive technology, because they have…
The shrinking operation converts a hypergraph into a graph by choosing, from each hyperedge, two endvertices of a corresponding graph edge. A hypertree is a hypergraph which can be shrunk to a tree on the same vertex set. Klimo\v{s}ov\'{a}…
Phylogenetic trees in genetics and biology in general are all binary. We make an attempt to answer one fundamental question: Is such binary branching from the coarsest to the finest scales sustained by data? We convert this question into an…
Recovering underlying Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structures from observational data is highly challenging due to the combinatorial nature of the DAG-constrained optimization problem. Recently, DAG learning has been cast as a continuous…
