Spike sorting plays an irreplaceable role in understanding brain codes. Traditional spike sorting technologies perform feature extraction and clustering separately after spikes are well detected. However, it may often cause many additional…
A random search algorithm intended to solve discrete optimization problems is considered. We outline the main components of the algorithm, and then describe it in more detail. We show how the algorithm can be implemented on parallel…

The Kaczmarz algorithm is a simple iterative scheme for solving consistent linear systems. At each step, the method projects the current iterate onto the solution space of a single constraint. Hence, it requires very low cost per iteration…
A new algorithm, Guidesort, for sorting in the uniprocessor variant of the parallel disk model (PDM) of Vitter and Shriver is presented. The algorithm is deterministic and executes a number of (parallel) I/O operations that comes within a…
We present randomized algorithms to compute the sumset (Minkowski sum) of two integer sets, and to multiply two univariate integer polynomials given by sparse representations. Our algorithm for sumset has cost softly linear in the combined…
In this work, we present a method to exponentiate non-sparse indefinite low-rank matrices on a quantum computer. Given an operation for accessing the elements of the matrix, our method allows singular values and associated singular vectors…
The results on Vandermonde-like matrices were introduced as a generalization of polynomial Vandermonde matrices, and the displacement structure of these matrices was used to derive an inversion formula. In this paper we first present a fast…
We consider the Top-$K$ selection problem, which aims to identify the largest $K$ elements in an array. Top-$K$ selection arises in many machine learning algorithms and often becomes a bottleneck on accelerators, which are optimized for…
We first propose a concise singular value decomposition of dual matrices. Then, the randomized version of the decomposition is presented. It can significantly reduce the computational cost while maintaining the similar accuracy. We analyze…
We provide a probabilistic analysis of the output of Quicksort when comparisons can err.
There is no closed form analytical equation or quick method to calculate probabilities based only on the entropy of a signal or process. Except in the cases where there are constraints on the state probabilities, one must typically derive…
Given a subset of size $k$ of a very large universe a randomized way to find this subset could consist of deleting half of the universe and then searching the remaining part. With a probability of $2^{-k}$ one will succeed. By probability…
Modern comparison sorts like quicksort suffer from performance inconsistencies due to suboptimal pivot selection, leading to $(O(N^2))$ worst-case complexity, while in-place merge sort variants face challenges with data movement overhead.…
Factorizing large matrices by QR with column pivoting (QRCP) is substantially more expensive than QR without pivoting, owing to communication costs required for pivoting decisions. In contrast, randomized QRCP (RQRCP) algorithms have proven…
We consider a large family of problems in which an ordering (or, more precisely, a chain of subsets) of a finite set must be chosen to minimize some weighted sum of costs. This family includes variations of Min Sum Set Cover (MSSC), several…
Quick Shift is a popular mode-seeking and clustering algorithm. We present finite sample statistical consistency guarantees for Quick Shift on mode and cluster recovery under mild distributional assumptions. We then apply our results to…

We present a stable mergesort variant, Multiway Powersort, that exploits existing runs and finds nearly-optimal merging orders for k-way merges with negligible overhead. This builds on Powersort (Munro & Wild, ESA2018), which has recently…
Clustering is an essential task to unsupervised learning. It tries to automatically separate instances into coherent subsets. As one of the most well-known clustering algorithms, k-means assigns sample points at the boundary to a unique…
