The Ideal Proof System (IPS) of Grochow & Pitassi (FOCS 2014, J. ACM, 2018) is an algebraic proof system that uses algebraic circuits to refute the solvability of unsatisfiable systems of polynomial equations. One potential drawback of IPS…
Various applications involve assigning discrete label values to a collection of objects based on some pairwise noisy data. Due to the discrete---and hence nonconvex---structure of the problem, computing the optimal assignment (e.g.~maximum…
Given two linear codes, the Linear Equivalence Problem (LEP) asks to find (if it exists) a linear isometry between them; as a special case, we have the Permutation Equivalence Problem (PEP), in which isometries must be permutations. LEP and…
