Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have recently enabled a popular class of algorithms for collaborative filtering (CF). Nevertheless, the theoretical underpinnings of their empirical successes remain elusive. In this paper, we endeavor to…
The following source coding problem was introduced by Birk and Kol: a sender holds a word $x\in\{0,1\}^n$, and wishes to broadcast a codeword to $n$ receivers, $R_1,...,R_n$. The receiver $R_i$ is interested in $x_i$, and has prior…
We show the existence of length-constrained expander decomposition in directed graphs and undirected vertex-capacitated graphs. Previously, its existence was shown only in undirected edge-capacitated graphs [Haeupler-R\"acke-Ghaffari, STOC…

Visualizing a graph $G$ in the plane nicely, for example, without crossings, is unfortunately not always possible. To address this problem, Masa\v{r}\'ik and Hlin\v{e}n\'y [GD 2023] recently asked for each edge of $G$ to be drawn without…
We introduce graphcodes, a novel multi-scale summary of the topological properties of a dataset that is based on the well-established theory of persistent homology. Graphcodes handle datasets that are filtered along two real-valued scale…
The multicast capacity of a directed network is closely related to the $s$-$t$ maximum flow, which is equal to the $s$-$t$ minimum cut capacity due to the max-flow min-cut theorem. If the topology of a network (or link capacities) is…
It is known that the minimum broadcast rate of a linear index code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is equal to the $minrank_q$ of the underlying digraph. In [3] it is proved that for $\mathbb{F}_2$ and any positive integer $k$, $minrank_q(G)\leq k$ iff…
