Recently, Brandt, Maus and Uitto [PODC'19] showed that, in a restricted setting, the dependency of the complexity of the distributed Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) on the chosen LLL criterion exhibits a sharp threshold phenomenon: They proved…
Moser and Tardos (2010) gave an algorithmic proof of the lopsided Lov\'asz local lemma (LLL) in the variable framework, where each of the undesirable events is assumed to depend on a subset of a collection of independent random variables.…
The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma is a very powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics, that is often used to prove existence of combinatorial objects satisfying certain constraints. Moser and Tardos have shown that the LLL gives more than just…
Moser & Tardos have developed a powerful algorithmic approach (henceforth "MT") to the Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL); the basic operation done in MT and its variants is a search for "bad" events in a current configuration. In the initial stage…
While there has been significant progress on algorithmic aspects of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL) in recent years, a noteworthy exception is when the LLL is used in the context of random permutations. The breakthrough algorithm of Moser…
The Lovasz Local Lemma due to Erdos and Lovasz is a powerful tool in proving the existence of rare events. We present an extension of this lemma, which works well when the event to be shown to exist is a conjunction of individual events,…
Many randomized algorithms can be derandomized efficiently using either the method of conditional expectations or probability spaces with low (almost-) independence. A series of papers, beginning with Luby (1993) and continuing with Berger…
We develop a framework for the rigorous analysis of focused stochastic local search algorithms. These are algorithms that search a state space by repeatedly selecting some constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a…
Sampling a random permutation with restricted positions, or equivalently approximating the permanent of a 0-1 matrix, is a fundamental problem in computer science, with several notable results achieved over the years. However, existing…
We propose a new algorithmic framework, called "partial rejection sampling", to draw samples exactly from a product distribution, conditioned on none of a number of bad events occurring. Our framework builds (perhaps surprising) new…
This paper proves that a wide class of local search algorithms extend as is to the fully dynamic setting with an adaptive adversary, achieving an amortized $\tilde{O}(1)$ number of local-search steps per update. A breakthrough by Moser…

We consider the task of designing Local Computation Algorithms (LCA) for applications of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL). LCA is a class of sublinear algorithms proposed by Rubinfeld et al.~\cite{Ronitt} that have received a lot of…
The Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) is a very powerful tool in combinatorics and probability theory to show the possibility of avoiding all bad events under some weakly dependent conditions. In a seminal paper, Ambainis, Kempe, and Sattath (JACM…
Our previous paper applied a lopsided version of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma that allows negative dependency graphs to the space of random injections from an $m$-element set to an $n$-element set. Equivalently, the same story can be told about…
We give a simple combinatorial algorithm to deterministically approximately count the number of satisfying assignments of general constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Suppose that the CSP has domain size $q=O(1)$, each constraint…
The constructive Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma has become a central tool for designing efficient distributed algorithms. While it has been extensively studied in the classic LOCAL model that uses unlimited bandwidth, much less is known in the…
We present a poly $\log \log n$ time randomized CONGEST algorithm for a natural class of Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) instances on constant degree graphs. This implies, among other things, that there are no LCL problems with randomized…
Complementary-Label Learning (CLL) is a weakly-supervised learning problem that aims to learn a multi-class classifier from only complementary labels, which indicate a class to which an instance does not belong. Existing approaches mainly…
