Channels with synchronization errors, exhibiting deletion and insertion errors, find practical applications in DNA storage, data reconstruction, and various other domains. Presence of insertions and deletions render the channel with memory,…
Given a sequence $s_1$ of $n$ letters drawn i.i.d. from an alphabet of size $\sigma$ and a mutated substring $s_2$ of length $m < n$, we often want to recover the mutation history that generated $s_2$ from $s_1$. Modern sequence aligners…
We consider the problem of reconstructing two signals from the autocorrelation and cross-correlation measurements. This inverse problem is a fundamental one in signal processing, and arises in many applications, including phase retrieval…

Inferring probabilistic networks from data is a notoriously difficult task. Under various goodness-of-fit measures, finding an optimal network is NP-hard, even if restricted to polytrees of bounded in-degree. Polynomial-time algorithms are…

Pruning well-trained neural networks is effective to achieve a promising accuracy-efficiency trade-off in computer vision regimes. However, most of existing pruning algorithms only focus on the classification task defined on the source…
We introduce the Random Subsequence Model, a spin glass model on pairs of random strings $(X,Y) \in \{0,1\}^N \times \{0,1\}^M$ whose partition function counts subsequence embeddings of $Y$ into $X$. We study two variants: the null model,…
We analyze how an action of a qubit channel (map) can be estimated from the measured data that are incomplete or even inconsistent. That is, we consider situations when measurement statistics is insufficient to determine consistent…
The goal of a denoising algorithm is to reconstruct a signal from its noise-corrupted observations. Perfect reconstruction is seldom possible and performance is measured under a given fidelity criterion. In a recent work, the authors…
