We study the parameterized complexity of the following fundamental geometric problems with respect to the dimension $d$: i) Given $n$ points in $\Rd$, compute their minimum enclosing cylinder. ii) Given two $n$-point sets in $\Rd$, decide…
In recent years, the capacitated center problems have attracted a lot of research interest. Given a set of vertices $V$, we want to find a subset of vertices $S$, called centers, such that the maximum cluster radius is minimized. Moreover,…
The disjointness problem - where Alice and Bob are given two subsets of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ and they have to check if their sets intersect - is a central problem in the world of communication complexity. While both deterministic and…
Many canonical machine learning problems boil down to a convex optimization problem with a finite sum structure. However, whereas much progress has been made in developing faster algorithms for this setting, the inherent limitations of…
High-dimensional datasets often exhibit low-dimensional geometric structures, as suggested by the manifold hypothesis, which implies that data lie on a smooth manifold embedded in a higher-dimensional ambient space. While this insight…
Constant-dimension codes with the maximum possible minimum distance have been studied under the name of partial spreads in Finite Geometry for several decades. Not surprisingly, for this subclass typically the sharpest bounds on the maximal…
A coreset is a point set containing information about geometric properties of a larger point set. A series of previous works show that in many machine learning problems, especially in clustering problems, coreset could be very useful to…
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a linear functional subject to uncertain linear and bilinear matrix inequalities, which depend in a possibly nonlinear way on a vector of uncertain parameters. Motivated by recent results…
We investigate the asymptotic rates of length-$n$ binary codes with VC-dimension at most $dn$ and minimum distance at least $\delta n$. Two upper bounds are obtained, one as a simple corollary of a result by Haussler and the other via a…
We study the generalization of deep learning models in relation to the convex hull of their training sets. A trained image classifier basically partitions its domain via decision boundaries and assigns a class to each of those partitions.…
Optimization problems, generalized equations, and the multitude of other variational problems invariably lead to the analysis of sets and set-valued mappings as well as their approximations. We review the central concept of set-convergence…
We study asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the sizes of constant dimension codes with respect to the subspace or injection distance, which is used in random linear network coding. In this context we review known upper bounds and show…
The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum size of a set of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by the distances to the vertices of that set. Our aim is to upper-bound the order $n$ of a graph in terms of its diameter…
We investigate the VC-dimension of the perceptron and simple two-layer networks like the committee- and the parity-machine with weights restricted to values $\pm1$. For binary inputs, the VC-dimension is determined by atypical pattern sets,…
For a graph $G$, a subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ is called a \emph{resolving set} if for any two vertices $u,v \in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $w \in S$ such that $d(w,u) \neq d(w,v)$. The {\sc Metric Dimension} problem takes as input a graph…
Vertical decomposition is a widely used general technique for decomposing the cells of arrangements of semi-algebraic sets in ${{\mathbb R}}^d$ into constant-complexity subcells. In this paper, we settle in the affirmative a few…
The design, analysis and application of a volumetric convolutional neural network (VCNN) are studied in this work. Although many CNNs have been proposed in the literature, their design is empirical. In the design of the VCNN, we propose a…
In this work, we initiate a thorough study of parameterized graph optimization problems in the distributed setting. In a parameterized problem, an algorithm decides whether a solution of size bounded by a \emph{parameter} $k$ exists and if…
We establish a relationship between the online mistake-bound model of learning and resource-bounded dimension. This connection is combined with the Winnow algorithm to obtain new results about the density of hard sets under adaptive…
We investigate the descriptional complexity of operations on semilinear sets. Roughly speaking, a semilinear set is the finite union of linear sets, which are built by constant and period vectors. The interesting parameters of a semilinear…
