We show a number of fine-grained hardness results for the Closest Vector Problem in the $\ell_p$ norm ($\mathrm{CVP}_p$), and its approximate and non-uniform variants. First, we show that $\mathrm{CVP}_p$ cannot be solved in…
We show that, assuming NP $\not\subseteq$ $\cap_{\delta > 0}$DTIME$\left(\exp{n^\delta}\right)$, the shortest vector problem for lattices of rank $n$ in any finite $\ell_p$ norm is hard to approximate within a factor of $2^{(\log n)^{1 -…

Lattice-based cryptography is one of the leading proposals for post-quantum cryptography. The Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) is arguably the most important problem for the cryptanalysis of lattice-based cryptography, and many lattice-based…
In 1982, Lagarias showed that solving the approximate Shortest Vector Problem also solves the problem of finding good simultaneous Diophantine approximations. Here we provide a deterministic, dimension-preserving reduction in the reverse…
Finding sparse vectors is a fundamental problem that arises in several contexts including codes, subspaces, and lattices. In this work, we prove strong inapproximability results for all these variants using a novel approach that even…
Many polytopes arising in polyhedral combinatorics are linear projections of higher-dimensional polytopes with significantly fewer facets. Such lifts may yield compressed representations of polytopes, which are typically used to construct…
Probabilistic circuits (PCs) enable exact and tractable inference but employ data independent mixture weights that limit their ability to capture local geometry of the data manifold. We propose Voronoi tessellations (VT) as a natural way to…

In 2018, the longest vector problem (LVP) and the closest vector problem (CVP) in $p$-adic lattices were introduced. These problems are closely linked to the orthogonalization process. In this paper, we first prove that every $p$-adic…
Solving continuous Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) is challenging, particularly for high-dimensional continuous action spaces. To alleviate this difficulty, we propose a new sampling-based online POMDP solver, called…
In this paper we consider the problem of finding a vector that can be written as a nonnegative integer linear combination of given 0-1 vectors, the generators, such that the l_1-distance between this vector and a given target vector is…
Let ${\bf K} = (K_1, ..., K_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of convex compact subsets in the Euclidean space $\R^n$, and let $V(\cdot)$ be the Euclidean volume in $\R^n$. The Minkowski polynomial $V_{{\bf K}}$ is defined as $V_{{\bf K}}(\lambda_1, ...…
Several issues in machine learning and inverse problems require to generate discrete data, as if sampled from a model probability distribution. A common way to do so relies on the construction of a uniform probability distribution over a…
We study black-box vector optimization with Gaussian process bandits, where there is an incomplete order relation on objective vectors described by a polyhedral convex cone. Existing black-box vector optimization approaches either suffer…
In this paper, we begin the exploration of vertex-ordering problems through the lens of exponential-time approximation algorithms. In particular, we ask the following question: Can we simultaneously beat the running times of the fastest…
