In nonadaptive group testing, the main research objective is to design an efficient algorithm to identify a set of up to $t$ positive elements among $n$ samples with as few tests as possible. Disjunct matrices and separable matrices are two…
We develop efficient binary (i.e., 1-bit) and multi-bit coding schemes for estimating the scale parameter of $\alpha$-stable distributions. The work is motivated by the recent work on one scan 1-bit compressed sensing (sparse signal…
In adaptive data analysis, the user makes a sequence of queries on the data, where at each step the choice of query may depend on the results in previous steps. The releases are often randomized in order to reduce overfitting for such…
Stencil computations on low dimensional grids are kernels of many scientific applications including finite difference methods used to solve partial differential equations. On typical modern computer architectures, such stencil computations…
Recent advances have demonstrated that $\mathcal{O}(\log M)$ measurements suffice to predict $M$ properties of arbitrarily large quantum many-body systems. However, these remarkable findings assume that the properties to be predicted are…
Regenerating codes are efficient methods for distributed storage in storage networks, where node failures are common. They guarantee low cost data reconstruction and repair through accessing only a predefined number of arbitrarily chosen…
This paper proposes the capped least squares regression with an adaptive resistance parameter, hence the name, adaptive capped least squares regression. The key observation is, by taking the resistant parameter to be data dependent, the…
A common complaint about adaptive prefix coding is that it is much slower than static prefix coding. Karpinski and Nekrich recently took an important step towards resolving this: they gave an adaptive Shannon coding algorithm that encodes…
We improve the lower bound on worst case trace reconstruction from $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{5/4}}{\sqrt{\log n}}\right)$ to $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{3/2}}{\log^{7} n}\right)$. As a consequence, we improve the lower bound on average case trace…

The JPEG algorithm is a defacto standard for image compression. We investigate whether adaptive mesh refinement can be used to optimize the compression ratio and propose a new adaptive image compression algorithm. We prove that it produces…
We consider the basic problem of learning an unknown partition of $n$ elements into at most $k$ sets using simple queries that reveal information about a small subset of elements. Our starting point is the well-studied pairwise same-set…
The paper presents a systematic study and implementation of a reconfigurable combinatorial multi-operand adder for use in Deep Learning systems. The size of carry changes with the number of operands and hence a reliable algorithm to…
Lower bounds are obtained on the maximum field strength in one or both phases in a body containing two-phases. These bounds only incorporate boundary data that can be obtained from measurements at the surface of the body, and thus may be…
A tight lower bound for required I/O when computing an ordinary matrix-matrix multiplication on a processor with two layers of memory is established. Prior work obtained weaker lower bounds by reasoning about the number of segments needed…
We aim to design strategies for sequential decision making that adjust to the difficulty of the learning problem. We study this question both in the setting of prediction with expert advice, and for more general combinatorial decision…
In the present work, we propose two new variants of fifth order finite difference WENO schemes of adaptive order. We compare our proposed schemes with other variants of WENO schemes with special emphasize on WENO-AO(5,3) scheme [Balsara,…
We study the problem of estimating the size of the maximum matching in the sublinear-time setting. This problem has been extensively studied, with several known upper and lower bounds. A notable result by Behnezhad (FOCS 2021) established a…
The memory system of a modern embedded processor consumes a large fraction of total system energy. We explore a range of different configuration options and show that a reconfigurable design can make better use of the resources available to…
Minimizing the number of patients exposed to potentially harmful drugs in early onco logical trials is a major concern during planning. Adaptive designs account for the inherent uncertainty about the true effect size by determining the…
