We study the maximum $k$-set coverage problem in the following distributed setting. A collection of sets $S_1,\ldots,S_m$ over a universe $[n]$ is partitioned across $p$ machines and the goal is to find $k$ sets whose union covers the most…
We propose a new procedure for testing whether two networks are edge-correlated through some latent vertex correspondence. The test statistic is based on counting the co-occurrences of signed trees for a family of non-isomorphic trees. When…
When testing for the mean vector in a high dimensional setting, it is generally assumed that the observations are independently and identically distributed. However if the data are dependent, the existing test procedures fail to preserve…

We introduce and study the communication complexity of computing the inner product of two vectors, where the input is restricted w.r.t. a norm $N$ on the space $\mathbb{R}^n$. Here, Alice and Bob hold two vectors $v,u$ such that $\|v\|_N\le…

In distributed optimization and machine learning, multiple nodes coordinate to solve large problems. To do this, the nodes need to compress important algorithm information to bits so that it can be communicated over a digital channel. The…

We consider a private discrete distribution estimation problem with one-bit communication constraint. The privacy constraints are imposed with respect to the local differential privacy and the maximal leakage. The estimation error is…
