We study the problem of learning a node-labeled tree given independent traces from an appropriately defined deletion channel. This problem, tree trace reconstruction, generalizes string trace reconstruction, which corresponds to the tree…
In the trace reconstruction problem, one seeks to reconstruct a binary string $s$ from a collection of traces, each of which is obtained by passing $s$ through a deletion channel. It is known that $\exp(\tilde O(n^{1/5}))$ traces suffice to…
In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing trees from traces in the tree edit distance model. Previous work by Davies et al. (2019) analyzed special cases of reconstructing labeled trees. In this work, we significantly expand…
In the beautifully simple-to-state problem of trace reconstruction, the goal is to reconstruct an unknown binary string $x$ given random "traces" of $x$ where each trace is generated by deleting each coordinate of $x$ independently with…
The deletion channel takes as input a bit string $\mathbf{x} \in \{0,1\}^n$, and deletes each bit independently with probability $q$, yielding a shorter string. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover an unknown string $\mathbf{x}$…
The insertion-deletion channel takes as input a bit string ${\bf x}\in\{0,1\}^{n}$, and outputs a string where bits have been deleted and inserted independently at random. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover $\bf x$ from many…
Trace reconstruction is the problem of learning an unknown string $x$ from independent traces of $x$, where traces are generated by independently deleting each bit of $x$ with some deletion probability $q$. In this paper, we initiate the…
In the trace reconstruction problem, the goal is to reconstruct an unknown string $x$ of length $n$ from multiple traces obtained by passing $x$ through the deletion channel. In the relaxed problem of $approximate$ trace reconstruction, the…
The goal of the trace reconstruction problem is to recover a string $x\in\{0,1\}^n$ given many independent {\em traces} of $x$, where a trace is a subsequence obtained from deleting bits of $x$ independently with some given probability…
We introduce the following natural generalization of trace reconstruction, parameterized by a deletion probability $\delta \in (0,1)$ and length $n$: There is a length $n$ string of probabilities, $S=p_1,\ldots,p_n,$ and each "trace" is…
In the trace reconstruction problem our goal is to learn an unknown string $x\in \{0,1\}^n$ given independent traces of $x$. A trace is obtained by independently deleting each bit of $x$ with some probability $\delta$ and concatenating the…
In the usual trace reconstruction problem, the goal is to exactly reconstruct an unknown string of length $n$ after it passes through a deletion channel many times independently, producing a set of traces (i.e., random subsequences of the…
A \emph{trace} of a sequence is generated by deleting each bit of the sequence independently with a fixed probability. The well-studied \emph{trace reconstruction} problem asks how many traces are required to reconstruct an unknown binary…
Thin spanning trees lie at the intersection of graph theory, approximation algorithms, and combinatorial optimization. They are central to the long-standing \emph{thin tree conjecture}, which asks whether every $k$-edge-connected graph…
The rooted tree is an important data structure, and the subtree size, height, and depth are naturally defined attributes of every node. We consider the problem of the existence of a k-ary tree given a list of attribute sequences. We give…
Several real-world and abstract structures and systems are characterized by marked hierarchy to the point of being expressed as trees. Because the study of these entities often involves sampling (or discovering) the tree nodes in a specific…
The well-known trace reconstruction problem is the problem of inferring an unknown source string $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ from independent "traces", i.e. copies of $x$ that have been corrupted by a $\delta$-deletion channel which independently…
The population recovery problem asks one to recover an unknown distribution over $n$-bit strings given access to independent noisy samples of strings drawn from the distribution. Recently, Ban et al. [BCF+19] studied the problem where the…
In this paper we study detection and reconstruction of planted structures in Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs. Motivated by a problem of communication security, we focus on planted structures that consist in a tree graph. For planted line…
In the trace reconstruction problem an unknown string ${\bf x}=(x_0,\dots,x_{n-1})\in\{0,1,...,m-1\}^n$ is observed through the deletion channel, which deletes each $x_k$ with a certain probability, yielding a contracted string…
