We introduce a new class VPSPACE of families of polynomials. Roughly speaking, a family of polynomials is in VPSPACE if its coefficients can be computed in polynomial space. Our main theorem is that if (uniform, constant-free) VPSPACE…

We consider the problem of enumerating all minimal transversals (also called minimal hitting sets) of a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$. An equivalent formulation of this problem known as the \emph{transversal hypergraph} problem (or…

We investigate machine models similar to Turing machines that are augmented by the operations of a first-order structure $\mathcal{R}$, and we show that under weak conditions on $\mathcal{R}$, the complexity class $\text{NP}(\mathcal{R})$…

In 1984, Valiant [ 7 ] introduced the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning framework for boolean function classes. Blumer et al. [ 2] extended this model in 1989 by introducing the VC dimension as a tool to characterize the…

We show that deciding whether a sparse univariate polynomial has a p-adic rational root can be done in NP for most inputs. We also prove a polynomial-time upper bound for trinomials with suitably generic p-adic Newton polygon. We thus…

${ NP}$-complete problem "Hamiltonian cycle"\ for graph $G=(V,E)$ is extended to the "Hamiltonian Complement of the Graph"\ problem of finding the minimal cardinality set $H$ containing additional edges so that graph $G=(V,E\cup H)$ is…

This work studies the average complexity of solving structured polynomial systems that are characterized by a low evaluation cost, as opposed to the dense random model previously used. Firstly, we design a continuation algorithm that…

We introduce the Convolutional Conditional Neural Process (ConvCNP), a new member of the Neural Process family that models translation equivariance in the data. Translation equivariance is an important inductive bias for many learning…

Using neural networks to solve variational problems, and other scientific machine learning tasks, has been limited by a lack of consistency and an inability to exactly integrate expressions involving neural network architectures. We address…

Comparator circuit model was originally introduced by Mayr and Subramanian (1992) (and further studied by Cook, Filmus and Le (2012)) to capture problems which are not known to be P-complete but still not known to admit efficient parallel…

The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension provides a notion of complexity for systems of sets. If the VC dimension is small, then knowing this can drastically simplify fundamental computational tasks such as classification, range counting, and…

Existing deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) require a fixed-size (e.g., 224x224) input image. This requirement is "artificial" and may reduce the recognition accuracy for the images or sub-images of an arbitrary size/scale. In this…
