When analyzing complex networks a key target is to uncover their modular structure, which means searching for a family of modules, namely node subsets spanning each a subnetwork more densely connected than the average. This work proposes a…
Continuous amortization is a technique for computing the complexity of algorithms, and it was first presented by the author in Burr, Krahmer, & Yap (2009). Continuous amortization can result in simpler and more straight-forward complexity…
We introduce an algorithm to generate (not solve) spin-glass instances with planted solutions of arbitrary size and structure. First, a set of small problem patches with open boundaries is solved either exactly or with a heuristic, and then…
In this note, we describe a simple approach to obtain a differentially private algorithm for k-clustering with nearly the same multiplicative factor as any non-private counterpart at the cost of a large polynomial additive error. The…
In Correlation Clustering, the input is a graph $G=(V,E)$ with weight function $\omega: {V \choose 2}\to Z$ and the task is to partition the vertex set into clusters such that the total weight of edges between clusters and missing edges…
We propose a simple, projection-based algorithm for clustering mixtures of discrete (Bernoulli) distributions. Unlike previous approaches that rely on coordinate-specific ``combinatorial projections,'' our algorithm is rotationally…
Many statistics of roots of random polynomials have been studied in the literature, but not much is known on the concentration aspect. In this note we present a systematic study of this question, aiming towards nearly optimal bounds to some…
We enumerate factorizations of a Coxeter element in a well generated complex reflection group into arbitrary factors, keeping track of the fixed space dimension of each factor. In the infinite families of generalized permutations, our…
In this paper we study the complexity of factorization of polynomials in the free noncommutative ring $\mathbb{F}\langle x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n\rangle$ of polynomials over the field $\mathbb{F}$ and noncommuting variables $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$.…
This paper studies the computational difficulty of clustering problems that are defined directly on a continuous probability density. Rather than working with finite samples, we assume the density is given as a polynomial and ask whether it…
In this paper, we present a local information theoretic approach to explicitly learn probabilistic clustering of a discrete random variable. Our formulation yields a convex maximization problem for which it is NP-hard to find the global…
We outline a novel clustering scheme for simplicial complexes that produces clusters of simplices in a way that is sensitive to the homology of the complex. The method is inspired by, and can be seen as a higher-dimensional version of,…
We introduce and study a family of simplicial complexes associated to an arbitrary finite root system and a nonnegative integer parameter m. For m=1, our construction specializes to the (simplicial) generalized associahedra or,…
We study the asymptotic distribution of roots of Lommel polynomials as polynomials of the order with a variable and purely imaginary argument. The roots are complex and accumulate on certain curves in the complex plane. We prove existence…
The complexity of deciding whether a clustered graph admits a clustered planar drawing is a long-standing open problem in the graph drawing research area. Several research efforts focus on a restricted version of this problem where the…
This paper considers the problem of clustering a partially observed unweighted graph---i.e., one where for some node pairs we know there is an edge between them, for some others we know there is no edge, and for the remaining we do not know…
Hypergraphs provide a powerful framework for modeling complex systems and networks with higher-order interactions beyond simple pairwise relationships. However, graph-based clustering approaches, which focus primarily on pairwise relations,…
Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a hypersurface is an important object with numerous applications. It is known, that it is complicated to obtain it computationally, as a number of open questions and challenges indicate. In this paper we propose…
Graph clustering involves the task of dividing nodes into clusters, so that the edge density is higher within clusters as opposed to across clusters. A natural, classic and popular statistical setting for evaluating solutions to this…
We consider the problem of isolating the real roots of a square-free polynomial with integer coefficients using (variants of) the continued fraction algorithm (CF). We introduce a novel way to compute a lower bound on the positive real…
