Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) has been a challenging problem as only a few training samples are accessible for each novel class in the new sessions. Finetuning the backbone or adjusting the classifier prototypes trained in the…

We study the problem of finding an exact solution to the consensus halving problem. While recent work has shown that the approximate version of this problem is PPA-complete, we show that the exact version is much harder. Specifically,…

Given a strongly inaccessible cardinal $\lambda$, we study the Fra\"iss\'e class of all Boolean algebras of size $<\lambda$, together with regular embeddings. We prove that this is indeed a Fra\"iss\'eclass, and its limit has the same…

Semantic segmentation models classify pixels into a set of known (``in-distribution'') visual classes. When deployed in an open world, the reliability of these models depends on their ability not only to classify in-distribution pixels but…

We consider the general problem of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) on weighted sequences. Weighted sequences are an extension of classical strings, where in each position every letter of the alphabet may occur with some probability.…

In this work, we establish separation theorems for several subsystems of the Ideal Proof System (IPS), an algebraic proof system introduced by Grochow and Pitassi (J. ACM, 2018). Separation theorems are well-studied in the context of…

A language L is low for a relativizable complexity class C, if C$^L$ = C. For the classes #P, GapP, and SpanP the exact low classes of languages are known: Low(#P) = UP $\cap$ coUP, Low(GapP) = SPP, and Low(SpanP) = NP $\cap$ coNP. In this…

We generalize the Szemer\'edi-Trotter incidence theorem, to bound the number of complete \emph{flags} in higher dimensions. Specifically, for each $i=0,1,\ldots,d-1$, we are given a finite set $S_i$ of $i$-flats in $\R^d$ or in $\C^d$, and…
