Several strategies have been developed recently to ensure valid inference after model selection; some of these are easy to compute, while others fare better in terms of inferential power. In this paper, we consider a selective inference…
We study approximation of the embedding $\ell_p^m \rightarrow \ell_{\infty}^m$, $1 \leq p \leq 2$, based on randomized adaptive algorithms that use arbitrary linear functionals as information on a problem instance. We show upper bounds for…
We prove a general result demonstrating the power of Lagrangian relaxation in solving constrained maximization problems with arbitrary objective functions. This yields a unified approach for solving a wide class of {\em subset selection}…
This thesis concerns sequential-access data compression, i.e., by algorithms that read the input one or more times from beginning to end. In one chapter we consider adaptive prefix coding, for which we must read the input character by…
In this paper, a sample-based procedure for obtaining simple and computable approximations of chance-constrained sets is proposed. The procedure allows to control the complexity of the approximating set, by defining families of…
The problem of best subset selection in linear regression is considered with the aim to find a fixed size subset of features that best fits the response. This is particularly challenging when the total available number of features is very…
Knapsack and Partition are two important additive problems whose fine-grained complexities in the $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation setting are not yet settled. In this work, we make progress on both problems by giving improved algorithms. -…
We propose a new $(1+O(\varepsilon))$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^{\frac{(d-1)}{2}})$ running time for computing the diameter of a set of $n$ points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space for a fixed dimension $d$,…
The subset sum problem is known to be an NP-hard problem in the field of computer science with the fastest known approach having a run-time complexity of $O(2^{0.3113n})$. A modified version of this problem is known as the perfect sum…
Given $m$ $d$-dimensional responsors and $n$ $d$-dimensional predictors, sparse regression finds at most $k$ predictors for each responsor for linear approximation, $1\leq k \leq d-1$. The key problem in sparse regression is subset…
We propose a new randomized optimization method for high-dimensional problems which can be seen as a generalization of coordinate descent to random subspaces. We show that an adaptive sampling strategy for the random subspace significantly…
We consider the problem of summarizing a multi set of elements in $\{1, 2, \ldots , n\}$ under the constraint that no element appears more than $\ell$ times. The goal is then to answer \emph{rank} queries --- given $i\in\{1, 2, \ldots ,…
This paper is concerned with the numerical minimization of energy functionals in Hilbert spaces involving convex constraints coinciding with a semi-norm for a subspace. The optimization is realized by alternating minimizations of the…
We address the subset selection problem for matrices, where the goal is to select a subset of $k$ columns from a "short-and-fat" matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$, such that the pseudoinverse of the sampled submatrix has as small…
We study a variant of the median problem for a collection of point sets in high dimensions. This generalizes the geometric median as well as the (probabilistic) smallest enclosing ball (pSEB) problems. Our main objective and motivation is…
Motivated by applications in instance selection, we introduce the star discrepancy subset selection problem, which consists of finding a subset of m out of n points that minimizes the star discrepancy. First, we show that this problem is…
Sparsity finds applications in areas as diverse as statistics, machine learning, and signal processing. Computations over sparse structures are less complex compared to their dense counterparts, and their storage consumes less space. This…
Subset sampling (also known as Poisson sampling), where the decision to include any specific element in the sample is made independently of all others, is a fundamental primitive in data analytics, enabling efficient approximation by…
In this paper we address the problem of using one probability space for estimating parameters and predicting future data when the observed data come from multiple contexts and thus from distinct spaces. We explain that a set-based…
Randomized algorithms for low-rank approximation of quaternion matrices have gained increasing attention in recent years. However, existing methods overlook pass efficiency, the ability to limit the number of passes over the input…
