Real-world data often comes in compressed form. Analyzing compressed data directly (without decompressing it) can save space and time by orders of magnitude. In this work, we focus on fundamental sequence comparison problems and try to…
Compressive sensing aims to recover a high-dimensional sparse signal from a relatively small number of measurements. In this paper, a novel design of the measurement matrix is proposed. The design is inspired by the construction of…
While language models have exceptional capabilities at text generation, they lack a natural inductive bias for emitting numbers and thus struggle in tasks involving quantitative reasoning, especially arithmetic. One fundamental limitation…
The single-parameter scaling hypothesis relating the average and variance of the logarithm of the conductance is a pillar of the theory of electronic transport. We use a maximum-entropy ansatz to explore the logarithm of the energy density,…

We study the following natural variation on the classical universality problem: given a language $L(M)$ represented by $M$ (e.g., a DFA/RE/NFA/PDA), does there exist an integer $\ell \geq 0$ such that $\Sigma^\ell \subseteq L(M)$? In the…
Lightweight Temporal Compression (LTC) is among the lossy stream compression methods that provide the highest compression rate for the lowest CPU and memory consumption. As such, it is well suited to compress data streams in…
Large language models generate text through probabilistic sampling from high-dimensional distributions, yet how this process reshapes the structural statistical organization of language remains incompletely characterized. Here we show that…

An algorithmic framework, based on the difference of convex functions algorithm (DCA), is proposed for minimizing a class of concave sparse metrics for compressed sensing problems. The resulting algorithm iterates a sequence of $\ell_1$…
Classic similarity measures of strings are longest common subsequence and Levenshtein distance (i.e., the classic edit distance). A classic similarity measure of curves is dynamic time warping. These measures can be computed by simple…
We study approximation algorithms for the following three string measures that are widely used in practice: edit distance (ED), longest common subsequence (LCS), and longest increasing sequence (LIS). All three problems can be solved…
We study the notion of limit sets of cellular automata associated with probability measures (mu-limit sets). This notion was introduced by P. Kurka and A. Maass. It is a refinement of the classical notion of omega-limit sets dealing with…
Sinusoidal parameter estimation is a computationally-intensive task, which can pose problems for real-time implementations. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity iterative method for estimating sinusoidal parameters that is based on…
Indexing highly repetitive strings (i.e., strings with many repetitions) for fast queries has become a central research topic in string processing, because it has a wide variety of applications in bioinformatics and natural language…
We investigate the longest common substring problem for encoded sequences and its asymptotic behaviour. The main result is a strong law of large numbers for a re-scaled version of this quantity, which presents an explicit relation with the…
This paper provides a method to analyze the small-signal L2 gain of control-affine nonlinear systems on compact sets via iterative semi-definite programs. First, a continuous piecewise affine storage function and the corresponding upper…
Least angle regression (LARS) by Efron et al. (2004) is a novel method for constructing the piece-wise linear path of Lasso solutions. For several years, it remained also as the de facto method for computing the Lasso solution before more…
It is believed that, in the limit as the conductor tends to infinity, correlations between the zeros of elliptic curve $L$-functions averaged within families follow the distribution laws of the eigenvalues of random matrices drawn from the…
Many information sources are not just sequences of distinguishable symbols but rather have invariances governed by alternative counting paradigms such as permutations, combinations, and partitions. We consider an entire classification of…
