We show improved fine-grained hardness of two key lattice problems in the $\ell_p$ norm: Bounded Distance Decoding to within an $\alpha$ factor of the minimum distance ($\mathrm{BDD}_{p, \alpha}$) and the (decisional) $\gamma$-approximate…
We consider counterfactual explanations for private support vector machines (SVM), where the privacy mechanism that publicly releases the classifier guarantees differential privacy. While privacy preservation is essential when dealing with…
We investigate the complexity of several fundamental polynomial-time solvable problems on graphs and on matrices, when the given instance has low treewidth; in the case of matrices, we consider the treewidth of the graph formed by non-zero…
Given a graph, the densest subgraph problem asks for a set of vertices such that the average degree among these vertices is maximized. Densest subgraph has numerous applications in learning, e.g., community detection in social networks,…
We study the approximability of two related problems on graphs with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges: $n$-Pairs Shortest Paths ($n$-PSP), where the goal is to find a shortest path between $O(n)$ prespecified pairs, and All Node Shortest Cycles…
Constrained non-convex optimization is fundamentally challenging, as global solutions are generally intractable and constraint qualifications may not hold. However, in many applications, including safe policy optimization in control and…
We study locality-sensitive hash methods for the nearest neighbor problem for the angular distance, focusing on the approach of first projecting down onto a low-dimensional subspace, and then partitioning the projected vectors according to…

We present a quantum attack on ML-KEM and related 2-power cyclotomic lattice schemes. Combining with Parts I-III, we provide an algorithm and verify the resulting approximation factor satisfies $\gamma\le 21 < q/2=1664.5$ for ML-KEM-1024,…
Quadratic programming is a ubiquitous prototype in convex programming. Many machine learning problems can be formulated as quadratic programming, including the famous Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Linear and kernel SVMs have been among…

Finding cliques in random graphs and the closely related "planted" clique variant, where a clique of size k is planted in a random G(n, 1/2) graph, have been the focus of substantial study in algorithm design. Despite much effort, the best…
In this work, we construct the first locally-correctable codes (LCCs), and locally-testable codes (LTCs) with constant rate, constant relative distance, and sub-polynomial query complexity. Specifically, we show that there exist binary LCCs…
The all-pairs shortest distances (APSD) with differential privacy (DP) problem takes as input an undirected, weighted graph $G = (V,E, \mathbf{w})$ and outputs a private estimate of the shortest distances in $G$ between all pairs of…
The shortest secure path (routing) problem in communication networks has to deal with multiple attack layers e.g., man-in-the-middle, eavesdropping, packet injection, packet insertion, etc. Consider different probabilities for each such…

We study the Subset Balancing problem: given $x \in \mathbb{Z}^n$ and a coefficient set $C \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, find a nonzero vector $c \in C^n$ such that $c\cdot x = 0$. The standard meet-in-the-middle algorithm runs in time…
We consider two basic algorithmic problems concerning tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices. The first problem asks to decide, given two tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices $(B_1, \dots, B_m)$ and $(C_1, \dots, C_m)$, whether there exists an…
