We show hardness of improperly learning halfspaces in the agnostic model, both in the distribution-independent as well as the distribution-specific setting, based on the assumption that worst-case lattice problems, such as GapSVP or SIVP,…
We show that the Learning with Errors (LWE) problem is classically at least as hard as standard worst-case lattice problems, even with polynomial modulus. Previously this was only known under quantum reductions. Our techniques capture the…
The Longest Common Increasing Subsequence problem (LCIS) is a natural variant of the celebrated Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem. For LCIS, as well as for LCS, there is an $O(n^2)$-time algorithm and a SETH-based conditional lower…
We introduce a new class of algorithms for finding a short vector in lattices defined by codes of co-dimension $k$ over $\mathbb{Z}_P^d$, where $P$ is prime. The co-dimension $1$ case is solved by exploiting the packing properties of the…

We give new rounding schemes for SDP relaxations for the problems of maximizing cubic polynomials over the unit sphere and the $n$-dimensional hypercube. In both cases, the resulting algorithms yield a $O(\sqrt{n/k})$ multiplicative…
Convex relaxations based on different hierarchies of linear/semi-definite programs have been used recently to devise approximation algorithms for various optimization problems. The approximation guarantee of these algorithms improves with…
Given a large data matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, we consider the problem of determining whether its entries are i.i.d. with some known marginal distribution $A_{ij}\sim P_0$, or instead $A$ contains a principal submatrix $A_{{\sf…

Recent work [BGS17,ABGS19] has shown SETH hardness of CVP in the $\ell_p$ norm for any $p$ that is not an even integer. This result was shown by giving a Karp reduction from $k$-SAT on $n$ variables to CVP on a lattice of rank $n$. In this…

In this paper, we present a deterministic algorithm for the closest vector problem for all l_p-norms, 1 < p < \infty, and all polyhedral norms, especially for the l_1-norm and the l_{\infty}-norm. We achieve our results by introducing a new…
The problem of finding short vectors in Euclidean lattices is a central hard problem in complexity theory. The case of module lattices (i.e., lattices which are also modules over a number ring) is of particular interest for cryptography and…
