The convergence speed of machine learning models trained with Federated Learning is significantly affected by heterogeneous data partitions, even more so in a fully decentralized setting without a central server. In this paper, we show that…
We identify a new and important global (or non-binary) constraint. This constraint ensures that the values taken by two vectors of variables, when viewed as multisets, are ordered. This constraint is useful for a number of different…

The study of extremal problems for set mappings has a long history. It was introduced in 1958 by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal, who considered the case of cliques in graphs and hypergraphs. Recently, Caro, Patk\'os, Tuza and Vizer revisited this…
A mixed dominating set is a collection of vertices and edges that dominates all vertices and edges of a graph. We study the complexity of exact and parameterized algorithms for \textsc{Mixed Dominating Set}, resolving some open questions.…

Categorical data are often observed as counts resulting from a fixed number of trials in which each trial consists of making one selection from a prespecified set of categories. The multinomial distribution serves as a standard model for…

Modern deep learning usually treats models as separate artifacts: trained independently, specialized for particular purposes, and replaced when improved versions appear. This thesis studies model merging as an alternative paradigm:…
