Monte Carlo integration is a commonly used technique to compute intractable integrals and is typically thought to perform poorly for very high-dimensional integrals. To show that this is not always the case, we examine Monte Carlo…
The Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) lemma is a fundamental result in dimensionality reduction, ensuring that any finite set $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ can be embedded into a lower-dimensional space $\mathbb{R}^k$ while approximately preserving…
Mukherjee (Pattern Recognition Letters, vol. 32, pp. 824-831, 2011) recently introduced a class of distance functions called weighted t-cost distances that generalize m-neighbor, octagonal, and t-cost distances. He proved that weighted…
This paper is dedicated to providing an introduction into multidimensional integer trigonometry. We start with an exposition of integer trigonometry in two dimensions, which was introduced in 2008, and use this to generalise these integer…
In order to avoid the curse of dimensionality, frequently encountered in Big Data analysis, there was a vast development in the field of linear and nonlinear dimension reduction techniques in recent years. These techniques (sometimes…
In monotone classification, the input is a multi-set $P$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, each associated with a hidden label from $\{-1, 1\}$. The goal is to identify a monotone function $h$, which acts as a classifier, mapping from…
Approximating a convex function by a polyhedral function that has a limited number of facets is a fundamental problem with applications in various fields, from mitigating the curse of dimensionality in optimal control to bi-level…
In this paper, we study estimators for geometric optimization problems in the sublinear geometric model. In this model, we have oracle access to a point set with size $n$ in a discrete space $[\Delta]^d$, where queries can be made to an…
We introduce numerical methods for the approximation of the main (global) quantities in Pluripotential Theory as the \emph{extremal plurisubharmonic function} $V_E^*$ of a compact $\mathcal L$-regular set $E\subset \C^n$, its…
We consider the $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate nearest neighbor search problem: given a set $X$ of $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space, build a data structure that, given any query point $y$, finds a point $x \in X$ whose distance to $y$ is…
For any two point sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of size up to $n$, the Chamfer distance from $A$ to $B$ is defined as $\text{CH}(A,B)=\sum_{a \in A} \min_{b \in B} d_X(a,b)$, where $d_X$ is the underlying distance measure (e.g., the…
Advances in computational power and hardware efficiency have enabled tackling increasingly complex, high-dimensional problems. While artificial intelligence (AI) achieves remarkable results, the interpretability of high-dimensional…
The Count-Min Sketch is a widely adopted structure for approximate event counting in large scale processing. In a previous work we improved the original version of the Count-Min-Sketch (CMS) with conservative update using approximate…
I consider the problem of integrating a function $f$ over the $d$-dimensional unit cube. I describe a multilevel Monte Carlo method that estimates the integral with variance at most $\epsilon^{2}$ in $O(d+\ln(d)d_{t}\epsilon^{-2})$ time,…
We discuss a simplified method for computing trace anomalies in d=6 and d<6 dimensions. It is known that in the quantum mechanical approach trace anomalies in d dimensions are given by a (1+d/2)-loop computation in an auxiliary 1d sigma…
Detecting and counting copies of permutation patterns are fundamental algorithmic problems, with applications in the analysis of rankings, nonparametric statistics, and property testing tasks such as independence and quasirandomness…
Naively storing a counter up to value $n$ would require $\Omega(\log n)$ bits of memory. Nelson and Yu [NY22], following work of [Morris78], showed that if the query answers need only be $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate with probability at least…
A range counting problem is specified by a set $P$ of size $|P| = n$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, an integer weight $x_p$ associated to each point $p \in P$, and a range space ${\cal R} \subseteq 2^{P}$. Given a query range $R \in {\cal…
