We study the problem of deriving compressibility measures for Piecewise Linear Approximations (PLAs), i.e., error-bounded approximations of a set of two-dimensional increasing data points using a sequence of segments. Such approximations…
We bound the future loss when predicting any (computably) stochastic sequence online. Solomonoff finitely bounded the total deviation of his universal predictor $M$ from the true distribution $mu$ by the algorithmic complexity of $mu$. Here…
In recent years much effort has been concentrated towards achieving polynomial time lower bounds on algorithms for solving various well-known problems. A useful technique for showing such lower bounds is to prove them conditionally based on…
Recently, Dvir, Golovnev, and Weinstein have shown that sufficiently strong lower bounds for linear data structures would imply new bounds for rigid matrices. However, their result utilizes an algorithm that requires an $NP$ oracle, and…
Bayesian coresets speed up posterior inference in the large-scale data regime by approximating the full-data log-likelihood function with a surrogate log-likelihood based on a small, weighted subset of the data. But while Bayesian coresets…
We show that a large fraction of the data-structure lower bounds known today in fact follow by reduction from the communication complexity of lopsided (asymmetric) set disjointness. This includes lower bounds for: * high-dimensional…
We present a tight RMR complexity lower bound for the recoverable mutual exclusion (RME) problem, defined by Golab and Ramaraju \cite{GR2019a}. In particular, we show that any $n$-process RME algorithm using only atomic read, write,…
We devise a data structure that can answer shortest path queries for two query points in a polygonal domain $P$ on $n$ vertices. For any $\varepsilon > 0$, the space complexity of the data structure is $O(n^{10+\varepsilon })$ and queries…
We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds for static data structures. Previous lower bounds used a reduction to communication games, which was known not to be tight by counting arguments. We give the first lower bound…
In algorithms for finite metric spaces, it is common to assume that the distance between two points can be computed in constant time, and complexity bounds are expressed only in terms of the number of points of the metric space. We…
Error bounds have been studied for more than seventy years, beginning with the seminal result of Hoffman (1952) [{\it J. Res. Natl. Bur. Standards}, 49 (1952), 263--265], which establishes an upper bound for the distance from an arbitrary…
Given a set of points in a metric space, the $(k,z)$-clustering problem consists of finding a set of $k$ points called centers, such that the sum of distances raised to the power of $z$ of every data point to its closest center is…
Lossy compression plays a growing role in scientific simulations where the cost of storing their output data can span terabytes. Using error bounded lossy compression reduces the amount of storage for each simulation; however, there is no…
Recently, there has been substantial interest in clustering research that takes a beyond worst-case approach to the analysis of algorithms. The typical idea is to design a clustering algorithm that outputs a near-optimal solution, provided…
Given a set of $n$ sites from $\mathbb{R}^d$, each having some positive weight factor, the Multiplicatively Weighted Voronoi Diagram is a subdivision of space that associates each cell to the site whose weighted Euclidean distance is…
The manifold hypothesis says that natural high-dimensional data lie on or around a low-dimensional manifold. The recent success of statistical and learning-based methods in very high dimensions empirically supports this hypothesis,…
We give lower bounds on the amount of memory required by one-pass streaming algorithms for solving several natural learning problems. In a setting where examples lie in $\{0,1\}^d$ and the optimal classifier can be encoded using $\kappa$…
We show how to construct in linear time coresets of constant size for farthest point problems in fixed-dimensional hyperbolic space. Our coresets provide both an arbitrarily small relative error and additive error $\varepsilon$. More…
This work initiates the study of memory-query tradeoffs for graph problems, with a focus on correlation clustering. Correlation clustering asks for a partition of the vertices that minimizes disagreements: non-edges inside clusters plus…
