We construct an algorithm, running in time $\tilde{\mathcal O}(N d + uK d)$, which is robust to outliers and heavy-tailed data and which achieves the subgaussian rate from [Lugosi, Mendelson] \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro_subgaus_rate}…
Perturbing a deterministic $n$-dimensional matrix with small Gaussian noise is a cornerstone of smoothed analysis of algorithms [Spielman and Teng, JACM 2004], as it reduces the condition number of the input to $O(n)$, and with it the…

We study optimal transport between two high-dimensional distributions $\mu,\nu$ in $R^n$ from an algorithmic perspective: given $x \sim \mu$, find a close $y \sim \nu$ in $poly(n)$ time, where $n$ is the dimension of $x,y$. Thus, running…

The problem of solving linear systems is one of the most fundamental problems in computer science, where given a satisfiable linear system $(A,b)$, for $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}^n$, we wish to find a vector $x…
We prove that every $n$-point metric space of negative type (and, in particular, every $n$-point subset of $L_1$) embeds into a Euclidean space with distortion $O(\sqrt{\log n} \cdot\log \log n)$, a result which is tight up to the iterated…
We analyze the accuracy of the discrete least-squares approximation of a function $u$ in multivariate polynomial spaces $\mathbb{P}_\Lambda:={\rm span} \{y\mapsto y^\nu \,: \, \nu\in \Lambda\}$ with $\Lambda\subset \mathbb{N}_0^d$ over the…
