In quantum computing the decoherence time of the qubits determines the computation time available and this time is very limited when using current hardware. In this paper we minimize the execution time (the depth) for a class of circuits…

Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure in $\mathbb R^d$. For a $k$-flat $\alpha$ consider the value $\inf \mu(H)$, where $H$ runs through all half-spaces containing $\alpha$. This infimum is called the half-space depth of $\alpha$. Bukh,…

Given a set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane, such that just $k$ points are strictly inside the convex hull of the whole set, we want to find the shortest tour visiting every point. The fastest known algorithm for the version when $k$…

For a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, for any $d\ge 2$, a hyperplane $h$ is called $k$-rich with respect to $P$ if it contains at least $k$ points of $P$. Answering and generalizing a question asked by Peyman Afshani, we show that…

This paper studies how to generalize Tukey's depth to problems defined in a restricted space that may be curved or have boundaries, and to problems with a nondifferentiable objective. First, using a manifold approach, we propose a broad…

Given n data points in R^d, an appropriate edge-weighted graph connecting the data points finds application in solving clustering, classification, and regresssion problems. The graph proposed by Daitch, Kelner and Spielman (ICML~2009) can…

One of the most fundamental problems in Computer Science is the Knapsack problem. Given a set of n items with different weights and values, it asks to pick the most valuable subset whose total weight is below a capacity threshold T. Despite…

In this paper, we study the problem of computing the diameter of a set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space for a fixed dimension $d$, and propose a new $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^{d-1})$…

Contours may be viewed as the 2D outline of the image of an object. This type of data arises in medical imaging as well as in computer vision and can be modeled as data on a manifold and can be studied using statistical shape analysis.…

We give an algorithm to compute all the local peaks in the $k$-level of an arrangement of $n$ lines in $O(n \log n) + \tilde{O}((kn)^{2/3})$ time. We can also find $\tau$ largest peaks in $O(n \log ^2 n) + \tilde{O}((\tau n)^{2/3})$ time.…

A modified dynamic programming algorithm rapidly and accurately solves large 0/1 knapsack problems. It has computational O(nlogn), space O(nlogn) and predictable maximum error. Experimentally it's accuracy increases faster than linearly…

For a permutation f of an n-dimensional vector space V over a finite field of order q we let k-affinity(f) denote the number of k-flats X of V such that f(X) is also a k-flat. By k-spectrum(n,q) we mean the set of integers k-affinity(f)…

We present a new algorithm for Tukey (halfspace) depth level sets and its implementation. Given $d$-dimensional data set for any $d\geq 2$, the algorithm is based on representation of level sets as intersections of balls in $R^d$, and can…

Deep learning applications are usually very compute-intensive and require a long run time for training and inference. This has been tackled by researchers from both hardware and software sides, and in this paper, we propose a Roofline-based…

We revisit the well-studied problem of learning a linear combination of $k$ ReLU activations given labeled examples drawn from the standard $d$-dimensional Gaussian measure. Chen et al. [CDG+23] recently gave the first algorithm for this…

Measures of data depth have been studied extensively for point data. Motivated by recent work on analysis, clustering, and identifying representative elements in sets of trajectories, we introduce {\em curve stabbing depth} to quantify how…

We study the problem of estimating the edit distance between two $n$-character strings. While exact computation in the worst case is believed to require near-quadratic time, previous work showed that in certain regimes it is possible to…
