This paper studies the "explanation problem" for tree- and linearly-ordered array data, a problem motivated by database applications and recently solved for the one-dimensional tree-ordered case. In this paper, one is given a matrix A whose…

Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising technology to meet the demands of the next generation wireless networks on massive connectivity, high throughput and reliability, improved fairness, and low latency. In this context,…

This paper is concerned with the taxonomy of finitely complete categories, based on 'matrix properties' - these are a particular type of exactness properties that can be represented by integer matrices. In particular, the main result of the…

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an efficient algorithm to compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and its inverse. In this paper, we pay special attention to the description of complex-data FFT. We analyze two common descriptions of…

For a terminal alphabet $\Sigma$ and an attribute alphabet $\Gamma$, a $(\Sigma, \Gamma)$-extractor is a function that maps every string over $\Sigma$ to a table with a column per attribute and with sets of positions of $w$ as cell entries.…

Remora is a higher-order, rank-polymorphic array-processing programming language, in the same general class of languages as APL and J. It is intended for writing programs to be executed on parallel hardware. We provide an example-driven…

We present a simple and provably optimal non-adaptive cell probe data structure for the static dictionary problem. Our data structure supports storing a set of n key-value pairs from [u]x[u] using s words of space and answering key lookup…

In this work we relate the deterministic complexity of factoring polynomials (over finite fields) to certain combinatorial objects we call m-schemes. We extend the known conditional deterministic subexponential time polynomial factoring…

This paper introduces {\em fusion subspace clustering}, a novel method to learn low-dimensional structures that approximate large scale yet highly incomplete data. The main idea is to assign each datum to a subspace of its own, and minimize…

We propose `Dracula', a new framework for unsupervised feature selection from sequential data such as text. Dracula learns a dictionary of $n$-grams that efficiently compresses a given corpus and recursively compresses its own dictionary;…

We introduce the hollow heap, a very simple data structure with the same amortized efficiency as the classical Fibonacci heap. All heap operations except delete and delete-min take $O(1)$ time, worst case as well as amortized; delete and…

Graph homomorphism has been studied intensively. Given an m x m symmetric matrix A, the graph homomorphism function is defined as \[Z_A (G) = \sum_{f:V->[m]} \prod_{(u,v)\in E} A_{f(u),f(v)}, \] where G = (V,E) is any undirected graph. The…

We consider a range-search variant of the closest-pair problem. Let $\varGamma$ be a fixed shape in the plane. We are interested in storing a given set of $n$ points in the plane in some data structure such that for any specified translate…

We present a systematic derivation of a data-parallel implementation of two-level, static and collision-free hash maps, by giving a functional formulation of the Fredman et al. construction, and then flattening it. We discuss the challenges…

We introduce two-dimensional toroidal arrays that are a variant of the de Bruijn tori. We call them nested perfect toroidal arrays. Instead of asking that every array of a given size has exactly one occurrence, we partition the positions in…

There is growing interest in representing image data and feature descriptors using compact binary codes for fast near neighbor search. Although binary codes are motivated by their use as direct indices (addresses) into a hash table, codes…

Algorithms to generate various combinatorial structures find tremendous importance in computer science. In this paper, we begin by reviewing an algorithm proposed by Rohl that generates all unique permutations of a list of elements which…

Suppose x is any exactly k-sparse vector in R^n. We present a class of sparse matrices A, and a corresponding algorithm that we call SHO-FA (for Short and Fast) that, with high probability over A, can reconstruct x from Ax. The SHO-FA…

A Monotone Minimal Perfect Hash Function (MMPHF) constructed on a set S of keys is a function that maps each key in S to its rank. On keys not in S, the function returns an arbitrary value. Applications range from databases, search engines,…

In many applications one wants to identify identical subtrees of a program syntax tree. This identification should ideally be robust to alpha-renaming of the program, but no existing technique has been shown to achieve this with good…
