The proposed feature selection method builds a histogram of the most stable features from random subsets of a training set and ranks the features based on a classifier based cross-validation. This approach reduces the instability of…
The average properties of the well-known Subset Sum Problem can be studied by the means of its randomised version, where we are given a target value $z$, random variables $X_1, \ldots, X_n$, and an error parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, and we…
We make progress on two important problems regarding attribute efficient learnability. First, we give an algorithm for learning decision lists of length $k$ over $n$ variables using $2^{\tilde{O}(k^{1/3})} \log n$ examples and time…
In this paper we develop a randomized block-coordinate descent method for minimizing the sum of a smooth and a simple nonsmooth block-separable convex function and prove that it obtains an $\epsilon$-accurate solution with probability at…
In 2015, Driemel, Krivo\v{s}ija and Sohler introduced the $(k,\ell)$-median problem for clustering polygonal curves under the Fr\'echet distance. Given a set of input curves, the problem asks to find $k$ median curves of at most $\ell$…
In this paper, we analyze several variants of a simple method for generating prime numbers with fewer random bits. To generate a prime $p$ less than $x$, the basic idea is to fix a constant $q\propto x^{1-\varepsilon}$, pick a uniformly…
Selecting $k$ out of $m$ items based on the preferences of $n$ heterogeneous agents is a widely studied problem in algorithmic game theory. If agents have approval preferences over individual items and harmonic utility functions over…
We introduce an online version of the multiselection problem, in which q selection queries are requested on an unsorted array of n elements. We provide the first online algorithm that is 1-competitive with Kaligosi et al. [ICALP 2005] in…
It is known that any open necklace with beads of $t$ types in which the number of beads of each type is divisible by $k$, can be partitioned by at most $(k-1)t$ cuts into intervals that can be distributed into $k$ collections, each…
Subset selection for the rank $k$ approximation of an $n\times d$ matrix $A$ offers improvements in the interpretability of matrices, as well as a variety of computational savings. This problem is well-understood when the error measure is…
In this paper, two novel algorithms for features selection are proposed. The first one is a filter method while the second is wrapper method. Both the proposed algorithms use the crowding distance used in the multiobjective optimization as…
In this paper, we propose an ensemble learning algorithm called \textit{under-bagging $k$-nearest neighbors} (\textit{under-bagging $k$-NN}) for imbalanced classification problems. On the theoretical side, by developing a new learning…
Bipartite Correlation clustering is the problem of generating a set of disjoint bi-cliques on a set of nodes while minimizing the symmetric difference to a bipartite input graph. The number or size of the output clusters is not constrained…
A triplet comparison oracle on a set $S$ takes an object $x \in S$ and for any pair $\{y, z\} \subset S \setminus \{x\}$ declares which of $y$ and $z$ is more similar to $x$. Partitioned Local Depth (PaLD) supplies a principled…
Let n be any odd natural number other than a perfect square, in this article it is demonstrated that this new factorization algorithm is much more efficient than the implementation technique [2,3 p.1470], described in this article, of the…
We study the theoretical properties of random Fourier features classification with Lipschitz continuous loss functions such as support vector machine and logistic regression. Utilizing the regularity condition, we show for the first time…
We prove two basic conjectures on the distribution of the smallest singular value of random n times n matrices with independent entries. Under minimal moment assumptions, we show that the smallest singular value is of order n^{-1/2}, which…
We investigate $k$-means clustering in the online no-substitution setting when the input arrives in \emph{arbitrary} order. In this setting, points arrive one after another, and the algorithm is required to instantly decide whether to take…
In the setting of nonparametric regression, we propose and study a combination of stochastic gradient methods with Nystr\"om subsampling, allowing multiple passes over the data and mini-batches. Generalization error bounds for the studied…
We define the min-min expectation selection problem (resp. max-min expectation selection problem) to be that of selecting k out of n given discrete probability distributions, to minimize (resp. maximize) the expectation of the minimum value…
