Bilevel optimization problems embed the optimality of a subproblem as a constraint of another optimization problem. We introduce the concept of near-optimality robustness for bilevel optimization, protecting the upper-level solution…
We present error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, for every $0 < R < 1$ and $\eps> 0$, we present an explicit construction of…
Bipartite graphs model the relationship between two disjoint sets of objects. They have a wide range of applications and are often visualized as a 2-layered drawing, where each set of objects is visualized as a set of vertices (points) on…
Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasigroup structure on the input alphabet. Just as with "usual" polar codes, the block error probability under successive cancellation decoding is…
Bilevel optimization has been applied to a wide variety of machine learning models, and numerous stochastic bilevel optimization algorithms have been developed in recent years. However, most existing algorithms restrict their focus on the…

We characterize the bipartite graphs that minimize the (first-degree based) entropy, among all bipartite graphs of given size, or given size and (upper bound on the) order. The extremal graphs turn out to be complete bipartite graphs, or…
Surface codes are quantum error correcting codes normally defined on 2D arrays of qubits. In this paper, we introduce a surface code design based on the fact that the severity of bit flip and phase flip errors in the physical quantum…
We investigate the usage of highly efficient error correcting codes of multilevel systems to protect encoded quantum information from erasure errors and implementation to repetitively correct these errors. Our scheme makes use of quantum…

Decomposable graphs are known for their tedious and complicated Markov update steps. Instead of modelling them directly, this work introduces a class of tree-dependent bipartite graphs that span the projective space of decomposable graphs.…
Mixed level orthogonal arrays are basic structures in experimental design. We develop three algorithms that compute Rao and Gilbert-Varshamov type bounds for mixed level orthogonal arrays. The computational complexity of the terms involved…
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…
