We prove a tight lower bound for the exponent $\rho$ for data-dependent Locality-Sensitive Hashing schemes, recently used to design efficient solutions for the $c$-approximate nearest neighbor search. In particular, our lower bound matches…
We propose to use the concept of the Hamming bound to derive the optimal criteria for learning hash codes with a deep network. In particular, when the number of binary hash codes (typically the number of image categories) and code length…
In this article we present a unified treatment for obtaining bounds on the potential energy of codes in the general context of polynomial metric spaces (PM-spaces). The lower bounds we derive via the linear programming (LP) techniques of…
Given a set $S$ of $n$ keys, a perfect hash function for $S$ maps the keys in $S$ to the first $m \geq n$ integers without collisions. It may return an arbitrary result for any key not in $S$ and is called minimal if $m = n$. The most…
Let $\D = $$ \{d_1,d_2,...d_D\}$ be a given set of $D$ string documents of total length $n$, our task is to index $\D$, such that the $k$ most relevant documents for an online query pattern $P$ of length $p$ can be retrieved efficiently. We…
We show that a large fraction of the data-structure lower bounds known today in fact follow by reduction from the communication complexity of lopsided (asymmetric) set disjointness. This includes lower bounds for: * high-dimensional…
In the problem of semialgebraic range searching, we are to preprocess a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^D$ such that the subset of points inside a semialgebraic region described by $O(1)$ polynomial inequalities of degree $\Delta$ can be found…
It is proved that every regular expression of alphabetic width $n$, that is, with $n$ occurrences of symbols of the alphabet, can be transformed into a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) with $2^{\frac{n}{2}+(\frac{\log_2…
Since 1989, the best known lower bound on static data structures was Siegel's classical cell sampling lower bound. Siegel showed an explicit problem with $n$ inputs and $m$ possible queries such that every data structure that answers…
While Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive generation abilities, they frequently struggle when it comes to specialized domains due to their limited domain-specific knowledge. Studies on domain-specific LLMs resort to…
We revisit the fundamental problem of dictionary look-up with mismatches. Given a set (dictionary) of $d$ strings of length $m$ and an integer $k$, we must preprocess it into a data structure to answer the following queries: Given a query…
The optimal space complexity of consensus in shared memory is a decades-old open problem. For a system of $n$ processes, no algorithm is known that uses a sublinear number of registers. However, the best known lower bound due to Fich,…
We consider the problem of estimating an upper bound on the capacity of a memoryless channel with unknown channel law and continuous output alphabet. A novel data-driven algorithm is proposed that exploits the dual representation of…
We consider stochastic optimization over $\ell_p$ spaces using access to a first-order oracle. We ask: {What is the minimum precision required for oracle outputs to retain the unrestricted convergence rates?} We characterize this precision…
We develop a theory of vector spaces spanned by orbit-finite sets. Using this theory, we give a decision procedure for equivalence of weighted register automata, which are the common generalization of weighted automata and register automata…
We introduce data-driven decision-making algorithms that achieve state-of-the-art \emph{dynamic regret} bounds for non-stationary bandit settings. These settings capture applications such as advertisement allocation, dynamic pricing, and…
Applying Bayesian optimization in problems wherein the search space is unknown is challenging. To address this problem, we propose a systematic volume expansion strategy for the Bayesian optimization. We devise a strategy to guarantee that…
We suggest a method for holding a dictionary data structure, which maps keys to values, in the spirit of Bloom Filters. The space requirements of the dictionary we suggest are much smaller than those of a hashtable. We allow storing n keys,…
Many canonical machine learning problems boil down to a convex optimization problem with a finite sum structure. However, whereas much progress has been made in developing faster algorithms for this setting, the inherent limitations of…
Most state-of-the-art satisfiability algorithms today are variants of the DPLL procedure augmented with clause learning. The main bottleneck for such algorithms, other than the obvious one of time, is the amount of memory used. In the field…
