We review connections between coding-theoretic objects and sparse learning problems. In particular, we show how seemingly different combinatorial objects such as error-correcting codes, combinatorial designs, spherical codes, compressed…
To preserve data privacy, multi-party computation (MPC) enables executing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms on private data. However, MPC frameworks do not include optimized operations on sparse data. This absence makes them unsuitable for…
The use of codes defined by sparse characteristic matrices, like QC-LDPC and QC-MDPC codes, has become an established solution to design secure and efficient code-based public-key encryption schemes, as also witnessed by the ongoing NIST…
In sparse convolution-type problems, a common technique is to hash the input integers modulo a random prime $p\in [Q/2,Q]$ for some parameter $Q$, which reduces the range of the input integers while preserving their additive structure.…
Fast matrix multiplication algorithms may be useful, provided that their running time is good in practice. Particularly, the leading coefficient of their arithmetic complexity needs to be small. Many sub-cubic algorithms have large leading…
In recent years, the fervent demand for computational power across various domains has prompted hardware manufacturers to introduce specialized computing hardware aimed at enhancing computational capabilities. Particularly, the utilization…
Linear programming (LP) decoding approximates maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of a linear block code by relaxing the equivalent ML integer programming (IP) problem into a more easily solved LP problem. The LP problem is defined by a set of…
This paper examines fundamental error characteristics for a general class of matrix completion problems, where the matrix of interest is a product of two a priori unknown matrices, one of which is sparse, and the observations are noisy. Our…
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to solve a maximum likelihood problem with an added l_1-norm…
This paper considers the problem of outsourcing the multiplication of two private and sparse matrices to untrusted workers. Secret sharing schemes can be used to tolerate stragglers and guarantee information-theoretic privacy of the…
Matrix scaling problems with sparse cost matrices arise frequently in various domains, such as optimal transport, image processing, and machine learning. The Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm is a popular iterative method for solving these problems,…
An approach is established for maximizing the Lower bound on the Mismatch capacity (hereafter abbreviated as LM rate), a key performance bound in mismatched decoding, by optimizing the channel input probability distribution. Under a fixed…
Motivated by $\ell_p$-optimization arising from sparse optimization, high dimensional data analytics and statistics, this paper studies sparse properties of a wide range of $p$-norm based optimization problems with $p > 1$, including…
This paper considers the average complexity of maximum likelihood (ML) decoding of convolutional codes. ML decoding can be modeled as finding the most probable path taken through a Markov graph. Integrated with the Viterbi algorithm (VA),…
In the dictionary learning (or sparse coding) problem, we are given a collection of signals (vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$), and the goal is to find a "basis" in which the signals have a sparse (approximate) representation. The problem has…
Constrained tensor and matrix factorization models allow to extract interpretable patterns from multiway data. Therefore identifiability properties and efficient algorithms for constrained low-rank approximations are nowadays important…
Reed-Muller (RM) codes exhibit good performance under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding due to their highly-symmetric structure. In this paper, we explore the question of whether the code symmetry of RM codes can also be exploited to achieve…
We study the problem of computing matrix chain multiplications in a distributed computing cluster. In such systems, performance is often limited by the straggler problem, where the slowest worker dominates the overall computation latency.…
In this paper, we consider the "foreach" sparse recovery problem with failure probability $p$. The goal of which is to design a distribution over $m \times N$ matrices $\Phi$ and a decoding algorithm $\algo$ such that for every…
In this paper, we present an analysis of the strength of sparse cutting-planes for mixed integer linear programs (MILP) with sparse formulations. We examine three kinds of problems: packing problems, covering problems, and more general…
