We propose a way of characterizing the algorithms computing a Walsh-Hadamard transform that consist of a sequence of arrays of butterflies ($I_{2^{n-1}}\otimes \text{DFT}_2$) interleaved by linear permutations. Linear permutations are those…
Searching for all occurrences of a pattern in a text is a fundamental problem in computer science with applications in many other fields, like natural language processing, information retrieval and computational biology. In the last two…
Convolutional sparse coding improves on the standard sparse approximation by incorporating a global shift-invariant model. The most efficient convolutional sparse coding methods are based on the alternating direction method of multipliers…
This summarizes our latest understanding and results about the algorithms for enumerating Tanner Graphs that have a regular structure called Balanced Tanner Graphs. Enumeration algorithms for Balanced Tanner Graphs based upon Cyclic…
We survey permutation-based methods for approximate k-nearest neighbor search. In these methods, every data point is represented by a ranked list of pivots sorted by the distance to this point. Such ranked lists are called permutations. The…
We propose a convex variational principle to find sparse representation of low-lying eigenspace of symmetric matrices. In the context of electronic structure calculation, this corresponds to a sparse density matrix minimization algorithm…
Finding an Approximate Longest Common Substring (ALCS) within a given set $S=\{s_1,s_2,\ldots,s_m\}$ of $m \ge 2$ strings is a key problem in computational biology, such as identifying related mutations across multiple genetic sequences. We…
The Closest String Problem is an NP-hard problem that aims to find a string that has the minimum distance from all sequences that belong to the given set of strings. Its applications can be found in coding theory, computational biology, and…
We consider recursive decoding for Reed-Muller (RM) codes and their subcodes. Two new recursive techniques are described. We analyze asymptotic properties of these algorithms and show that they substantially outperform other decoding…
A Lyndon word is a primitive string which is lexicographically smallest among cyclic permutations of its characters. Lyndon words are used for constructing bases in free Lie algebras, constructing de Bruijn sequences, finding the…
For reconstruction of low-rank matrices from undersampled measurements, we develop an iterative algorithm based on least-squares estimation. While the algorithm can be used for any low-rank matrix, it is also capable of exploiting a-priori…
Alternating Minimization is a widely used and empirically successful heuristic for matrix completion and related low-rank optimization problems. Theoretical guarantees for Alternating Minimization have been hard to come by and are still…
This paper introduces a new family of reconstruction codes which is motivated by applications in DNA data storage and sequencing. In such applications, DNA strands are sequenced by reading some subset of their substrings. While previous…
We study the following rearrangement problem: Given $n$ words, rearrange and concatenate them so that the obtained string is lexicographically smallest (or largest, respectively). We show that this problem reduces to sorting the given words…
It is now well understood that $\ell_1$ minimization algorithm is able to recover sparse signals from incomplete measurements [2], [1], [3] and sharp recoverable sparsity thresholds have also been obtained for the $\ell_1$ minimization…
A permutation array $A$ is a set of permutations on a finite set $\Omega$, say of size $n$. Given distinct permutations $\pi, \sigma\in \Omega$, we let $hd(\pi, \sigma) = |\{ x\in \Omega: \pi(x) \ne \sigma(x) \}|$, called the Hamming…
Following Babai's algorithm for the string isomorphism problem, we determine that it is possible to write expressions of short length describing certain permutation cosets, including all permutation subgroups; this is feasible both in the…
Recursive list decoding of Reed-Muller (RM) codes, with moderate list size, is known to approach maximum-likelihood (ML) performance of short length $(\leq 256)$ RM codes. Recursive decoding employs the Plotkin construction to split the…
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…
String matching is the problem of finding all the substrings of a text which match a given pattern. It is one of the most investigated problems in computer science, mainly due to its very diverse applications in several fields. Recently,…
