The hypergraph duality problem DUAL is defined as follows: given two simple hypergraphs $\mathcal{G}$ and $\mathcal{H}$, decide whether $\mathcal{H}$ consists precisely of all minimal transversals of $\mathcal{G}$ (in which case we say that…
We consider the problem of dualizing a monotone CNF (equivalently, computing all minimal transversals of a hypergraph), whose associated decision problem is a prominent open problem in NP-completeness. We present a number of new polynomial…
Given two prime monotone boolean functions $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ and $g:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ the dualization problem consists in determining if $g$ is the dual of $f$, that is if $f(x_1, \dots, x_n)= \overline{g}(\overline{x_1}, \dots…
A hypergraph ${\cal F}$ is a set family defined on vertex set $V$. The dual of ${\cal F}$ is the set of minimal subsets $H$ of $V$ such that $F\cap H \ne \emptyset$ for any $F\in {\cal F}$. The computation of the dual is equivalent to many…
Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are homomorphism indistinguishable over a graph class $\mathcal{F}$ if they admit the same number of homomorphisms from every graph $F \in \mathcal{F}$. Many graph isomorphism relaxations such as (quantum) isomorphism…
Two-sample hypothesis testing for random graphs arises naturally in neuroscience, social networks, and machine learning. In this paper, we consider a semiparametric problem of two-sample hypothesis testing for a class of latent position…
In this paper, we study the problem of learning a monotone DNF with at most $s$ terms of size (number of variables in each term) at most $r$ ($s$ term $r$-MDNF) from membership queries. This problem is equivalent to the problem of learning…
A complete classification of the computational complexity of the fixed-point existence problem for boolean dynamical systems, i.e., finite discrete dynamical systems over the domain {0, 1}, is presented. For function classes F and graph…
In this work, we consider the sample complexity required for testing the monotonicity of distributions over partial orders. A distribution $p$ over a poset is monotone if, for any pair of domain elements $x$ and $y$ such that $x \preceq y$,…
In the monotone integer dualization problem, we are given two sets of vectors in an integer box such that no vector in the first set is dominated by a vector in the second. The question is to check if the two sets of vectors cover the…
We study the problems of testing isomorphism of polynomials, algebras, and multilinear forms. Our first main results are average-case algorithms for these problems. For example, we develop an algorithm that takes two cubic forms $f, g\in…
Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are homomorphism indistinguishable over a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ if for all graphs $F \in \mathcal{F}$ the number of homomorphisms from $F$ to $G$ is equal to the number of homomorphism from $F$ to $H$. Many…
Double descent presents a counter-intuitive aspect within the machine learning domain, and researchers have observed its manifestation in various models and tasks. While some theoretical explanations have been proposed for this phenomenon…
In this work the Gardner problem of inferring interactions and fields for an Ising neural network from given patterns under a local stability hypothesis is addressed under a dual perspective. By means of duality arguments an integer linear…
This thesis investigates the central role of homomorphism problems (structure-preserving maps) in two complementary domains: database querying over finite, graph-shaped data, and constraint solving over (potentially infinite) structures.…
Parameter-space and function-space provide two different duality frames in which to study neural networks. We demonstrate that symmetries of network densities may be determined via dual computations of network correlation functions, even…
We prove that if $F$ is twice Frechet differentiable and coercivity conditions hold, then $F$ is surjective, i.e., the equation $F(u)=h$ is solvable for every $h\in H$. This is a basic result in the theory of monotone operators. Our aim is…
Given a partially order set (poset) $P$, and a pair of families of ideals $\mathcal{I}$ and filters $\mathcal{F}$ in $P$ such that each pair $(I,F)\in \mathcal{I}\times\mathcal{F}$ has a non-empty intersection, the dualization problem over…
The dual normal factor graph and the factor graph duality theorem have been considered for discrete graphical models. In this paper, we show an application of the factor graph duality theorem to continuous graphical models. Specifically, we…
We consider the problem of testing whether an unknown Boolean function $f$ is monotone versus $\epsilon$-far from every monotone function. The two main results of this paper are a new lower bound and a new algorithm for this well-studied…
