We show that for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon>0$, for large enough alphabet $R$, given a $k$-CSP with alphabet size $R$, it is NP-hard to distinguish between the case that there is an assignment satisfying at least…

We study the Densest At-Least-$k$-Subgraph (DAL$k$S) problem, in which we are given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the goal is to find a subgraph of $G$ with at least $k$ vertices with maximum density. The best-known…

We develop a general framework for estimating the $L_\infty(\mathbb{T}^d)$ error for the approximation of multivariate periodic functions belonging to specific reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RHKS) using approximants that are…

We consider the approximate recovery of multivariate periodic functions from a discrete set of function values taken on a rank-$s$ integration lattice. The main result is the fact that any (non-)linear reconstruction algorithm taking…

In this paper, we investigate unconstrained and constrained sample-based federated optimization, respectively. For each problem, we propose a privacy preserving algorithm using stochastic successive convex approximation (SSCA) techniques,…

Low-rank approximation and column subset selection are two fundamental and related problems that are applied across a wealth of machine learning applications. In this paper, we study the question of socially fair low-rank approximation and…

Kink model is developed to analyze the data where the regression function is twostage linear but intersects at an unknown threshold. In quantile regression with longitudinal data, previous work assumed that the unknown threshold parameters…

Sample complexity of bias estimation is a lower bound on the runtime of any bias detection method. Many regulatory frameworks require the bias to be tested for all subgroups, whose number grows exponentially with the number of protected…

Blasiok (SODA'18) recently introduced the notion of a subgaussian sampler, defined as an averaging sampler for approximating the mean of functions $f:\{0,1\}^m \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(U_m)$ has subgaussian tails, and asked for explicit…

In stochastic combinatorial optimization, algorithms differ in their adaptivity: whether or not they query realized randomness and adapt to it. Dean et al. (FOCS '04) formalize the adaptivity gap, which compares the performance of fully…

Kernel $k$-means clustering can correctly identify and extract a far more varied collection of cluster structures than the linear $k$-means clustering algorithm. However, kernel $k$-means clustering is computationally expensive when the…

Weighted Hamming distance, as a similarity measure between binary codes and binary queries, provides superior accuracy in search tasks than Hamming distance. However, how to efficiently and accurately find $K$ binary codes that have the…

Finding an optimal matching in a weighted graph is a standard combinatorial problem. We consider its semi-bandit version where either a pair or a full matching is sampled sequentially. We prove that it is possible to leverage a rank-1…

We describe a new family of $k$-uniform hypergraphs with independent random edges. The hypergraphs have a high probability of being peelable, i.e. to admit no sub-hypergraph of minimum degree $2$, even when the edge density (number of edges…

Hashing is a basic tool for dimensionality reduction employed in several aspects of machine learning. However, the perfomance analysis is often carried out under the abstract assumption that a truly random unit cost hash function is used,…

Combining query answering and data science workloads has become prevalent. An important class of such workloads is top-k queries with a scoring function implemented as an opaque UDF - a black box whose internal structure and scores on the…

We present a 6-approximation algorithm for the minimum-cost $k$-node connected spanning subgraph problem, assuming that the number of nodes is at least $k^3(k-1)+k$. We apply a combinatorial preprocessing, based on the Frank-Tardos…

In this paper, we apply an efficient top-$k$ shortest distance routing algorithm to the link prediction problem and test its efficacy. We compare the results with other base line and state-of-the-art methods as well as with the shortest…

Let $A$ be a set and $V$ a real Hilbert space. Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space of functions $f:A\to V$ and assume $H$ is continuously embedded in the Banach space of bounded functions. For $i=1,\cdots,n$, let $(x_i,y_i)\in A\times V$…

The problem of finding a $k \times k$ submatrix of maximum volume of a matrix $A$ is of interest in a variety of applications. For example, it yields a quasi-best low-rank approximation constructed from the rows and columns of $A$. We show…
