We introduce and investigate the approximability of the maximum binary tree problem (MBT) in directed and undirected graphs. The goal in MBT is to find a maximum-sized binary tree in a given graph. MBT is a natural variant of the…
Decision trees and randomized forests are widely used in computer vision and machine learning. Standard algorithms for decision tree induction optimize the split functions one node at a time according to some splitting criteria. This greedy…
It is known that greedy methods perform well for maximizing monotone submodular functions. At the same time, such methods perform poorly in the face of non-monotonicity. In this paper, we show - arguably, surprisingly - that invoking the…
The {Congested Clique} is a distributed-computing model for single-hop networks with restricted bandwidth that has been very intensively studied recently. It models a network by an $n$-vertex graph in which any pair of vertices can…
The sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems (SINDy) is a data-driven technique employed for uncovering and representing the fundamental dynamics of intricate systems based on observational data. However, a primary obstacle in…
Distributed stochastic gradient descent (SGD) has attracted considerable recent attention due to its potential for scaling computational resources, reducing training time, and helping protect user privacy in machine learning. However, the…
In 1996, Bodlaender showed the celebrated result that an optimal tree decomposition of a graph of bounded treewidth can be found in linear time. The algorithm is based on an algorithm of Bodlaender and Kloks that computes an optimal tree…
We propose a new unifying framework, Birch SGD, for analyzing and designing distributed SGD methods. The central idea is to represent each method as a weighted directed tree, referred to as a computation tree. Leveraging this…
The problem of {\em efficiently} finding the best match for a query in a given set with respect to the Euclidean distance or the cosine similarity has been extensively studied in literature. However, a closely related problem of efficiently…
We consider the well-studied Sparse Fourier transform problem, where one aims to quickly recover an approximately Fourier $k$-sparse vector $\widehat{x} \in \mathbb{C}^{n^d}$ from observing its time domain representation $x$. In the exact…
We present SimultaneousGreedys, a deterministic algorithm for constrained submodular maximization. At a high level, the algorithm maintains $\ell$ solutions and greedily updates them in a simultaneous fashion. SimultaneousGreedys achieves…
In this work, we define the problem of finding an optimal query plan as finding spanning trees with low costs. This approach empowers the utilization of a series of spanning tree algorithms, thereby enabling systematic exploration of the…
In 1971, Knuth gave an $O(n^2)$-time algorithm for the classic problem of finding an optimal binary search tree. Knuth's algorithm works only for search trees based on 3-way comparisons, while most modern computers support only 2-way…
We study a generalized binary search problem on the line and general trees. On the line (e.g., a sorted array), binary search finds a target node in $O(\log n)$ queries in the worst case, where $n$ is the number of nodes. In situations with…
In this paper we study the Steiner tree problem over a dynamic set of terminals. We consider the model where we are given an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E,w)$ with positive real edge weights, and our goal is to maintain a tree which is a good…
In this experimental study we consider Steiner tree approximations that guarantee a constant approximation of ratio smaller than $2$. The considered greedy algorithms and approaches based on linear programming involve the incorporation of…
In constrained solution spaces with a huge number of homotopy classes, stand-alone sampling-based kinodynamic planners suffer low efficiency in convergence. Local optimization is integrated to alleviate this problem. In this paper, we…
Decision trees are one of the most popular classifiers in the machine learning literature. While the most common decision tree learning algorithms treat data as a batch, numerous algorithms have been proposed to construct decision trees…
The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…
We study the query complexity of the metric Steiner Tree problem, where we are given an $n \times n$ metric on a set $V$ of vertices along with a set $T \subseteq V$ of $k$ terminals, and the goal is to find a tree of minimum cost that…
