Monotonicity is a simple yet significant qualitative characteristic. We consider the problem of segmenting a sequence in up to K segments. We want segments to be as monotonic as possible and to alternate signs. We propose a quality metric…
We introduce an online outlier detection algorithm to detect outliers in a sequentially observed data stream. For this purpose, we use a two-stage filtering and hedging approach. In the first stage, we construct a multi-modal probability…
We show a fully dynamic algorithm for maintaining $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate \emph{size} of maximum matching of the graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges using $m^{0.5-\Omega_{\epsilon}(1)}$ update time. This is the first polynomial…
Monotonicity is a simple yet significant qualitative characteristic. We consider the problem of segmenting an array in up to K segments. We want segments to be as monotonic as possible and to alternate signs. We propose a quality metric for…
We give an $O(\log^2 n)$-query algorithm for finding a Tarski fixed point over the $4$-dimensional lattice $[n]^4$, matching the $\Omega(\log^2 n)$ lower bound of [EPRY20]. Additionally, our algorithm yields an ${O(\log^{\lceil…
This paper studies parallel algorithms for the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) problem. Let $n$ be the input size and $k$ be the LIS length of the input. Sequentially, LIS is a simple problem that can be solved using dynamic…
The development of nonlinear optimization algorithms capable of performing reliably in the presence of noise has garnered considerable attention lately. This paper advocates for strategies to create noise-tolerant nonlinear optimization…
In this paper, we develop fast algorithms for two stochastic submodular maximization problems. We start with the well-studied adaptive submodular maximization problem subject to a cardinality constraint. We develop the first linear-time…
We study the worst-case complexity of a non-monotone line search framework that covers a wide variety of known techniques published in the literature. In this framework, the non-monotonicity is controlled by a sequence of nonnegative…
We study sublinear time algorithms for estimating the size of maximum matching. After a long line of research, the problem was finally settled by Behnezhad [FOCS'22], in the regime where one is willing to pay an approximation factor of $2$.…
The maximum matching problem in dynamic graphs subject to edge updates (insertions and deletions) has received much attention over the last few years; a multitude of approximation/time tradeoffs were obtained, improving upon the folklore…
Tarski's theorem states that every monotone function from a complete lattice to itself has a fixed point. We analyze the query complexity of finding such a fixed point on the $k$-dimensional grid of side length $n$ under the $\leq$…
In the $k$-dispersion problem, we need to select $k$ nodes of a given graph so as to maximize the minimum distance between any two chosen nodes. This can be seen as a generalization of the independent set problem, where the goal is to…
A (tandem) duplication of length $ k $ is an insertion of an exact copy of a substring of length $ k $ next to its original position. This and related types of impairments are of relevance in modeling communication in the presence of…
We consider the problem of monotone, submodular maximization over a ground set of size $n$ subject to cardinality constraint $k$. For this problem, we introduce the first deterministic algorithms with linear time complexity; these…
Adaptive sequential decision making is one of the central challenges in machine learning and artificial intelligence. In such problems, the goal is to design an interactive policy that plans for an action to take, from a finite set of $n$…
We introduce and study the problem of consistent low-rank approximation, in which rows of an input matrix $\mathbf{A}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ arrive sequentially and the goal is to provide a sequence of subspaces that well-approximate the…
We consider the problem of learning a non-negative linear classifier with a $1$-norm of at most $k$, and a fixed threshold, under the hinge-loss. This problem generalizes the problem of learning a $k$-monotone disjunction. We prove that we…
We consider the problem of computing a $k$-sparse approximation to the Fourier transform of a length $N$ signal. Our main result is a randomized algorithm for computing such an approximation (i.e. achieving the $\ell_2/\ell_2$ sparse…
We consider the classic problem of computing the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) of two strings of length $n$. While a simple quadratic algorithm has been known for the problem for more than 40 years, no faster algorithm has been found…
