This paper proposes a new method to provide the exponential convergence of both the parameter and tracking errors of the composite adaptive control system without the persistent excitation (PE) requirement. Instead, the derived composite…

In this paper, we introduce a powerful technique based on Leave-one-out analysis to the study of low-rank matrix completion problems. Using this technique, we develop a general approach for obtaining fine-grained, entrywise bounds for…

Weighted ensemble (WE) is an enhanced path-sampling method that is conceptually simple, widely applicable, and statistically exact. In a WE simulation, an ensemble of trajectories is periodically pruned or replicated to enhance sampling of…

Minimizing training overhead in channel estimation is a crucial challenge in wireless communication systems. This paper presents an extension of the traditional blind algorithm, called "Mutually referenced equalizers" (MRE), specifically…

The emergence of systems with non-volatile main memory (NVM) increases the interest in the design of \emph{recoverable concurrent objects} that are robust to crash-failures, since their operations are able to recover from such failures by…

Model merging aims to combine multiple fine-tuned models into a single set of weights that performs well across all source tasks. While prior work has shown that merging can approximate the performance of individual fine-tuned models for…

Computing Fourier transforms of k-sparse signals, where only k of N frequencies are non-zero, is fundamental in compressed sensing, radar, and medical imaging. While the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) evaluates all N frequencies in $O(N \log…

In this paper, we study adaptive online convex optimization, and aim to design a universal algorithm that achieves optimal regret bounds for multiple common types of loss functions. Existing universal methods are limited in the sense that…

Achieving sample efficiency in online episodic reinforcement learning (RL) requires optimally balancing exploration and exploitation. When it comes to a finite-horizon episodic Markov decision process with $S$ states, $A$ actions and…

The transformer architecture has been widely applied to many machine learning tasks. A main bottleneck in the time to perform transformer computations is a task called attention computation. [Alman and Song, NeurIPS 2023] have shown that in…

Recursive list decoding is considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes. The algorithm repeatedly relegates itself to the shorter RM codes by recalculating the posterior probabilities of their symbols. Intermediate decodings are only performed…

Robust optimization (RO) is a powerful paradigm for decision making under uncertainty. Existing algorithms for solving RO, including the reformulation approach and the cutting-plane method, do not scale well, hindering the application of RO…

In this paper, we study the non-monotone adaptive submodular maximization problem subject to a cardinality constraint. We first revisit the adaptive random greedy algorithm proposed in \citep{gotovos2015non}, where they show that this…

We formalize the problem of machine unlearning as design of efficient unlearning algorithms corresponding to learning algorithms which perform a selection of adaptive queries from structured query classes. We give efficient unlearning…

We propose an optimal iterative scheme for federated transfer learning, where a central planner has access to datasets ${\cal D}_1,\dots,{\cal D}_N$ for the same learning model $f_{\theta}$. Our objective is to minimize the cumulative…

This paper considers online optimization for a system that performs a sequence of back-to-back tasks. Each task can be processed in one of multiple processing modes that affect the duration of the task, the reward earned, and an additional…

Reliability-based optimization (RBO) is crucial for identifying optimal risk-informed decisions for designing and operating engineering systems. However, its computation remains challenging as it requires a concurrent task of optimization…

Submodular function minimization (SFM) is a fundamental and efficiently solvable problem class in combinatorial optimization with a multitude of applications in various fields. Surprisingly, there is only very little known about constraint…

Precoding design based on weighted sum-rate (WSR) maximization is a fundamental problem in downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. While the weighted minimum mean-square error (WMMSE) algorithm is a standard…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances recency and factuality in answers. However, existing evaluations rarely test how well these systems cope with real-world noise, conflicting between internal and external retrieved contexts, or…
