In the study of dynamical and physical systems, the input parameters are often uncertain or randomly distributed according to a measure $\varrho$. The system's response $f$ pushes forward $\varrho$ to a new measure $f\circ \varrho$ which we…

A sparsifier of a graph $G$ (Bencz\'ur and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph $\tilde G$ that approximately retains the cut structure of $G$. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using…

The problem of sparsifying a graph or a hypergraph while approximately preserving its cut structure has been extensively studied and has many applications. In a seminal work, Bencz\'ur and Karger (1996) showed that given any $n$-vertex…

In this paper, we propose new methods to efficiently solve convex optimization problems encountered in sparse estimation, which include a new quasi-Newton method that avoids computing the Hessian matrix and improves efficiency, and we prove…

We consider a variation of the spectral sparsification problem where we are required to keep a subgraph of the original graph. Formally, given a union of two weighted graphs $G$ and $W$ and an integer $k$, we are asked to find a $k$-edge…

A generalization of the Wasserstein metric, the integrated transportation distance, establishes a novel distance between probability kernels of Markov systems. This metric serves as the foundation for an efficient approximation technique,…

In recent years, hypergraph generalizations of many graph cut problems have been introduced and analyzed as a way to better explore and understand complex systems and datasets characterized by multiway relationships. Recent work has made…

This paper introduces a novel method to estimate distance fields from noisy point clouds using Gaussian Process (GP) regression. Distance fields, or distance functions, gained popularity for applications like point cloud registration,…

The sparse pseudo-input Gaussian process (SPGP) is a new approximation method for speeding up GP regression in the case of a large number of data points N. The approximation is controlled by the gradient optimization of a small set of M…

To reduce the long training time of large deep neural network (DNN) models, distributed synchronous stochastic gradient descent (S-SGD) is commonly used on a cluster of workers. However, the speedup brought by multiple workers is limited by…

In this paper, we investigate the properties of the Sliced Wasserstein Distance (SW) when employed as an objective functional. The SW metric has gained significant interest in the optimal transport and machine learning literature, due to…

This is the second of two papers to describe a matrix sparsification algorithm that takes a general real or complex matrix as input and produces a sparse output matrix of the same size. The first paper presented the original algorithm, its…

Standard Gaussian Process (GP) regression, a powerful machine learning tool, is computationally expensive when it is applied to large datasets, and potentially inaccurate when data points are sparsely distributed in a high-dimensional…

A hypergraph spectral sparsifier of a hypergraph $G$ is a weighted subgraph $H$ that approximates the Laplacian of $G$ to a specified precision. Recent work has shown that similar to ordinary graphs, there exist $\widetilde{O}(n)$-size…

This paper considers the problem of regression over distributions, which is becoming increasingly important in machine learning. Existing approaches often ignore the geometry of the probability space or are computationally expensive. To…

Matching a source to a target probability measure is often solved by instantiating a linear optimal transport (OT) problem, parameterized by a ground cost function that quantifies discrepancy between points. When these measures live in the…

Gromov-Hausdorff distances measure shape difference between the objects representable as compact metric spaces, e.g. point clouds, manifolds, or graphs. Computing any Gromov-Hausdorff distance is equivalent to solving an NP-Hard…

CSP sparsification, introduced by Kogan and Krauthgamer (ITCS 2015), considers the following question: how much can an instance of a constraint satisfaction problem be sparsified (by retaining a reweighted subset of the constraints) while…

We investigate the constraint ability of the gravitational wave (GW) as the standard siren on the cosmological parameters by using the third-generation gravitational wave detector: the Einstein Telescope. We simulate the luminosity…

We introduce a new algorithmic framework for designing dynamic graph algorithms in minor-free graphs, by exploiting the structure of such graphs and a tool called vertex sparsification, which is a way to compress large graphs into small…
