The geometric hitting set problem is one of the basic geometric combinatorial optimization problems: given a set $P$ of points, and a set $\mathcal{D}$ of geometric objects in the plane, the goal is to compute a small-sized subset of $P$…

Federated learning is vulnerable to poisoning attacks by malicious adversaries. Existing methods often involve high costs to achieve effective attacks. To address this challenge, we propose a sybil-based virtual data poisoning attack, where…

We consider data poisoning attacks, a class of adversarial attacks on machine learning where an adversary has the power to alter a small fraction of the training data in order to make the trained classifier satisfy certain objectives. While…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, especially white-box targeted attacks. One scheme of learning attacks is to design a proper adversarial objective function that leads to the imperceptible perturbation for…

In adversarial machine learning, new defenses against attacks on deep learning systems are routinely broken soon after their release by more powerful attacks. In this context, forensic tools can offer a valuable complement to existing…

We consider the problem of clustering in the learning-augmented setting, where we are given a data set in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, and a label for each data point given by an oracle indicating what subsets of points should be…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two point sets in the plane of sizes $r$ and $n$ respectively (assume $r \leq n$), and let $k$ be a parameter. A matching between $A$ and $B$ is a family of pairs in $A \times B$ so that any point of $A \cup B$ appears in…

The k Nearest Neighbors (kNN) method has received much attention in the past decades, where some theoretical bounds on its performance were identified and where practical optimizations were proposed for making it work fairly well in high…

Data Poisoning attacks modify training data to maliciously control a model trained on such data. In this work, we focus on targeted poisoning attacks which cause a reclassification of an unmodified test image and as such breach model…

In this article, we consider the Euclidean dispersion problems. Let $P=\{p_{1}, p_{2}, \ldots, p_{n}\}$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For each point $p \in P$ and $S \subseteq P$, we define $cost_{\gamma}(p,S)$ as the sum of…

We give algorithms with running time $2^{O({\sqrt{k}\log{k}})} \cdot n^{O(1)}$ for the following problems. Given an $n$-vertex unit disk graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide whether $G$ contains (1) a path on exactly/at least $k$ vertices,…

We present the first optimal randomized algorithm for constructing the order-$k$ Voronoi diagram of $n$ points in two dimensions. The expected running time is $O(n\log n + nk)$, which improves the previous, two-decades-old result of Ramos…

We give a simple algorithm for decremental graph connectivity that handles edge deletions in worst-case time $O(k \log n)$ and connectivity queries in $O(\log k)$, where $k$ is the number of edges deleted so far, and uses worst-case space…

Space partitions of $\mathbb{R}^d$ underlie a vast and important class of fast nearest neighbor search (NNS) algorithms. Inspired by recent theoretical work on NNS for general metric spaces [Andoni, Naor, Nikolov, Razenshteyn, Waingarten…

The paper presents a polynomial time approximation schema for the edge-weighted version of maximum k-vertex cover problem in bipartite graphs.

In the classical NP-hard metric $k$-median problem, we are given a set of $n$ clients and centers with metric distances between them, along with an integer parameter $k\geq 1$. The objective is to select a subset of $k$ open centers that…

Multi-label classification is a type of supervised learning where an instance may belong to multiple labels simultaneously. Predicting each label independently has been criticized for not exploiting any correlation between labels. In this…

We construct asymptotically optimal adjacency labelling schemes for every hereditary class containing $2^{\Omega(n^2)}$ $n$-vertex graphs as $n\to \infty$. This regime contains many classes of interest, for instance perfect graphs or…

In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm that approximates sufficiently high-value Max 2-CSPs on sufficiently dense graphs to within $O(N^{\varepsilon})$ approximation ratio for any constant $\varepsilon > 0$. Using this…

A partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a $(k,\varepsilon)$-secluded partition if, for every $\vec{p} \in \mathbb{R}^d$, the ball $\overline{B}_{\infty}(\varepsilon, \vec{p})$ intersects at most $k$ members of $\mathcal{P}$. A…
