This paper studies the use of kernel density estimation (KDE) for linear algebraic tasks involving the kernel matrix of a collection of $n$ data points in $\mathbb R^d$. In particular, we improve upon existing algorithms for computing the…

The query model offers a concrete setting where quantum algorithms are provably superior to randomized algorithms. Beautiful results by Bernstein-Vazirani, Simon, Aaronson, and others presented partial Boolean functions that can be computed…

We study the fundamental problem of estimating the mean of a $d$-dimensional distribution with covariance $\Sigma \preccurlyeq \sigma^2 I_d$ given $n$ samples. When $d = 1$, \cite{catoni} showed an estimator with error $(1+o(1)) \cdot…

A classical result of Steinitz from 1913 \cite{Ste13}, answering an earlier question of Riemann and L\'evy (e.g., \cite{Lev05}), states that for any norm $\|\cdot\|$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and any set of vectors $v_1, \cdots, v_n \in \R^d$…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have numerous applications across various domains. Several optimization techniques, such as ResNet and SENet, have been proposed to improve model accuracy. These techniques improve the model performance by…

Kernel quadrature is widely used to approximate integrals of smooth functions, with worst-case error typically decaying at the minimax rate $n^{-\alpha/d}$ for smoothness $\alpha$ in dimension $d$. Existing rate-optimal methods often depend…

Motivated by the increasing use of kernel-based metrics for high-dimensional and large-scale data, we study the asymptotic behavior of kernel two-sample tests when the dimension and sample sizes both diverge to infinity. We focus on the…

We develop two approaches for analyzing the approximation error bound for the Nystr\"{o}m method, one based on the concentration inequality of integral operator, and one based on the compressive sensing theory. We show that the…

Kernel survival analysis models estimate individual survival distributions with the help of a kernel function, which measures the similarity between any two data points. Such a kernel function can be learned using deep kernel survival…

We study quadrature rules for functions from an RKHS, using nodes sampled from a determinantal point process (DPP). DPPs are parametrized by a kernel, and we use a truncated and saturated version of the RKHS kernel. This link between the…

Grid clustering algorithms are valued for their efficiency in large-scale data analysis but face persistent limitations: parameter sensitivity, loss of structural detail at coarse resolutions, and misclassifications of edge or bridge cells…

This paper investigates guesswork over ordered statistics and formulates the achievable guesswork complexity of ordered statistics decoding (OSD) in binary additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. The achievable guesswork complexity…

Kernel matrices, as well as weighted graphs represented by them, are ubiquitous objects in machine learning, statistics and other related fields. The main drawback of using kernel methods (learning and inference using kernel matrices) is…

We study the problem of discrete distribution estimation in KL divergence and provide concentration bounds for the Laplace estimator. We show that the deviation from mean scales as $\sqrt{k}/n$ when $n \ge k$, improving upon the best prior…

This paper studies randomized polynomial kernelization for the weighted $d$-matroid intersection problem. While the problem is known to have a kernel of size $O(d^{(k - 1)d})$ where $k$ is the solution size, the existence of a polynomial…

Tensor networks have been an important concept and technique in many research areas, such as quantum computation and machine learning. We study the exponential complexity of contracting tensor networks on two special graph structures:…

We devise $\epsilon$-coresets for robust $(k,z)$-Clustering with $m$ outliers through black-box reductions to vanilla case. Given an $\epsilon$-coreset construction for vanilla clustering with size $N$, we construct coresets of size $N\cdot…

Kernel density estimators with circular data have been studied extensively for decades, as they allow flexible estimations even when the shape of the underlying density is complex. Many recent studies have examined bias correction methods;…

We present an efficient parallel derandomization method for randomized algorithms that rely on concentrations such as the Chernoff bound. This settles a classic problem in parallel derandomization, which dates back to the 1980s. Consider…

We study density thresholds that force a measurable set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ to contain all sufficiently large similar copies of every $n$-point configuration. We prove a lower bound of the form $1-O((\log n)/n)$, which matches the…
