We address the statistical issue of determining the maximal spaces (maxisets) where model selection procedures attain a given rate of convergence. By considering first general dictionaries, then orthonormal bases, we characterize these…

Unconstrained submodular maximization captures many NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, including Max-Cut, Max-Di-Cut, and variants of facility location problems. Recently, Buchbinder et al. presented a surprisingly simple linear…

In the setting of high-dimensional linear models with Gaussian noise, we investigate the possibility of confidence statements connected to model selection. Although there exist numerous procedures for adaptive point estimation, the…

We give the first efficient algorithm for learning halfspaces in the testable learning model recently defined by Rubinfeld and Vasilyan (2023). In this model, a learner certifies that the accuracy of its output hypothesis is near optimal…

We study the Max-Cut semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation in the regime where a near-optimal solution admits a low-dimensional realization. While the Goemans--Williamson hyperplane rounding achieves the worst-case optimal approximation…

We study semidefinite programs with diagonal constraints. This problem class appears in combinatorial optimization and has a wide range of engineering applications such as in circuit design, channel assignment in wireless networks, phase…

Modern machine learning classifiers often exhibit vanishing classification error on the training set. They achieve this by learning nonlinear representations of the inputs that maps the data into linearly separable classes. Motivated by…

Randomized approximation algorithms for many #P-complete problems (such as the partition function of a Gibbs distribution, the volume of a convex body, the permanent of a $\{0,1\}$-matrix, and many others) reduce to creating random…

The goal of ordinal embedding is to represent items as points in a low-dimensional Euclidean space given a set of constraints in the form of distance comparisons like "item $i$ is closer to item $j$ than item $k$". Ordinal constraints like…

We study sublinear algorithms for two fundamental graph problems, MAXCUT and correlation clustering. Our focus is on constructing core-sets as well as developing streaming algorithms for these problems. Constant space algorithms are known…

Estimating a binary vector from noisy linear measurements is a prototypical problem for MIMO systems. A popular algorithm, called the box-relaxation decoder, estimates the target signal by solving a least squares problem with convex…

An instance of the Connected Maximum Cut problem consists of an undirected graph G = (V, E) and the goal is to find a subset of vertices S $\subseteq$ V that maximizes the number of edges in the cut \delta(S) such that the induced graph…

This paper establishes a nearly optimal algorithm for estimating the frequencies and amplitudes of a mixture of sinusoids from noisy equispaced samples. We derive our algorithm by viewing line spectral estimation as a sparse recovery…

In this paper we revisit the risk bounds of the lasso estimator in the context of transductive and semi-supervised learning. In other terms, the setting under consideration is that of regression with random design under partial labeling.…

The growing amount of applications that generate vast amount of data in short time scales render the problem of partial monitoring, coupled with prediction, a rather fundamental one. We study the aforementioned canonical problem under the…

We study the problem of computing the minimum cut in a weighted distributed message-passing networks (the CONGEST model). Let $\lambda$ be the minimum cut, $n$ be the number of nodes in the network, and $D$ be the network diameter. Our…

In the Min $k$-Cut problem, input is an edge weighted graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the task is to partition the vertex set into $k$ non-empty sets, such that the total weight of the edges with endpoints in different parts is minimized.…

We consider the semi-random graph model of [Makarychev, Makarychev and Vijayaraghavan, STOC'12], where, given a random bipartite graph with $\alpha$ edges and an unknown bipartition $(A, B)$ of the vertex set, an adversary can add arbitrary…

Given $\epsilon \in (0,1)$, a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^p$ and a semi-algebraic set $K\subset X\times\Omega$, we consider the feasible set $X^*_\epsilon=\{x\in X:{\rm Prob}[(x,\omega)\in K]\geq 1-\epsilon\}$…

We develop an randomized approximation algorithm for the size of set union problem $\arrowvert A_1\cup A_2\cup...\cup A_m\arrowvert$, which given a list of sets $A_1,...,A_m$ with approximate set size $m_i$ for $A_i$ with $m_i\in…
