We give a near-optimal quantum algorithm for the longest common substring (LCS) problem between two run-length encoded (RLE) strings, with the assumption that the prefix-sums of the run-lengths are given. Our algorithm costs…

We develop simple and general techniques to obtain faster (near-linear time) static approximation algorithms, as well as efficient dynamic data structures, for four fundamental geometric optimization problems: minimum piercing set (MPS),…

Submodular optimization generalizes many classic problems in combinatorial optimization and has recently found a wide range of applications in machine learning (e.g., feature engineering and active learning). For many large-scale…

Packing problems constitute an important class of optimization problems, both because of their high practical relevance and theoretical appeal. However, despite the large number of variants that have been studied in the literature, most…

We present efficient data structures for submatrix maximum queries in Monge matrices and Monge partial matrices. For $n\times n$ Monge matrices, we give a data structure that requires O(n) space and answers submatrix maximum queries in…

A fundamental question that shrouds the emergence of massively parallel computing (MPC) platforms is how can the additional power of the MPC paradigm be leveraged to achieve faster algorithms compared to classical parallel models such as…

Consider the classical Min-Sum Set Cover problem: We are given a universe $\mathcal{U}$ of $n$ elements and a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of $k$ subsets of $\mathcal{U}$. Moreover, a cost function is associated with each set. The goal is to…

The first output-sensitive algorithm for the Maximal Clique Listing problem was given by Tsukiyama et.al. in 1977. As any algorithm falling within the Reverse Search paradigm, it performs a DFS visit of a directed tree (the RS-tree) having…

Correlation Clustering is a fundamental and widely-studied problem in unsupervised learning and data mining. The input is a graph and the goal is to construct a clustering minimizing the number of inter-cluster edges plus the number of…

In this paper, we propose a data structure, a quadruple neighbor list (QN-list, for short), to support real time queries of all longest increasing subsequence (LIS) and LIS with constraints over sequential data streams. The QN-List built by…

Several large-scale machine learning tasks, such as data summarization, can be approached by maximizing functions that satisfy submodularity. These optimization problems often involve complex side constraints, imposed by the underlying…

Computing the simulation preorder of a given Kripke structure (i.e., a directed graph with $n$ labeled vertices) has crucial applications in model checking of temporal logic. It amounts to solving a specific two-players reachability game,…

We consider the computation of the permanent of a binary n by n matrix. It is well- known that the exact computation is a #P complete problem. A variety of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computational algorithms have been introduced in the…

In this paper, we consider the unconstrained submodular maximization problem. We propose the first algorithm for this problem that achieves a tight $(1/2-\varepsilon)$-approximation guarantee using $\tilde{O}(\varepsilon^{-1})$ adaptive…

Pattern matching is a fundamental process in almost every scientific domain. The problem involves finding the positions of a given pattern (usually of short length) in a reference stream of data (usually of large length). The matching can…

The emergence of huge-scale, data-intensive linear optimization (LO) problems in applications such as machine learning has driven the need for more computationally efficient interior point methods (IPMs). While conventional IPMs are…

Given a convex function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with an integer minimizer, we show how to find an exact minimizer of $f$ using $O(n^2 \log n)$ calls to a separation oracle and $O(n^4 \log n)$ time. The previous best polynomial time algorithm…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two number sequences of length $n$ and $m$, respectively, where $m\le n$. Given a positive number $\delta$, a common almost increasing sequence $s_1\ldots s_k$ is a common subsequence for both $A$ and $B$ such that for…

Given real numbers whose sum is an integer, we study the problem of finding integers which match these real numbers as closely as possible, in the sense of L^p norm, while preserving the sum. We describe the structure of solutions for this…

In this work, we consider the problem of computing triangular bases of integral closures of one-dimensional local rings. Let $(K, v)$ be a discrete valued field with valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ and let $\mathfrak{m}$ be the maximal ideal.…
