We consider the problem of robust mean and location estimation w.r.t. any pseudo-norm of the form $x\in\mathbb{R}^d\to ||x||_S = \sup_{v\in S}<v,x>$ where $S$ is any symmetric subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show that the deviation-optimal…

We study approximation of embeddings between finite dimensional L_p spaces in the quantum model of computation. For the quantum query complexity of this problem matching (up to logarithmic factors) upper and lower bounds are obtained. The…

Consider the length $L_{MM}^E$ of the minimum matching of N points in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Using numerical simulations and the finite size scaling law $< L_{MM}^E > = \beta_{MM}^E(d) N^{1-1/d}(1+A/N+... )$, we obtain precise…

Embedding-based representations in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ are a cornerstone of modern machine learning, where a major goal is to use the \emph{smallest dimension} that faithfully captures data relations. In this work, we prove sharp…

Sliced Wasserstein distances preserve properties of classic Wasserstein distances while being more scalable for computation and estimation in high dimensions. The goal of this work is to quantify this scalability from three key aspects: (i)…

In this article, we study the (d-1)-volume and the covering numbers of the medial axis of a compact set of the Euclidean d-space. In general, this volume is infinite; however, the (d-1)-volume and covering numbers of a filtered medial axis…

In this paper, we study the problems of computing the 1-center, centroid, and 1-median of objects moving with bounded speed in Euclidean space. We can acquire the exact location of only a constant number of objects (usually one) per unit…

We consider the problem of digitalizing Euclidean segments. Specifically, we look for a constructive method to connect any two points in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. The construction must be {\em consistent} (that is, satisfy the natural extension of…

Distances are pervasive in machine learning. They serve as similarity measures, loss functions, and learning targets; it is said that a good distance measure solves a task. When defining distances, the triangle inequality has proven to be a…

We develop a new analysis of sampling-based motion planning in Euclidean space with uniform random sampling, which significantly improves upon the celebrated result of Karaman and Frazzoli (2011) and subsequent work. Particularly, we prove…

In the discrete $k$-center problem, we are given a metric space $(P,\texttt{dist})$ where $|P|=n$ and the goal is to select a set $C\subseteq P$ of $k$ centers which minimizes the maximum distance of a point in $P$ from its nearest center.…

We introduce a new distance-preserving compact representation of multi-dimensional point-sets. Given $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space where each coordinate is represented using $B$ bits (i.e., $dB$ bits per point), it produces a…

Federated learning allows each client to keep its data locally when training machine learning models in a distributed setting. Significant recent research established the requirements that the input must satisfy in order to guarantee…

In dimension $d$, Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) are a collection of orthonormal bases over $\mathbb{C}^d$ such that for any two vectors $v_1, v_2$ belonging to different bases, the scalar product $|\braket{v_1|v_2}| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}$.…

We present an optimal strategy having finite outcomes for estimating a single parameter of the displacement operator on an arbitrary finite dimensional system using a finite number of identical samples. Assuming the uniform {\it a priori}…

We prove the large-dimensional Gaussian approximation of a sum of $n$ independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ together with fourth-moment error bounds on convex sets and Euclidean balls. We show that compared with classical…

We study the problem of robustly estimating the mean of a $d$-dimensional distribution given $N$ examples, where most coordinates of every example may be missing and $\varepsilon N$ examples may be arbitrarily corrupted. Assuming each…

Kernel techniques are among the most popular and flexible approaches in data science allowing to represent probability measures without loss of information under mild conditions. The resulting mapping called mean embedding gives rise to a…

We examine Lagrangian techniques for computing underapproximations of finite-time horizon, stochastic reach-avoid level-sets for discrete-time, nonlinear systems. We use the concept of reachability of a target tube in the control literature…

In this paper, we study the problem of computing the diameter of a set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space for a fixed dimension $d$, and propose a new $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^{d-1})$…
