The geometric median as well as the Frechet mean of points in an Hadamard space are important in both theory and applications. Surprisingly, no algorithms for their computation are hitherto known. To address this issue, we use a split…

We characterize minimal measurement setups for validating the quantum coherence of an unknown quantum state. We show that for a $d$-level system, the optimal strategy consists of measuring $d$ orthonormal bases such that each measured basis…

Uniform random rotations are a useful primitive in applications such as fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings, kernel approximation, communication-efficient learning, and recent AI compression pipelines, but they are computationally…

We consider continuous Dirac operators defined on $\mathbf{R}^d$, $d\in\{1,2,3\}$, together with various discrete versions of them. Both forward-backward and symmetric finite differences are used as approximations to partial derivatives. We…

We show that there are sampling projections on arbitrary $n$-dimensional subspaces of $B(D)$ with at most $2n$ samples and norm of order $\sqrt{n}$, where $B(D)$ is the space of complex-valued bounded functions on a set $D$. This gives a…

We consider approximation of diameter of a set $S$ of $n$ points in dimension $m$. E$\tilde{g}$ecio$\tilde{g}$lu and Kalantari \cite{kal} have shown that given any $p \in S$, by computing its farthest in $S$, say $q$, and in turn the…

This paper considers coresets for the robust $k$-medians problem with $m$ outliers, and new constructions in various metric spaces are obtained. Specifically, for metric spaces with a bounded VC or doubling dimension $d$, the coreset size…

We study Euclidean $k$-Means under the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, focusing on the \emph{fully-scalable} setting. Our main result is a fully-scalable $O((\log n/\log\log n)^2)$-approximation in $O(1)$ rounds. Previously,…

Computational approaches to PDE-constrained optimization under uncertainty may involve finite-dimensional approximations of control and state spaces, sample average approximations of measures of risk and reliability, smooth approximations…

For a symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, the Dvoretzky dimension $k(K)$ is the largest dimension for which a random central section of $K$ is almost spherical. A Dvoretzky-type theorem proved by V.~D.~Milman in 1971 provides a…

Recently, there has been remarkable progress in reinforcement learning (RL) with general function approximation. However, all these works only provide regret or sample complexity guarantees. It is still an open question if one can achieve…

In this article, we consider the following capacitated covering problem. We are given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $\mathcal{B}$ of balls from some metric space, and a positive integer $U$ that represents the capacity of each of the…

We study the convergence rate of Bregman gradient methods for convex optimization in the space of measures on a $d$-dimensional manifold. Under basic regularity assumptions, we show that the suboptimality gap at iteration $k$ is in…

In this paper, we study the problem of multivariate $L_2$-approximation of functions belonging to a weighted Korobov space. We propose and analyze a median lattice-based algorithm, inspired by median integration rules, which have attracted…

We prove a general quantitative theorem on the asymptotic behavior of stochastic quasi-Fej\'er monotone sequences in a broad metric context. Concretely, our result explicitly constructs a rate of convergence for such process, both in mean…

We study the estimation of the reach, an ubiquitous regularity parameter in manifold estimation and geometric data analysis. Given an i.i.d. sample over an unknown $d$-dimensional $\mathcal{C}^k$-smooth submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^D$, we…

Motivated by data analysis and machine learning applications, we consider the popular high-dimensional Euclidean $k$-median and $k$-means problems. We propose a new primal-dual algorithm, inspired by the classic algorithm of Jain and…

We present a new fast approximate algorithm for Tukey (halfspace) depth level sets and its implementation-ABCDepth. Given a $d$-dimensional data set for any $d\geq 1$, the algorithm is based on a representation of level sets as…

In order to study the fundamental limits of network densification, we look at the spatial spectral efficiency gain achieved when densely deployed communication devices embedded in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space are optimally `matched'…

We study approximation algorithms for variants of the \emph{median string} problem, which asks for a string that minimizes the sum of edit distances from a given set of $m$ strings of length $n$. Only the straightforward $2$-approximation…
