We propose a simple O([n^5/\log n]L) algorithm for linear programming feasibility, that can be considered as a polynomial-time implementation of the relaxation method. Our work draws from Chubanov's "Divide-and-Conquer" algorithm [4], where…
A decentralized search algorithm is a method of routing on a random graph that uses only limited, local, information about the realization of the graph. In some random graph models it is possible to define such algorithms which produce…
Random backpropagation (RBP) is a variant of the backpropagation algorithm for training neural networks, where the transpose of the forward matrices are replaced by fixed random matrices in the calculation of the weight updates. It is…
A new time relaxation model with iterative modified Lavrentiev regularization method is studied. The aim of the relaxation term is to drive the unresolved fluctuations in a computational simulation to zero exponentially faster by an…
The randomized projection (RP) method is a simple iterative scheme for solving linear feasibility problems and has recently gained popularity due to its speed and low memory requirement. This paper develops an accelerated variant of the…
The method of random projections has become very popular for large-scale applications in statistical learning, information retrieval, bio-informatics and other applications. Using a well-designed coding scheme for the projected data, which…
Randomized mechanisms, which map a set of bids to a probability distribution over outcomes rather than a single outcome, are an important but ill-understood area of computational mechanism design. We investigate the role of randomized…
The linear programming (LP) approach is, together with value iteration and policy iteration, one of the three fundamental methods to solve optimal control problems in a dynamic programming setting. Despite its simple formulation,…
Kernel based regularized interpolation is a well known technique to approximate a continuous multivariate function using a set of scattered data points and the corresponding function evaluations, or data values. This method has some…
Randomized protocols are procedures that incorporate probabilistic choices during their execution and they play a central role in quantum algorithms, spanning Hamiltonian simulation, noise mitigation, and measurement tasks. In practical…
In this paper, we present novel randomized algorithms for solving saddle point problems whose dual feasible region is given by the direct product of many convex sets. Our algorithms can achieve an ${\cal O}(1/N)$ and ${\cal O}(1/N^2)$ rate…
We consider approximation algorithms for covering integer programs of the form min $\langle c, x \rangle $ over $x \in \mathbb{N}^n $ subject to $A x \geq b $ and $x \leq d$; where $A \in \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^{m \times n}$, $b \in…
Regularization-based approaches for injecting constraints in Machine Learning (ML) were introduced to improve a predictive model via expert knowledge. We tackle the issue of finding the right balance between the loss (the accuracy of the…
The Kaczmarz algorithm is an iterative method that solves linear systems of equations. It stands out among iterative algorithms when dealing with large systems for two reasons. First, at each iteration, the Kaczmarz algorithm uses a single…
Discrete inverse problems correspond to solving a system of equations in a stable way with respect to noise in the data. A typical approach to enforce uniqueness and select a meaningful solution is to introduce a regularizer. While for most…
The process of drawing electoral district boundaries is known as political redistricting. Within this context, gerrymandering is the practice of drawing these boundaries such that they unfairly favor a particular political party, often…
Hinging on ideas from physical-layer network coding, some promising proposals of coded random access systems seek to improve system performance (while preserving low complexity) by means of packet repetitions and decoding of linear…
We give a lower bound on the iteration complexity of a natural class of Lagrangean-relaxation algorithms for approximately solving packing/covering linear programs. We show that, given an input with $m$ random 0/1-constraints on $n$…
We analyze convergence rates of stochastic optimization procedures for non-smooth convex optimization problems. By combining randomized smoothing techniques with accelerated gradient methods, we obtain convergence rates of stochastic…
Modern applications require methods that are computationally feasible on large datasets but also preserve statistical efficiency. Frequently, these two concerns are seen as contradictory: approximation methods that enable computation are…
