We propose a family of recursive cutting-plane algorithms to solve feasibility problems with constrained memory, which can also be used for first-order convex optimization. Precisely, in order to find a point within a ball of radius…

Spanners have been shown to be a powerful tool in graph algorithms. Many spanner constructions use a certain type of clustering at their core, where each cluster has small diameter and there are relatively few spanner edges between…

Cluster analysis faces two problems in high dimensions: first, the `curse of dimensionality' that can lead to overfitting and poor generalization performance; and second, the sheer time taken for conventional algorithms to process large…

We study the complexity of geometric problems on spaces of low fractal dimension. It was recently shown by [Sidiropoulos & Sridhar, SoCG 2017] that several problems admit improved solutions when the input is a pointset in Euclidean space…

In this paper we provide oracle complexity lower bounds for finding a point in a given set using a memory-constrained algorithm that has access to a separation oracle. We assume that the set is contained within the unit $d$-dimensional ball…

A fundamental challenge for machine learning models is generalizing to out-of-distribution (OOD) data, in part due to spurious correlations. To tackle this challenge, we first formalize the OOD generalization problem as constrained…

In this paper, we present two low complexity algorithms that achieve capacity for the noiseless (d,k) constrained channel when k=2d+1, or when k-d+1 is not prime. The first algorithm, called symbol sliding, is a generalized version of the…

In the online sorting problem, a sequence of $n$ numbers in $[0, 1]$ (including $\{0,1\}$) have to be inserted in an array of size $m \ge n$ so as to minimize the sum of absolute differences between pairs of numbers occupying consecutive…

Traditional orthogonal range problems allow queries over a static set of points, each with some value. Dynamic variants allow points to be added or removed, one at a time. To support more powerful updates, we introduce the Grid Range class…

The goal of this thesis is to study the compression problems arising in distributed computing systematically. In the first part of the thesis, we study gradient compression for distributed first-order optimization. We begin by establishing…

Scaling multinomial logistic regression to datasets with very large number of data points and classes is challenging. This is primarily because one needs to compute the log-partition function on every data point. This makes distributing the…

In the Subspace Clustering with Missing Data (SCMD) problem, we are given a collection of n partially observed d-dimensional vectors. The data points are assumed to be concentrated near a union of low-dimensional subspaces. The goal of SCMD…

Data compression is a well-studied (and well-solved) problem in the setup of long coding blocks. But important emerging applications need to compress data to memory words of small fixed widths. This new setup is the subject of this paper.…

Optimal modulation (OM) schemes for Gaussian channels with peak and average power constraints are known to require nonuniform probability distributions over signal points, which presents practical challenges. An established way to map…

Specific data compression techniques, formalized by the concept of coresets, proved to be powerful for many optimization problems. In fact, while tightly controlling the approximation error, coresets may lead to significant speed up of the…

Optimal transport has been used extensively in resource matching to promote the efficiency of resources usages by matching sources to targets. However, it requires a significant amount of computations and storage spaces for large-scale…

The use of distributed optimization in machine learning can be motivated either by the resulting preservation of privacy or the increase in computational efficiency. On the one hand, training data might be stored across multiple devices.…

In the first part of this paper we develop some theorems in linear algebra applicable to information theory when all random variables involved are linear functions of the individual bits of a source of independent bits. We say that a…

Privacy has traditionally been a major motivation for distributed problem solving. Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem (DisCSP) as well as Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) are fundamental models used to solve…

Reliable and accurate estimation of the error of an ML model in unseen test domains is an important problem for safe intelligent systems. Prior work uses disagreement discrepancy (DIS^2) to derive practical error bounds under distribution…
