Selective classification enhances the reliability of predictive models by allowing them to abstain from making uncertain predictions. In this work, we revisit the design of optimal selection functions through the lens of the Neyman--Pearson…

A subset of Q^n is called semilinear (or piecewise linear) if it is Boolean combination of linear half-spaces. We study the computational complexity of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) over the rationals when all the constraints…

A set of vertices in a graph forms a potential maximal clique if there exists a minimal chordal completion in which it is a maximal clique. Potential maximal cliques were first introduced as a key tool to obtain an efficient, though…

A map between manifolds induces stratifications of both the source and the target according to the occurring multisingularities. In this paper, we study universal expressions-called higher Thom polynomials-that describe the…

Can easy sets only have easy certificate schemes? In this paper, we study the class of sets that, for all NP certificate schemes (i.e., NP machines), always have easy acceptance certificates (i.e., accepting paths) that can be computed in…

We study the question of whether every P set has an easy (i.e., polynomial-time computable) census function. We characterize this question in terms of unlikely collapses of language and function classes such as the containment of #P_1 in…

The subpower membership problem SMP(A) of a finite algebraic structure A asks whether a given partial function from A^k to A can be interpolated by a term operation of A, or not. While this problem can be EXPTIME-complete in general,…

We show that static data structure lower bounds in the group (linear) model imply semi-explicit lower bounds on matrix rigidity. In particular, we prove that an explicit lower bound of $t \geq \omega(\log^2 n)$ on the cell-probe complexity…

The Skolem Problem asks to determine whether a given integer linear recurrence sequence has a zero term. This problem arises across a wide range of topics in computer science, including loop termination, formal languages, automata theory,…

Deploying deep neural networks for risk-sensitive tasks necessitates an uncertainty estimation mechanism. This paper introduces hierarchical selective classification, extending selective classification to a hierarchical setting. Our…

We examine a parameterized complexity class for randomized computation where only the error bound and not the full runtime is allowed to depend more than polynomially on the parameter, based on a proposal by Kwisthout in [15,16]. We prove…

We study the class of rational recursive sequences (ratrec) over the rational numbers. A ratrec sequence is defined via a system of sequences using mutually recursive equations of depth 1, where the next values are computed as rational…

A celebrated theorem in Real Algebraic and Analytic Geometry (originally due to Bruhat-Cartan and Wallace and stated later in its current form by Milnor) is the (Nash) curve selection lemma. It states that each point in the closure of a…

We present a pumping lemma for each level of the collapsible pushdown graph hierarchy in analogy to the second author's pumping lemma for higher-order pushdown graphs (without collapse). Using this lemma, we give the first known examples…

Let $(Y,X_1,...,X_m)$ be a random vector. It is desired to predict $Y$ based on $(X_1,...,X_m)$. Examples of prediction methods are regression, classification using logistic regression or separating hyperplanes, and so on. We consider the…

The polynomial hierarchy has been widely studied in classical complexity theory. In this paper, we will generalize some commonly known results about the polynomial hierarchy to a version of the hierarchy extended to promise problems. This…

This paper proposes new notions of polynomial depth (called monotone poly depth), based on a polynomial version of monotone Kolmogorov complexity. We show that monotone poly depth satisfies all desirable properties of depth notions i.e.,…

We consider the problem of computing matrix polynomials $p(X)$, where $X$ is a large dense matrix, with as few matrix-matrix multiplications as possible. More precisely, let $\Pi_{2^{m}}^*$ represent the set of polynomials computable with…

In this paper we study scalar multivariate subdivision schemes with general integer expanding dilation matrix. Our main result yields simple algebraic conditions on the symbols of such schemes that characterize their polynomial…

The $p$-set, which is in a simple analytic form, is well distributed in unit cubes. The well-known Weil's exponential sum theorem presents an upper bound of the exponential sum over the $p$-set. Based on the result, one shows that the…
