The Generalized Reparameterization Gradient
Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Michalis K. Titsias, David M. Blei
The reparameterization gradient has become a widely used method to obtain Monte Carlo gradients to optimize the variational objective. However, this technique does not easily apply…
Coverage, Matching, and Beyond: New Results on Budgeted Mechanism Design
Georgios Amanatidis, Georgios Birmpas, Evangelos Markakis
We study a type of reverse (procurement) auction problems in the presence of budget constraints. The general algorithmic problem is to purchase a set of resources, which come at a…
K-clique-graphs for Dense Subgraph Discovery
G. Nikolentzos, P. Meladianos, Y. Stavrakas +1
Finding dense subgraphs in a graph is a fundamental graph mining task, with applications in several fields. Algorithms for identifying dense subgraphs are used in biology, in finan…
Variations of Power-Expected-Posterior Priors in Normal Regression Models
Dimitris Fouskakis, Ioannis Ntzoufras, Konstantinos Perrakis
The power-expected-posterior (PEP) prior is an objective prior for Gaussian linear models, which leads to consistent model selection inference, under the M-closed scenario, and ten…
On Truthful Mechanisms for Maximin Share Allocations
Georgios Amanatidis, Georgios Birmpas, Evangelos Markakis
We study a fair division problem with indivisible items, namely the computation of maximin share allocations. Given a set of players, the maximin share of a single player is th…
On the Shoshan-Zwick Algorithm for the All-Pairs Shortest Path Problem
Pavlos Eirinakis, Matthew Williamson, K. Subramani
The Shoshan-Zwick algorithm solves the all pairs shortest paths problem in undirected graphs with integer edge costs in the range . It runs in $\tilde{O}(M\cdot…
Overdispersed Black-Box Variational Inference
Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Michalis K. Titsias, David M. Blei
We introduce overdispersed black-box variational inference, a method to reduce the variance of the Monte Carlo estimator of the gradient in black-box variational inference. Instead…
Scheduling MapReduce Jobs under Multi-Round Precedences
Dimitris Fotakis, Ioannis Milis, Orestis Papadigenopoulos +2
We consider non-preemptive scheduling of MapReduce jobs with multiple tasks in the practical scenario where each job requires several map-reduce rounds. We seek to minimize the ave…
Object-oriented Packet Caching for ICN
Yannis Thomas, George Xylomenos, Christos Tsilopoulos +1
One of the most discussed features offered by Information-centric Networking (ICN) architectures is the ability to support packet-level caching at every node in the network. By ind…
Polynomial approximations to continuous functions and stochastic compositions
Takis Konstantopoulos, Linglong Yuan, Michael A. Zazanis
This paper presents a stochastic approach to theorems concerning the behavior of iterations of the Bernstein operator taking a continuous function to a degree-…
Thinning and Information Projections
Peter Harremoës, Oliver Johnson, Ioannis Kontoyiannis
In this paper we establish lower bounds on information divergence of a distribution on the integers from a Poisson distribution. These lower bounds are tight and in the cases where…
Streaming Big Data meets Backpressure in Distributed Network Computation
Apostolos Destounis, Georgios S. Paschos, Iordanis Koutsopoulos
We study network response to queries that require computation of remotely located data and seek to characterize the performance limits in terms of maximum sustainable query rate th…
