Sparse Model Soups: A Recipe for Improved Pruning via Model Averaging

Max Zimmer, Christoph Spiegel, Sebastian Pokutta

Neural networks can be significantly compressed by pruning, yielding sparse models with reduced storage and computational demands while preserving predictive performance. Model sou…

The Rado Multiplicity Problem in Vector Spaces over Finite Fields

Juanjo Rué, Christoph Spiegel

We study an analogue of the Ramsey multiplicity problem for additive structures, in particular establishing the minimum number of monochromatic 3-APs in 3-colorings of $\mathbb{F}_…

New Ramsey Multiplicity Bounds and Search Heuristics

Olaf Parczyk, Sebastian Pokutta, Christoph Spiegel +1

We study two related problems concerning the number of homogeneous subsets of given size in graphs that go back to questions of Erdős. Most notably, we improve the upper bounds on…

Compression-aware Training of Neural Networks using Frank-Wolfe

Max Zimmer, Christoph Spiegel, Sebastian Pokutta

Many existing Neural Network pruning approaches rely on either retraining or inducing a strong bias in order to converge to a sparse solution throughout training. A third paradigm,…

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Retraining

Max Zimmer, Christoph Spiegel, Sebastian Pokutta

Many Neural Network Pruning approaches consist of several iterative training and pruning steps, seemingly losing a significant amount of their performance after pruning and then re…

Deep Neural Network Training with Frank-Wolfe

Sebastian Pokutta, Christoph Spiegel, Max Zimmer

This paper studies the empirical efficacy and benefits of using projection-free first-order methods in the form of Conditional Gradients, a.k.a. Frank-Wolfe methods, for training N…

Projection-Free Adaptive Gradients for Large-Scale Optimization

Cyrille W. Combettes, Christoph Spiegel, Sebastian Pokutta

The complexity in large-scale optimization can lie in both handling the objective function and handling the constraint set. In this respect, stochastic Frank-Wolfe algorithms occup…

Independent Chains in Acyclic Posets

Nika Salia, Christoph Spiegel, Casey Tompkins +1

We consider the problem of determining the maximum order of an induced vertex-disjoint union of cliques in a graph. More specifically, given some family of graphs of…

On strong infinite Sidon and sets and random sets of integers

David Fabian, Juanjo Rué, Christoph Spiegel

A set of integers is an -strong Sidon set if the pairwise sums of its elements are far apart by a certain measure depending on , more specifically if $…

An Erdős--Fuchs Theorem for Ordered Representation Functions

Gonzalo Cao-Labora, Juanjo Rué, Christoph Spiegel

Let be a positive integer. We study concentration results for the ordered representation functions $r^{\leq}_k(A,n) = \# \big\{ (a_1 \leq \dots \leq a_k) \in A^k : a_1+\d…

On the Odd Cycle Game and Connected Rules

Jan Corsten, Adva Mond, Alexey Pokrovskiy +2

We study the positional game where two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately select respectively and previously unclaimed edges of . Maker wins if she succeeds in cl…

Another Note on Intervals in the Hales-Jewett Theorem

Nina Kamčev, Christoph Spiegel

The Hales-Jewett Theorem states that any -colouring of contains a monochromatic combinatorial line if is large enough. Shelah's proof of the theorem implies that for…

Additive Volume of Sets Contained in Few Arithmetic Progressions

Gregory A. Freiman, Oriol Serra, Christoph Spiegel

A conjecture of Freiman gives an exact formula for the largest volume of a finite set of integers with given cardinality and doubling . The formula is known…

A step beyond Freiman's theorem for set addition modulo a prime

Pablo Candela, Oriol Serra, Christoph Spiegel

Freiman's 2.4-Theorem states that any set satisfying and can be covered by an arithmetic progression of length at most…

On a problem of Sárközy and Sós for multivariate linear forms

Juanjo Rué, Christoph Spiegel

We prove that for pairwise co-prime numbers there does not exist any infinite set of positive integers such that the representation function $r_A (n) = \…

On the optimality of the uniform random strategy

Christopher Kusch, Juanjo Rué, Christoph Spiegel +1

The concept of biased Maker-Breaker games, introduced by Chvátal and Erd{\H o}s, is a central topic in the field of positional games, with deep connections to the theory of random…

A Note on Sparse Supersaturation and Extremal Results for Linear Homogeneous Systems

Christoph Spiegel

We study the thresholds for the property of containing a solution to a linear homogeneous system in random sets. We expand a previous sparse Szémeredi-type result of Schacht to the…

Threshold functions and Poisson convergence for systems of equations in random sets

Juanjo Rué, Christoph Spiegel, Ana Zumalacárregui

We present a unified framework to study threshold functions for the existence of solutions to linear systems of equations in random sets which includes arithmetic progressions, sum…
