Estimating Size of the Union of Sets in Streaming Model

Kuldeep S. Meel, N. V. Vinodchandran, Sourav Chakraborty

We study estimating the size of the union of sets , where each is presented implicitly and arrives in a stream. We introduce Delphic sets, a class of…

Fast Rational Search via Stern-Brocot Tree

Connor Weyers, N. V. Vinodchandran

We revisit the problem of rational search: given an unknown rational number with , the goal is to identify using comparison queries of the…

Point Prediction for Streaming Data

Aleena Chanda, N. V. Vinodchandran, Bertrand Clarke

We present two new approaches for point prediction with streaming data. One is based on the Count-Min sketch (CMS) and the other is based on Gaussian process priors with a random b…

Total Variation Distance for Product Distributions is -Complete

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3

We show that computing the total variation distance between two product distributions is -complete. This is in stark contrast with other distance measures such as Kul…

Total Variation Distance Meets Probabilistic Inference

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3

In this paper, we establish a novel connection between total variation (TV) distance estimation and probabilistic inference. In particular, we present an efficient, structure-prese…

Neighborhood Variants of the KKM Lemma, Lebesgue Covering Theorem, and Sperner's Lemma on the Cube

Jason Vander Woude, Peter Dixon, A. Pavan +2

We establish a "neighborhood" variant of the cubical KKM lemma and the Lebesgue covering theorem and deduce a discretized version which is a "neighborhood" variant of Sperner's lem…

Geometry of Rounding: Near Optimal Bounds and a New Neighborhood Sperner's Lemma

Jason Vander Woude, Peter Dixon, A. Pavan +2

A partition of is called a -secluded partition if, for every , the ball $\overline{B}_{\infty}(\varepsilon,…

List and Certificate Complexities in Replicable Learning

Peter Dixon, A. Pavan, Jason Vander Woude +1

We investigate replicable learning algorithms. Ideally, we would like to design algorithms that output the same canonical model over multiple runs, even when different runs observe…

Constraint Optimization over Semirings

A. Pavan, Kuldeep S. Meel, N. V. Vinodchandran +1

Interpretations of logical formulas over semirings have applications in various areas of computer science including logic, AI, databases, and security. Such interpretations provide…

On Approximating Total Variation Distance

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3

Total variation distance (TV distance) is a fundamental notion of distance between probability distributions. In this work, we introduce and study the problem of computing the TV d…

Efficient inference of interventional distributions

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Saravanan Kandasamy +2

We consider the problem of efficiently inferring interventional distributions in a causal Bayesian network from a finite number of observations. Let be a causal model…

Model Counting meets F0 Estimation

A. Pavan, N. V. Vinodchandran, Arnab Bhattacharyya +1

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSP's) and data stream models are two powerful abstractions to capture a wide variety of problems arising in different domains of computer science…

Testing Product Distributions: A Closer Look

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Saravanan Kandasamy +1

We study the problems of identity and closeness testing of -dimensional product distributions. Prior works by Canonne, Diakonikolas, Kane and Stewart (COLT 2017) and Daskalakis…

Near-Optimal Learning of Tree-Structured Distributions by Chow-Liu

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Eric Price +1

We provide finite sample guarantees for the classical Chow-Liu algorithm (IEEE Trans.~Inform.~Theory, 1968) to learn a tree-structured graphical model of a distribution. For a dist…

Learning and Sampling of Atomic Interventions from Observations

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Saravanan Kandasamy +2

We study the problem of efficiently estimating the effect of an intervention on a single variable (atomic interventions) using observational samples in a causal Bayesian network. O…

On optimal language compression for sets in PSPACE/poly

N. V. Vinodchandran, Marius Zimand

We show that if DTIME[2^O(n)] is not included in DSPACE[2^o(n)], then, for every set B in PSPACE/poly, all strings x in B of length n can be represented by a string compressed(x) o…
