k-server via multiscale entropic regularization

Sebastien Bubeck, Michael B. Cohen, James R. Lee +2

We present an -competitive randomized algorithm for the -server problem on hierarchically separated trees (HSTs). This is the first -competitive randomized…

Sparsity, variance and curvature in multi-armed bandits

Sébastien Bubeck, Michael B. Cohen, Yuanzhi Li

In (online) learning theory the concepts of sparsity, variance and curvature are well-understood and are routinely used to obtain refined regret and generalization bounds. In this…

Geometric Median in Nearly Linear Time

Michael B. Cohen, Yin Tat Lee, Gary Miller +2

In this paper we provide faster algorithms for solving the geometric median problem: given points in compute a point that minimizes the sum of Euclidean distan…

Online Row Sampling

Michael B. Cohen, Cameron Musco, Jakub Pachocki

Finding a small spectral approximation for a tall matrix is a fundamental numerical primitive. For a number of reasons, one often seeks an approximation whose rows…

Ramanujan Graphs in Polynomial Time

Michael B. Cohen

The recent work by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava proves the existence of bipartite Ramanujan (multi)graphs of all degrees and all sizes. However, that paper did not provide a pol…

Approximating Nearest Neighbor Distances

Michael B. Cohen, Brittany Terese Fasy, Gary L. Miller +3

Several researchers proposed using non-Euclidean metrics on point sets in Euclidean space for clustering noisy data. Almost always, a distance function is desired that recognizes t…
