Stronger Memory-Query Tradeoffs for Convex Optimization: The Limitations of Subquadratic Memory

Michael Menart, Aleksandar Nikolov, Ohad Shamir

We prove two lower bounds for the first order oracle complexity of minimizing a -dimensional -Lipschitz convex function over the unit ball with bits of memory. We first s…

On the Gradient Complexity of Private Optimization with Private Oracles

Michael Menart, Aleksandar Nikolov

We study the running time, in terms of first order oracle queries, of differentially private empirical/population risk minimization of Lipschitz convex losses. We first consider th…

Online Matrix Factorization, Online Private Query Release, and Online Discrepancy Minimization

Aleksandar Nikolov, Haohua Tang, Jonathan Ullman

In this paper we consider several related online computation problems. First, we study answering sequences of statistical queries arriving online, and being answered immediately wh…

Discrepancy of Arithmetic Progressions in Boxes and Convex Bodies

Lily Li, Aleksandar Nikolov

The combinatorial discrepancy of arithmetic progressions inside is the smallest integer for which can be colored with two colors so that any ari…

Weighted Fourier Factorizations: Optimal Gaussian Noise for Differentially Private Marginal and Product Queries

Christian Janos Lebeda, Aleksandar Nikolov, Haohua Tang

We revisit the task of releasing marginal queries under differential privacy with additive (correlated) Gaussian noise. We first give a construction for answering arbitrary workloa…
