Blind as a bat: spatial perception without sight

Among our five senses, we rely mostly on audition and vision to perceive an environment. Our ears are able to detect stimuli from all directions, especially from obstructed and far-away objects. Even in smoke, harsh weather conditions, or at night â situ ...

Online Contention Resolution Schemes With Applications To Bayesian Selection Problems

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Moran Feldman, Rico Zenklusen

We introduce a new rounding technique designed for online optimization problems, which is related to contention resolution schemes, a technique initially introduced in the context of submodular function maximization. Our rounding technique, which we call o ...

Performance guarantees of forward and reverse greedy algorithms for minimizing nonsupermodular nonsubmodular functions on a matroid

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

This letter studies the problem of minimizing increasing set functions, equivalently, maximizing decreasing set functions, over the base matroid. This setting has received great interest, since it generalizes several applied problems including actuator and ...

New Results in Integer and Lattice Programming

Christoph Hunkenschröder

An integer program (IP) is a problem of the form

\min \{f(x) : \, Ax = b, \ l \leq x \leq u, \ x \in \Z^n\}

, where

A \in \Z^{m \times n}

,

b \in \Z^m

,

l,u \in \Z^n

, and

f: \Z^n \rightarrow \Z

is a separable convex objective function. The problem o ...

Better Guarantees for k-Means and Euclidean k-Median by Primal-Dual Algorithms

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Justin Dean Ward

Clustering is a classic topic in optimization with k-means being one of the most fundamental such problems. In the absence of any restrictions on the input, the best-known algorithm for k-means in Euclidean space with a provable guarantee is a simple local ...

Proximity Results and Faster Algorithms for Integer Programming Using the Steinitz Lemma

Friedrich Eisenbrand

We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...

UCLID-Net: Single View Reconstruction in Object Space

Pascal Fua, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Edoardo Remelli

Most state-of-the-art deep geometric learning single-view reconstruction approaches rely on encoder-decoder architectures that output either shape parametrizations or implicit representations. However, these representations rarely preserve the Euclidean st ...

Coordinate Difference Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Gilles Baechler, Miranda Krekovic, Golnooshsadat Elhami

In many problems such as phase retrieval, molecular biology, source localization, and sensor array calibration, one can measure vector differences between pairs of points and attempt to recover the position of these points; this class of problems is called ...

The One-Way Communication Complexity of Submodular Maximization with Applications to Streaming and Robustness

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Moran Feldman, Rico Zenklusen, Ashkan Norouzi Fard

We consider the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, which, due to its numerous applications, has recently been studied in various computational models. We consider a clean multi-player model t ...

On the Complexity of Modulo-q Arguments and the Chevalley - Warning Theorem

Mika Tapani Göös

We study the search problem class PPA_q defined as a modulo-q analog of the well-known polynomial parity argument class PPA introduced by Papadimitriou (JCSS 1994). Our first result shows that this class can be characterized in terms of PPA_p for prime p. ...
