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 ...
We construct a regular random projection of a metric space onto a closed doubling subset and use it to linearly extend Lipschitz and C-1 functions. This way we prove more directly a result by Lee and Naor [5] and we generalize the C-l extension theorem by ...
This paper addresses the problem of combining Byzantine resilience with privacy in machine learning (ML). Specifically, we study if a distributed implementation of the renowned Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) learning algorithm is feasible with both diff ...
We address online bandit learning of Nash equilibria in multi-agent convex games. We propose an algorithm whereby each agent uses only obtained values of her cost function at each joint played action, lacking any information of the functional form of her c ...
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 ...
In this work, we propose lattice-free MMI (LFMMI) for supervised adaptation of self-supervised pretrained acoustic model. We pretrain a Transformer model on thousand hours of untranscribed Librispeech data followed by supervised adaptation with LFMMI on th ...
Fine-tuning pre-trained transformer-based language models such as BERT has become a common practice dominating leaderboards across various NLP benchmarks. Despite the strong empirical performance of fine-tuned models, fine-tuning is an unstable process: tr ...
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic optimality of spectral coarse spaces for two-level iterative methods. Spectral coarse spaces, namely coarse spaces obtained as the span of the slowest modes of the used one-level smoother, are known to be very ef ...
It is well known that hyperedge-replacement grammars can generate NP-complete graph languages even under seemingly harsh restrictions. This means that the parsing problem is difficult even in the non-uniform setting, in which the grammar is considered to b ...
We use the method of interlacing families of polynomials to derive a simple proof of Bourgain and Tzafriri's Restricted Invertibility Principle, and then to sharpen the result in two ways. We show that the stable rank can be replaced by the Schatten 4-norm ...
