In Medio Stat Virtus: Combining Boolean and Pattern Matching

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino, Gianluca Radi

Technology mapping transforms a technology-independent representation into a technology-dependent one given a library of cells. This process is performed by means of local replacements that are extracted by matching sections of the subject graph to library ...

Equivariant Neural Architectures for Representing and Generating Graphs

Clément Arthur Yvon Vignac

Graph machine learning offers a powerful framework with natural applications in scientific fields such as chemistry, biology and material sciences. By representing data as a graph, we encode the prior knowledge that the data is composed of a set of entiti ...

Modeling and Optimization of Ridesplitting Operations

Caio Vitor Beojone

Ridesourcing has driven a lot of attention in recent years with the expansion of companies like Uber, Lift, and many others around the world. Companies use mobile applications connected through the internet to match drivers and their passengers real-time. ...

Streaming and Matching Problems with Submodular Functions

Paritosh Garg

Submodular functions are a widely studied topic in theoretical computer science. They have found several applications both theoretical and practical in the fields of economics, combinatorial optimization and machine learning. More recently, there have also ...

SPECTRE: Spectral Conditioning Helps to Overcome the Expressivity Limits of One-shot Graph Generators

Nathanaël Perraudin, Andreas Loukas, Karolis Martinkus

We approach the graph generation problem from a spectral perspective by first generating the dominant parts of the graph Laplacian spectrum and then building a graph matching these eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Spectral conditioning allows for direct model ...

Space-Efficient Representations of Graphs

Jakab Tardos

With the increasing prevalence of massive datasets, it becomes important to design algorithmic techniques for dealing with scenarios where the input to be processed does not fit in the memory of a single machine. Many highly successful approaches have emer ...

Spectral Hypergraph Sparsifiers of Nearly Linear Size

Mikhail Kapralov, Jakab Tardos

Graph sparsification has been studied extensively over the past two decades, culminating in spectral sparsifiers of optimal size (up to constant factors). Spectral hypergraph sparsification is a natural analogue of this problem, for which optimal bounds on ...

Random walks and forbidden minors III: poly(d epsilon(-1))-time partition oracles for minor-free graph classes

Akash Kumar

Consider the family of bounded degree graphs in any minor-closed family (such as planar graphs). Let d be the degree bound and n be the number of vertices of such a graph. Graphs in these classes have hyperfinite decompositions, where, one removes a small ...

Tight Vector Bin Packing with Few Small Items via Fast Exact Matching in Multigraphs

Adam Teodor Polak, Alexandra Anna Lassota

We solve the Bin Packing problem in O^*(2^k) time, where k is the number of items less or equal to one third of the bin capacity. This parameter measures the distance from the polynomially solvable case of only large (i.e., greater than one third) items. O ...

Knowledge-Aware Cross-Modal Text-Image Retrieval for Remote Sensing Images

Devis Tuia, Christel Marie Tartini-Chappuis, Li Mi, Siran Li

Image-based retrieval in large Earth observation archives is difficult, because one needs to navigate across thousands of candidate matches only with the proposition image as a guide. By using text as a query language, the retrieval system gains in usabili ...

How to Match in Modern Computational Settings

Buddhima Ruwanmini Gamlath Gamlath Ralalage

This thesis focuses on the maximum matching problem in modern computational settings where the algorithms have to make decisions with partial information. First, we consider two stochastic models called query-commit and price-of-information where the algo ...

Dynamic Balanced Graph Partitioning

Georg Stefan Schmid, Andreas Loukas

This paper initiates the study of the classic balanced graph partitioning problem from an online perspective: Given an arbitrary sequence of pairwise communication requests between n nodes, with patterns that may change over time, the objective is to servi ...

Space Efficient Approximation to Maximum Matching Size from Uniform Edge Samples

Mikhail Kapralov, Slobodan Mitrovic, Jakab Tardos, Ashkan Norouzi Fard

Given a source of iid samples of edges of an input graph G with n vertices and m edges, how many samples does one need to compute a constant factor approximation to the maximum matching size in G? Moreover, is it possible to obtain such an estimate in a sm ...

A conformal dispersion relation: correlations from absorption

Din Carmi

We introduce the analog of Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations for correlators of four scalar operators in an arbitrary conformal field theory. The correlator is expressed as an integral over its "absorptive part", defined as a double discontinuity, times ...

Construction of Polar Codes With Sublinear Complexity

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Consider the problem of constructing a polar code of block length N for a given transmission channel W. Previous approaches require one to compute the reliability of the N synthetic channels and then use only those that are sufficiently reliable. However, ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...

Weighted Matchings via Unweighted Augmentations

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Slobodan Mitrovic, Buddhima Ruwanmini Gamlath Gamlath Ralalage

We design a generic method to reduce the task of finding weighted matchings to that of finding short augmenting paths in unweighted graphs. This method enables us to provide efficient implementations for approximating weighted matchings in the massively pa ...

New Notions and Constructions of Sparsification for Graphs and Hypergraphs

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

A sparsifier of a graph G (Bencztir and Karger; Spielman and Teng) is a sparse weighted subgraph (G) over tilde that approximately retains the same cut structure of G. For general graphs, non-trivial sparsification is possible only by using weighted graphs ...

Round Compression for Parallel Matching Algorithms

Slobodan Mitrovic, Aleksander Madry

For over a decade now we have been witnessing the success of massive parallel computation (MPC) frameworks, such as MapReduce, Hadoop, Dryad, or Spark. One of the reasons for their success is the fact that these frameworks are able to accurately capture th ...
