The Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is $L(G)=D(G)-A(G)$, where $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix and $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees. According to the Matrix-Tree Theorem, the number of spanning trees in $G$ is equal to any cofactor of an entry of $L(G)$. A rooted forest is a union of disjoint rooted trees. We consider the matrix $W(G)=I+L(G)$ and prove that the $(i,j)$-cofactor of $W(G)$ is equal to the number of spanning rooted forests of $G$, in which the vertices $i$ and $j$ belong to the same tree rooted at $i$. The determinant of $W(G)$ equals the total number of spanning rooted forests, therefore the $(i,j)$-entry of the matrix $W^{-1}(G)$ can be considered as a measure of relative ''forest-accessibility'' of vertex $i$ from $j$ (or $j$ from $i$). These results follow from somewhat more general theorems we prove, which concern weighted multigraphs. The analogous theorems for (multi)digraphs are also established. These results provide a graph-theoretic interpretation for the adjugate to the Laplacian characteristic matrix.

We revisit the noisy binary search model of Karp and Kleinberg, in which we have $n$ coins with unknown probabilities $p_i$ that we can flip. The coins are sorted by increasing $p_i$, and we would like to find where the probability crosses (to within $\varepsilon$) of a target value $\tau$. This generalized the fixed-noise model of Burnashev and Zigangirov , in which $p_i = \frac{1}{2} \pm \varepsilon$, to a setting where coins near the target may be indistinguishable from it. Karp and Kleinberg showed that $\Theta(\frac{1}{\varepsilon^2} \log n)$ samples are necessary and sufficient for this task. We produce a practical algorithm by solving two theoretical challenges: high-probability behavior and sharp constants. We give an algorithm that succeeds with probability $1-\delta$ from \[ \frac{1}{C_{\tau, \varepsilon}} \cdot \left(\lg n + O(\log^{2/3} n \log^{1/3} \frac{1}{\delta} + \log \frac{1}{\delta})\right) \] samples, where $C_{\tau, \varepsilon}$ is the optimal such constant achievable. For $\delta > n^{-o(1)}$ this is within $1 + o(1)$ of optimal, and for $\delta \ll 1$ it is the first bound within constant factors of optimal.

We prove that the blocklength $n$ of a linear $3$-query locally correctable code (LCC) $\mathcal{L} \colon {\mathbb F}^k \to {\mathbb F}^n$ with distance $\delta$ must be at least $n \geq 2^{\Omega\left(\left(\frac{\delta^2 k}{(|{\mathbb F}|-1)^2}\right)^{1/8}\right)}$. In particular, the blocklength of a linear $3$-query LCC with constant distance over any small field grows exponentially with $k$. This improves on the best prior lower bound of $n \geq \tilde{\Omega}(k^3)$ [AGKM23], which holds even for the weaker setting of $3$-query locally decodable codes (LDCs), and comes close to matching the best-known construction of $3$-query LCCs based on binary Reed-Muller codes, which achieve $n \leq 2^{O(k^{1/2})}$. Because there is a $3$-query LDC with a strictly subexponential blocklength [Yek08, Efr09], as a corollary we obtain the first strong separation between $q$-query LCCs and LDCs for any constant $q \geq 3$. Our proof is based on a new upgrade of the method of spectral refutations via Kikuchi matrices developed in recent works [GKM22, HKM23, AGKM23] that reduces establishing (non-)existence of combinatorial objects to proving unsatisfiability of associated XOR instances. Our key conceptual idea is to apply this method with XOR instances obtained via long-chain derivations, a structured variant of low-width resolution for XOR formulas from proof complexity [Gri01, Sch08].

Generative processes that involve solving differential equations, such as diffusion models, frequently necessitate balancing speed and quality. ODE-based samplers are fast but plateau in performance while SDE-based samplers deliver higher sample quality at the cost of increased sampling time. We attribute this difference to sampling errors: ODE-samplers involve smaller discretization errors while stochasticity in SDE contracts accumulated errors. Based on these findings, we propose a novel sampling algorithm called Restart in order to better balance discretization errors and contraction. The sampling method alternates between adding substantial noise in additional forward steps and strictly following a backward ODE. Empirically, Restart sampler surpasses previous SDE and ODE samplers in both speed and accuracy. Restart not only outperforms the previous best SDE results, but also accelerates the sampling speed by 10-fold / 2-fold on CIFAR-10 / ImageNet $64 \times 64$. In addition, it attains significantly better sample quality than ODE samplers within comparable sampling times. Moreover, Restart better balances text-image alignment/visual quality versus diversity than previous samplers in the large-scale text-to-image Stable Diffusion model pre-trained on LAION $512 \times 512$.

Given an input graph $G = (V, E)$, an additive emulator $H = (V, E', w)$ is a sparse weighted graph that preserves all distances in $G$ with small additive error. A recent line of inquiry has sought to determine the best additive error achievable in the sparsest setting, when $H$ has a linear number of edges. In particular, the work of [Kogan and Parter, ICALP 2023], following [Pettie, ICALP 2007], constructed linear size emulators with $+O(n^{0.222})$ additive error. It is known that the worst-case additive error must be at least $+\Omega(n^{2/29})$ due to [Lu, Vassilevska Williams, Wein, and Xu, SODA 2022]. We present a simple linear-size emulator construction that achieves additive error $+O(n^{0.191})$. Our approach extends the path-buying framework developed by [Baswana, Kavitha, Mehlhorn, and Pettie, SODA 2005] and [Vassilevska Williams and Bodwin, SODA 2016] to the setting of sparse additive emulators.

We bound the smoothed running time of the FLIP algorithm for local Max-Cut as a function of $\alpha$, the arboricity of the input graph. We show that, with high probability, the following holds (where $n$ is the number of nodes and $\phi$ is the smoothing parameter): 1) When $\alpha = O(\sqrt{\log n})$ FLIP terminates in $\phi poly(n)$ iterations. Previous to our results the only graph families for which FLIP was known to achieve a smoothed polynomial running time were complete graphs and graphs with logarithmic maximum degree. 2) For arbitrary values of $\alpha$ we get a running time of $\phi n^{O(\frac{\alpha}{\log n} + \log \alpha)}$. This improves over the best known running time for general graphs of $\phi n^{O(\sqrt{ \log n })}$ for $\alpha = o(\log^{1.5} n)$. Specifically, when $\alpha = O(\log n)$ we get a significantly faster running time of $\phi n^{O(\log \log n)}$.

We propose principled Gaussian processes (GPs) for modeling functions defined over the edge set of a simplicial 2-complex, a structure similar to a graph in which edges may form triangular faces. This approach is intended for learning flow-type data on networks where edge flows can be characterized by the discrete divergence and curl. Drawing upon the Hodge decomposition, we first develop classes of divergence-free and curl-free edge GPs, suitable for various applications. We then combine them to create \emph{Hodge-compositional edge GPs} that are expressive enough to represent any edge function. These GPs facilitate direct and independent learning for the different Hodge components of edge functions, enabling us to capture their relevance during hyperparameter optimization. To highlight their practical potential, we apply them for flow data inference in currency exchange, ocean flows and water supply networks, comparing them to alternative models.

In-context learning$\unicode{x2013}$the ability to configure a model's behavior with different prompts$\unicode{x2013}$has revolutionized the field of natural language processing, alleviating the need for task-specific models and paving the way for generalist models capable of assisting with any query. Computer vision, in contrast, has largely stayed in the former regime: specialized decoders and finetuning protocols are generally required to perform dense tasks such as semantic segmentation and depth estimation. In this work we explore a simple mechanism for in-context learning of such scene understanding tasks: nearest neighbor retrieval from a prompt of annotated features. We propose a new pretraining protocol$\unicode{x2013}$leveraging attention within and across images$\unicode{x2013}$which yields representations particularly useful in this regime. The resulting Hummingbird model, suitably prompted, performs various scene understanding tasks without modification while approaching the performance of specialists that have been finetuned for each task. Moreover, Hummingbird can be configured to perform new tasks much more efficiently than finetuned models, raising the possibility of scene understanding in the interactive assistant regime.

We consider the performance of a least-squares regression model, as judged by out-of-sample $R^2$. Shapley values give a fair attribution of the performance of a model to its input features, taking into account interdependencies between features. Evaluating the Shapley values exactly requires solving a number of regression problems that is exponential in the number of features, so a Monte Carlo-type approximation is typically used. We focus on the special case of least-squares regression models, where several tricks can be used to compute and evaluate regression models efficiently. These tricks give a substantial speed up, allowing many more Monte Carlo samples to be evaluated, achieving better accuracy. We refer to our method as least-squares Shapley performance attribution (LS-SPA), and describe our open-source implementation.

A private compression design problem is studied, where an encoder observes useful data $Y$, wishes to compress it using variable length code and communicates it through an unsecured channel. Since $Y$ is correlated with private attribute $X$, the encoder uses a private compression mechanism to design encoded message $\cal C$ and sends it over the channel. An adversary is assumed to have access to the output of the encoder, i.e., $\cal C$, and tries to estimate $X$. Furthermore, it is assumed that both encoder and decoder have access to a shared secret key $W$. The design goal is to encode message $\cal C$ with minimum possible average length that satisfies a perfect privacy constraint. To do so we first consider two different privacy mechanism design problems and find upper bounds on the entropy of the optimizers by solving a linear program. We use the obtained optimizers to design $\cal C$. In two cases we strengthen the existing bounds: 1. $|\mathcal{X}|\geq |\mathcal{Y}|$; 2. The realization of $(X,Y)$ follows a specific joint distribution. In particular, considering the second case we use two-part construction coding to achieve the upper bounds. Furthermore, in a numerical example we study the obtained bounds and show that they can improve the existing results.
