We study the problem of learning a hypergraph via edge detecting queries. In this problem, a learner queries subsets of vertices of a hidden hypergraph and observes whether these subsets contain an edge or not. In general, learning a hypergraph with $m$ edges of maximum size $d$ requires $\Omega((2m/d)^{d/2})$ queries. In this paper, we aim to identify families of hypergraphs that can be learned without suffering from a query complexity that grows exponentially in the size of the edges. We show that hypermatchings and low-degree near-uniform hypergraphs with $n$ vertices are learnable with poly$(n)$ queries. For learning hypermatchings (hypergraphs of maximum degree $ 1$), we give an $O(\log^3 n)$-round algorithm with $O(n \log^5 n)$ queries. We complement this upper bound by showing that there are no algorithms with poly$(n)$ queries that learn hypermatchings in $o(\log \log n)$ adaptive rounds. For hypergraphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ and edge size ratio $\rho$, we give a non-adaptive algorithm with $O((2n)^{\rho \Delta+1}\log^2 n)$ queries. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first algorithms with poly$(n, m)$ query complexity for learning non-trivial families of hypergraphs that have a super-constant number of edges of super-constant size.

We study the complexity of approximating the multimarginal optimal transport (MOT) distance, a generalization of the classical optimal transport distance, considered here between $m$ discrete probability distributions supported each on $n$ support points. First, we show that the standard linear programming (LP) representation of the MOT problem is not a minimum-cost flow problem when $m \geq 3$. This negative result implies that some combinatorial algorithms, e.g., network simplex method, are not suitable for approximating the MOT problem, while the worst-case complexity bound for the deterministic interior-point algorithm remains a quantity of $\tilde{O}(n^{3m})$. We then propose two simple and \textit{deterministic} algorithms for approximating the MOT problem. The first algorithm, which we refer to as \textit{multimarginal Sinkhorn} algorithm, is a provably efficient multimarginal generalization of the Sinkhorn algorithm. We show that it achieves a complexity bound of $\tilde{O}(m^3n^m\varepsilon^{-2})$ for a tolerance $\varepsilon \in (0, 1)$. This provides a first \textit{near-linear time} complexity bound guarantee for approximating the MOT problem and matches the best known complexity bound for the Sinkhorn algorithm in the classical OT setting when $m = 2$. The second algorithm, which we refer to as \textit{accelerated multimarginal Sinkhorn} algorithm, achieves the acceleration by incorporating an estimate sequence and the complexity bound is $\tilde{O}(m^3n^{m+1/3}\varepsilon^{-4/3})$. This bound is better than that of the first algorithm in terms of $1/\varepsilon$, and accelerated alternating minimization algorithm~\citep{Tupitsa-2020-Multimarginal} in terms of $n$. Finally, we compare our new algorithms with the commercial LP solver \textsc{Gurobi}. Preliminary results on synthetic data and real images demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms.

Given an unknown $n \times n$ matrix $A$ having non-negative entries, the \emph{inner product} (IP) oracle takes as inputs a specified row (or a column) of $A$ and a vector $v \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, and returns their inner product. A derivative of IP is the induced degree query in an unknown graph $G=(V(G), E(G))$ that takes a vertex $u \in V(G)$ and a subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ as input and reports the number of neighbors of $u$ that are present in $S$. The goal of this paper is to understand the strength of the inner product oracle. Our results in that direction are as follows: (I) IP oracle can solve bilinear form estimation, i.e., estimate the value of ${\bf x}^{T}A\bf{y}$ given two vectors ${\bf x},\, {\bf y} \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with non-negative entries and can sample almost uniformly entries of a matrix with non-negative entries; (ii) We tackle for the first time weighted edge estimation and weighted sampling of edges that follow as an application to the bilinear form estimation and almost uniform sampling problems, respectively; (iii) induced degree query, a derivative of IP can solve edge estimation and an almost uniform edge sampling in induced subgraphs. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first set of Oracle-based query complexity results for induced subgraphs. We show that IP/induced degree queries over the whole graph can simulate local queries in any induced subgraph; (iv) Apart from the above, we also show that IP can solve several problems related to matrix, like testing if the matrix is diagonal, symmetric, doubly stochastic, etc.

Listing dense subgraphs in large graphs plays a key task in varieties of network analysis applications like community detection. Clique, as the densest model, has been widely investigated. However, in practice, communities rarely form as cliques for various reasons, e.g., data noise. Therefore, $k$-plex, -- graph with each vertex adjacent to all but at most $k$ vertices, is introduced as a relaxed version of clique. Often, to better simulate cohesive communities, an emphasis is placed on connected $k$-plexes with small $k$. In this paper, we continue the research line of listing all maximal $k$-plexes and maximal $k$-plexes of prescribed size. Our first contribution is algorithm ListPlex that lists all maximal $k$-plexes in $O^*(\gamma^D)$ time for each constant $k$, where $\gamma$ is a value related to $k$ but strictly smaller than 2, and $D$ is the degeneracy of the graph that is far less than the vertex number $n$ in real-word graphs. Compared to the trivial bound of $2^n$, the improvement is significant, and our bound is better than all previously known results. In practice, we further use several techniques to accelerate listing $k$-plexes of a given size, such as structural-based prune rules, cache-efficient data structures, and parallel techniques. All these together result in a very practical algorithm. Empirical results show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art solutions by up to orders of magnitude.

We study the problem of selling information to a data-buyer who faces a decision problem under uncertainty. We consider the classic Bayesian decision-theoretic model pioneered by [Blackwell, 1951, 1953]. Initially, the data buyer has only partial information about the payoff-relevant state of the world. A data seller offers additional information about the state of the world. The information is revealed through signaling schemes, also referred to as experiments. In the single-agent setting, any mechanism can be represented as a menu of experiments. [Bergemann et al., 2018] present a complete characterization of the revenue-optimal mechanism in a binary state and binary action environment. By contrast, no characterization is known for the case with more actions. In this paper, we consider more general environments and study arguably the simplest mechanism, which only sells the fully informative experiment. In the environment with binary state and $m\geq 3$ actions, we provide an $O(m)$-approximation to the optimal revenue by selling only the fully informative experiment and show that the approximation ratio is tight up to an absolute constant factor. An important corollary of our lower bound is that the size of the optimal menu must grow at least linearly in the number of available actions, so no universal upper bound exists for the size of the optimal menu in the general single-dimensional setting. For multi-dimensional environments, we prove that even in arguably the simplest matching utility environment with 3 states and 3 actions, the ratio between the optimal revenue and the revenue by selling only the fully informative experiment can grow immediately to a polynomial of the number of agent types. Nonetheless, if the distribution is uniform, we show that selling only the fully informative experiment is indeed the optimal mechanism.

The \emph{Product Structure Theorem} for planar graphs (Dujmovi\'c et al.\ \emph{JACM}, \textbf{67}(4):22) states that any planar graph is contained in the strong product of a planar $3$-tree, a path, and a $3$-cycle. We give a simple linear-time algorithm for finding this decomposition as well as several related decompositions. This improves on the previous $O(n\log n)$ time algorithm (Morin.\ \emph{Algorithmica}, \textbf{85}(5):1544--1558).

We propose a model for online graph problems where algorithms are given access to an oracle that predicts (e.g., based on past data) the degrees of nodes in the graph. Within this model, we study the classic problem of online bipartite matching, and a natural greedy matching algorithm called MinPredictedDegree, which uses predictions of the degrees of offline nodes. For the bipartite version of a stochastic graph model due to Chung, Lu, and Vu where the expected values of the offline degrees are known and used as predictions, we show that MinPredictedDegree stochastically dominates any other online algorithm, i.e., it is optimal for graphs drawn from this model. Since the "symmetric" version of the model, where all online nodes are identical, is a special case of the well-studied "known i.i.d. model", it follows that the competitive ratio of MinPredictedDegree on such inputs is at least 0.7299. For the special case of graphs with power law degree distributions, we show that MinPredictedDegree frequently produces matchings almost as large as the true maximum matching on such graphs. We complement these results with an extensive empirical evaluation showing that MinPredictedDegree compares favorably to state-of-the-art online algorithms for online matching.

We prove that a Gibbs point process interacting via a finite-range, repulsive potential $\phi$ exhibits a strong spatial mixing property for activities $\lambda < e/\Delta_{\phi}$, where $\Delta_{\phi}$ is the potential-weighted connective constant of $\phi$, defined recently in [MP21]. Using this we derive several analytic and algorithmic consequences when $\lambda$ satisfies this bound: (1) We prove new identities for the infinite volume pressure and surface pressure of such a process (and in the case of the surface pressure establish its existence). (2) We prove that local block dynamics for sampling from the model on a box of volume $N$ in $\mathbb R^d$ mixes in time $O(N \log N)$, giving efficient randomized algorithms to approximate the partition function of and approximately sample from these models. (3) We use the above identities and algorithms to give efficient approximation algorithms for the pressure and surface pressure.

We present a classical algorithm that, for any $D$-dimensional geometrically-local, quantum circuit $C$ of polylogarithmic-depth, and any bit string $x \in {0,1}^n$, can compute the quantity $|<x|C|0^{\otimes n}>|^2$ to within any inverse-polynomial additive error in quasi-polynomial time, for any fixed dimension $D$. This is an extension of the result [CC21], which originally proved this result for $D = 3$. To see why this is interesting, note that, while the $D = 1$ case of this result follows from standard use of Matrix Product States, known for decades, the $D = 2$ case required novel and interesting techniques introduced in [BGM19]. Extending to the case $D = 3$ was even more laborious and required further new techniques introduced in [CC21]. Our work here shows that, while handling each new dimension has historically required a new insight, and fixed algorithmic primitive, based on known techniques for $D \leq 3$, we can now handle any fixed dimension $D > 3$. Our algorithm uses the Divide-and-Conquer framework of [CC21] to approximate the desired quantity via several instantiations of the same problem type, each involving $D$-dimensional circuits on about half the number of qubits as the original. This division step is then applied recursively, until the width of the recursively decomposed circuits in the $D^{th}$ dimension is so small that they can effectively be regarded as $(D-1)$-dimensional problems by absorbing the small width in the $D^{th}$ dimension into the qudit structure at the cost of a moderate increase in runtime. The main technical challenge lies in ensuring that the more involved portions of the recursive circuit decomposition and error analysis from [CC21] still hold in higher dimensions, which requires small modifications to the analysis in some places.

We show that for the problem of testing if a matrix $A \in F^{n \times n}$ has rank at most $d$, or requires changing an $\epsilon$-fraction of entries to have rank at most $d$, there is a non-adaptive query algorithm making $\widetilde{O}(d^2/\epsilon)$ queries. Our algorithm works for any field $F$. This improves upon the previous $O(d^2/\epsilon^2)$ bound (SODA'03), and bypasses an $\Omega(d^2/\epsilon^2)$ lower bound of (KDD'14) which holds if the algorithm is required to read a submatrix. Our algorithm is the first such algorithm which does not read a submatrix, and instead reads a carefully selected non-adaptive pattern of entries in rows and columns of $A$. We complement our algorithm with a matching query complexity lower bound for non-adaptive testers over any field. We also give tight bounds of $\widetilde{\Theta}(d^2)$ queries in the sensing model for which query access comes in the form of $\langle X_i, A\rangle:=tr(X_i^\top A)$; perhaps surprisingly these bounds do not depend on $\epsilon$. We next develop a novel property testing framework for testing numerical properties of a real-valued matrix $A$ more generally, which includes the stable rank, Schatten-$p$ norms, and SVD entropy. Specifically, we propose a bounded entry model, where $A$ is required to have entries bounded by $1$ in absolute value. We give upper and lower bounds for a wide range of problems in this model, and discuss connections to the sensing model above.
