We provide a framework to prove convergence rates for discretizations of kinetic Langevin dynamics for $M$-$\nabla$Lipschitz $m$-log-concave densities. Our approach provides convergence rates of $\mathcal{O}(m/M)$, with explicit stepsize restrictions, which are of the same order as the stability threshold for Gaussian targets and are valid for a large interval of the friction parameter. We apply this methodology to various integration methods which are popular in the molecular dynamics and machine learning communities. Finally we introduce the property ``$\gamma$-limit convergent" (GLC) to characterise underdamped Langevin schemes that converge to overdamped dynamics in the high friction limit and which have stepsize restrictions that are independent of the friction parameter; we show that this property is not generic by exhibiting methods from both the class and its complement.

Given a signed permutation on $n$ elements, we need to sort it with the fewest reversals. This is a fundamental algorithmic problem motivated by applications in comparative genomics, as it allows to accurately model rearrangements in small genomes. The first polynomial-time algorithm was given in the foundational work of Hannenhalli and Pevzner [J. ACM'99]. Their approach was later streamlined and simplified by Kaplan, Shamir, and Tarjan [SIAM J. Comput.'99] and their framework has eventually led to an algorithm that works in $\mathcal{O}(n^{3/2}\sqrt{\log n})$ time given by Tannier, Bergeron, and Sagot [Discr. Appl. Math.'07]. However, the challenge of finding a nearly-linear time algorithm remained unresolved. In this paper, we show how to leverage the results on dynamic graph connectivity to obtain a surprisingly simple $\mathcal{O}(n \log^2 n / \log \log n)$ time algorithm for this problem.

Variational flows allow practitioners to learn complex continuous distributions, but approximating discrete distributions remains a challenge. Current methodologies typically embed the discrete target in a continuous space - usually via continuous relaxation or dequantization - and then apply a continuous flow. These approaches involve a surrogate target that may not capture the original discrete target, might have biased or unstable gradients, and can create a difficult optimization problem. In this work, we develop a variational flow family for discrete distributions without any continuous embedding. First, we develop a measure-preserving and discrete (MAD) invertible map that leaves the discrete target invariant, and then create a mixed variational flow (MAD Mix) based on that map. We also develop an extension to MAD Mix that handles joint discrete and continuous models. Our experiments suggest that MAD Mix produces more reliable approximations than continuous-embedding flows while being significantly faster to train.

In a recent work, Esmer et al. describe a simple method - Approximate Monotone Local Search - to obtain exponential approximation algorithms from existing parameterized exact algorithms, polynomial-time approximation algorithms and, more generally, parameterized approximation algorithms. In this work, we generalize those results to the weighted setting. More formally, we consider monotone subset minimization problems over a weighted universe of size $n$ (e.g., Vertex Cover, $d$-Hitting Set and Feedback Vertex Set). We consider a model where the algorithm is only given access to a subroutine that finds a solution of weight at most $\alpha \cdot W$ (and of arbitrary cardinality) in time $c^k \cdot n^{O(1)}$ where $W$ is the minimum weight of a solution of cardinality at most $k$. In the unweighted setting, Esmer et al. determine the smallest value $d$ for which a $\beta$-approximation algorithm running in time $d^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ can be obtained in this model. We show that the same dependencies also hold in a weighted setting in this model: for every fixed $\varepsilon>0$ we obtain a $\beta$-approximation algorithm running in time $O\left((d+\varepsilon)^{n}\right)$, for the same $d$ as in the unweighted setting. Similarly, we also extend a $\beta$-approximate brute-force search (in a model which only provides access to a membership oracle) to the weighted setting. Using existing approximation algorithms and exact parameterized algorithms for weighted problems, we obtain the first exponential-time $\beta$-approximation algorithms that are better than brute force for a variety of problems including Weighted Vertex Cover, Weighted $d$-Hitting Set, Weighted Feedback Vertex Set and Weighted Multicut.

Digital Twins (DT) facilitate monitoring and reasoning processes in cyber-physical systems. They have progressively gained popularity over the past years because of intense research activity and industrial advancements. Cognitive Twins is a novel concept, recently coined to refer to the involvement of Semantic Web technology in DTs. Recent studies address the relevance of ontologies and knowledge graphs in the context of DTs, in terms of knowledge representation, interoperability and automatic reasoning. However, there is no comprehensive analysis of how semantic technologies, and specifically ontologies, are utilized within DTs. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is based on the analysis of 82 research articles, that either propose or benefit from ontologies with respect to DT. The paper uses different analysis perspectives, including a structural analysis based on a reference DT architecture, and an application-specific analysis to specifically address the different domains, such as Manufacturing and Infrastructure. The review also identifies open issues and possible research directions on the usage of ontologies and knowledge graphs in DTs.

We consider the problem of sampling from a distribution governed by a potential function. This work proposes an explicit score-based MCMC method that is deterministic, resulting in a deterministic evolution for particles rather than a stochastic differential equation evolution. The score term is given in closed form by a regularized Wasserstein proximal, using a kernel convolution that is approximated by sampling. We demonstrate fast convergence on various problems and show improved dimensional dependence of mixing time bounds for the case of Gaussian distributions compared to the unadjusted Langevin algorithm (ULA) and the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm (MALA). We additionally derive closed form expressions for the distributions at each iterate for quadratic potential functions, characterizing the variance reduction. Empirical results demonstrate that the particles behave in an organized manner, lying on level set contours of the potential. Moreover, the posterior mean estimator of the proposed method is shown to be closer to the maximum a-posteriori estimator compared to ULA and MALA, in the context of Bayesian logistic regression.

For a complexity class $C$ and language $L$, a constructive separation of $L \notin C$ gives an efficient algorithm (also called a refuter) to find counterexamples (bad inputs) for every $C$-algorithm attempting to decide $L$. We study the questions: Which lower bounds can be made constructive? What are the consequences of constructive separations? We build a case that "constructiveness" serves as a dividing line between many weak lower bounds we know how to prove, and strong lower bounds against $P$, $ZPP$, and $BPP$. Put another way, constructiveness is the opposite of a complexity barrier: it is a property we want lower bounds to have. Our results fall into three broad categories. 1. Our first set of results shows that, for many well-known lower bounds against streaming algorithms, one-tape Turing machines, and query complexity, as well as lower bounds for the Minimum Circuit Size Problem, making these lower bounds constructive would imply breakthrough separations ranging from $EXP \neq BPP$ to even $P \neq NP$. 2. Our second set of results shows that for most major open problems in lower bounds against $P$, $ZPP$, and $BPP$, including $P \neq NP$, $P \neq PSPACE$, $P \neq PP$, $ZPP \neq EXP$, and $BPP \neq NEXP$, any proof of the separation would further imply a constructive separation. Our results generalize earlier results for $P \neq NP$ [Gutfreund, Shaltiel, and Ta-Shma, CCC 2005] and $BPP \neq NEXP$ [Dolev, Fandina and Gutfreund, CIAC 2013]. 3. Our third set of results shows that certain complexity separations cannot be made constructive. We observe that for all super-polynomially growing functions $t$, there are no constructive separations for detecting high $t$-time Kolmogorov complexity (a task which is known to be not in $P$) from any complexity class, unconditionally.

Modern systems mitigate Rowhammer using victim refresh, which refreshes the two neighbours of an aggressor row when it encounters a specified number of activations. Unfortunately, complex attack patterns like Half-Double break victim-refresh, rendering current systems vulnerable. Instead, recently proposed secure Rowhammer mitigations rely on performing mitigative action on the aggressor rather than the victims. Such schemes employ mitigative actions such as row-migration or access-control and include AQUA, SRS, and Blockhammer. While these schemes incur only modest slowdowns at Rowhammer thresholds of few thousand, they incur prohibitive slowdowns (15%-600%) for lower thresholds that are likely in the near future. The goal of our paper is to make secure Rowhammer mitigations practical at such low thresholds. Our paper provides the key insights that benign application encounter thousands of hot rows (receiving more activations than the threshold) due to the memory mapping, which places spatially proximate lines in the same row to maximize row-buffer hitrate. Unfortunately, this causes row to receive activations for many frequently used lines. We propose Rubix, which breaks the spatial correlation in the line-to-row mapping by using an encrypted address to access the memory, reducing the likelihood of hot rows by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. To aid row-buffer hits, Rubix randomizes a group of 1-4 lines. We also propose Rubix-D, which dynamically changes the line-to-row mapping. Rubix-D minimizes hot-rows and makes it much harder for an adversary to learn the spatial neighbourhood of a row. Rubix reduces the slowdown of AQUA (from 15% to 1%), SRS (from 60% to 2%), and Blockhammer (from 600% to 3%) while incurring a storage of less than 1 Kilobyte.

We propose superfast (aka sublinear cost) algorithms for two fundamental problems of Matrix Computations, that is, Norm Estimation and Iterative Refinement of Low Rank Approximation (LRA). A superfast algorithm only accesses a small fraction of all entries of an input matrix and cannot accurately estimate their norms or output their close LRA for worst case inputs. Thus, we begin with some well-known algorithms solving these problems in linear or super linear time and then propose superfast modifications, which still promise to succeed for most or a large class of inputs, according to our tests with real world inputs.

Multi-relation Question Answering is a challenging task, due to the requirement of elaborated analysis on questions and reasoning over multiple fact triples in knowledge base. In this paper, we present a novel model called Interpretable Reasoning Network that employs an interpretable, hop-by-hop reasoning process for question answering. The model dynamically decides which part of an input question should be analyzed at each hop; predicts a relation that corresponds to the current parsed results; utilizes the predicted relation to update the question representation and the state of the reasoning process; and then drives the next-hop reasoning. Experiments show that our model yields state-of-the-art results on two datasets. More interestingly, the model can offer traceable and observable intermediate predictions for reasoning analysis and failure diagnosis.
