A common approach to solve a combinatorial optimization problem is to first solve a continous relaxation and then round the fractional solution. For the latter, the framework of contention resolution schemes (or CR schemes) introduced by Chekuri, Vondrak, and Zenklusen, has become a general and successful tool. A CR scheme takes a fractional point $x$ in a relaxation polytope, rounds each coordinate $x_i$ independently to get a possibly non-feasible set, and then drops some elements in order to satisfy the independence constraints. Intuitively, a CR scheme is $c$-balanced if every element $i$ is selected with probability at least $c \cdot x_i$. It is known that general matroids admit a $(1-1/e)$-balanced CR scheme, and that this is (asymptotically) optimal. This is in particular true for the special case of uniform matroids of rank one. In this work, we provide a simple and explicit monotone CR scheme with a balancedness factor of $1 - e^{-k}k^k/k!$ for uniform matroids of rank $k$ (which matches the balancedness of $1-1/e$ for $k=1$), and show that this is optimal. While this bound can be obtained by combining previously known results, these require defining an exponential-sized linear program and using random sampling and the ellipsoid algorithm. Our procedure, on the other hand, has the advantage of being simple and explicit. Moreover, this scheme generalizes into an optimal CR scheme for partition matroids.

Given a large data graph, trimming techniques can reduce the search space by removing vertices without outgoing edges. One application is to speed up the parallel decomposition of graphs into strongly connected components (SCC decomposition), which is a fundamental step for analyzing graphs. We observe that graph trimming is essentially a kind of arc-consistency problem, and AC-3, AC-4, and AC-6 are the most relevant arc-consistency algorithms for application to graph trimming. The existing parallel graph trimming methods require worst-case $\mathcal O(nm)$ time and worst-case $\mathcal O(n)$ space for graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We call these parallel AC-3-based as they are much like the AC-3 algorithm. In this work, we propose AC-4-based and AC-6-based trimming methods. That is, AC-4-based trimming has an improved worst-case time of $\mathcal O(n+m)$ but requires worst-case space of $\mathcal O(n+m)$; compared with AC-4-based trimming, AC-6-based has the same worst-case time of $\mathcal O(n+m)$ but an improved worst-case space of $\mathcal O(n)$. We parallelize the AC-4-based and AC-6-based algorithms to be suitable for shared-memory multi-core machines. The algorithms are designed to minimize synchronization overhead. For these algorithms, we also prove the correctness and analyze time complexities with the work-depth model. In experiments, we compare these three parallel trimming algorithms over a variety of real and synthetic graphs. Specifically, for the maximum number of traversed edges per worker by using 16 workers, AC-3-based traverses up to 58.3 and 36.5 times more edges than AC-6-based trimming and AC-4-based trimming, respectively.

Empirically it has been observed that the performance of deep neural networks steadily improves as we increase model size, contradicting the classical view on overfitting and generalization. Recently, the double descent phenomena has been proposed to reconcile this observation with theory, suggesting that the test error has a second descent when the model becomes sufficiently overparameterized, as the model size itself acts as an implicit regularizer. In this paper we add to the growing body of work in this space, providing a careful study of learning dynamics as a function of model size for the least squares scenario. We show an excess risk bound for the gradient descent solution of the least squares objective. The bound depends on the smallest non-zero eigenvalue of the covariance matrix of the input features, via a functional form that has the double descent behavior. This gives a new perspective on the double descent curves reported in the literature. Our analysis of the excess risk allows to decouple the effect of optimization and generalization error. In particular, we find that in case of noiseless regression, double descent is explained solely by optimization-related quantities, which was missed in studies focusing on the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse solution. We believe that our derivation provides an alternative view compared to existing work, shedding some light on a possible cause of this phenomena, at least in the considered least squares setting. We empirically explore if our predictions hold for neural networks, in particular whether the covariance of intermediary hidden activations has a similar behavior as the one predicted by our derivations.

We present a thorough study of the theoretical properties and devise efficient algorithms for the \emph{persistent Laplacian}, an extension of the standard combinatorial Laplacian to the setting of pairs (or, in more generality, sequences) of simplicial complexes $K \hookrightarrow L$, which was recently introduced by Wang, Nguyen, and Wei. In particular, in analogy with the non-persistent case, we first prove that the nullity of the $q$-th persistent Laplacian $\Delta_q^{K,L}$ equals the $q$-th persistent Betti number of the inclusion $(K \hookrightarrow L)$. We then present an initial algorithm for finding a matrix representation of $\Delta_q^{K,L}$, which itself helps interpret the persistent Laplacian. We exhibit a novel relationship between the persistent Laplacian and the notion of Schur complement of a matrix which has several important implications. In the graph case, it both uncovers a link with the notion of effective resistance and leads to a persistent version of the Cheeger inequality. This relationship also yields an additional, very simple algorithm for finding (a matrix representation of) the $q$-th persistent Laplacian which in turn leads to a novel and fundamentally different algorithm for computing the $q$-th persistent Betti number for a pair $(K,L)$ which can be significantly more efficient than standard algorithms. Finally, we study persistent Laplacians for simplicial filtrations and present novel stability results for their eigenvalues. Our work brings methods from spectral graph theory, circuit theory, and persistent homology together with a topological view of the combinatorial Laplacian on simplicial complexes.

We consider nonconvex-concave minimax problems, $\min_{\mathbf{x}} \max_{\mathbf{y} \in \mathcal{Y}} f(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y})$, where $f$ is nonconvex in $\mathbf{x}$ but concave in $\mathbf{y}$ and $\mathcal{Y}$ is a convex and bounded set. One of the most popular algorithms for solving this problem is the celebrated gradient descent ascent (GDA) algorithm, which has been widely used in machine learning, control theory and economics. Despite the extensive convergence results for the convex-concave setting, GDA with equal stepsize can converge to limit cycles or even diverge in a general setting. In this paper, we present the complexity results on two-time-scale GDA for solving nonconvex-concave minimax problems, showing that the algorithm can find a stationary point of the function $\Phi(\cdot) := \max_{\mathbf{y} \in \mathcal{Y}} f(\cdot, \mathbf{y})$ efficiently. To the best our knowledge, this is the first nonasymptotic analysis for two-time-scale GDA in this setting, shedding light on its superior practical performance in training generative adversarial networks (GANs) and other real applications.

We provide theoretical analyses for two algorithms that solve the regularized optimal transport (OT) problem between two discrete probability measures with at most $n$ atoms. We show that a greedy variant of the classical Sinkhorn algorithm, known as the \emph{Greenkhorn algorithm}, can be improved to $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(n^2\varepsilon^{-2})$, improving on the best known complexity bound of $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(n^2\varepsilon^{-3})$. Notably, this matches the best known complexity bound for the Sinkhorn algorithm and helps explain why the Greenkhorn algorithm can outperform the Sinkhorn algorithm in practice. Our proof technique, which is based on a primal-dual formulation and a novel upper bound for the dual solution, also leads to a new class of algorithms that we refer to as \emph{adaptive primal-dual accelerated mirror descent} (APDAMD) algorithms. We prove that the complexity of these algorithms is $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(n^2\sqrt{\delta}\varepsilon^{-1})$, where $\delta > 0$ refers to the inverse of the strong convexity module of Bregman divergence with respect to $\|\cdot\|_\infty$. This implies that the APDAMD algorithm is faster than the Sinkhorn and Greenkhorn algorithms in terms of $\varepsilon$. Experimental results on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate the favorable performance of the Greenkhorn and APDAMD algorithms in practice.

In this work, we consider the decentralized optimization problem in which a network of $n$ agents, each possessing a smooth and convex objective function, wish to collaboratively minimize the average of all the objective functions through peer-to-peer communication in a directed graph. To solve the problem, we propose two accelerated Push-DIGing methods termed APD and APD-SC for minimizing non-strongly convex objective functions and strongly convex ones, respectively. We show that APD and APD-SC respectively converge at the rates $O\left(\frac{1}{k^2}\right)$ and $O\left(\left(1 - C\sqrt{\frac{\mu}{L}}\right)^k\right)$ up to constant factors depending only on the mixing matrix. To the best of our knowledge, APD and APD-SC are the first decentralized methods to achieve provable acceleration over unbalanced directed graphs. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of both methods.

In the 90's Clark, Colbourn and Johnson wrote a seminal paper where they proved that maximum clique can be solved in polynomial time in unit disk graphs. Since then, the complexity of maximum clique in intersection graphs of d-dimensional (unit) balls has been investigated. For ball graphs, the problem is NP-hard, as shown by Bonamy et al. (FOCS '18). They also gave an efficient polynomial time approximation scheme (EPTAS) for disk graphs. However, the complexity of maximum clique in this setting remains unknown. In this paper, we show the existence of a polynomial time algorithm for a geometric superclass of unit disk graphs. Moreover, we give partial results toward obtaining an EPTAS for intersection graphs of convex pseudo-disks.

The null space of the $k$-th order Laplacian $\mathbf{\mathcal L}_k$, known as the {\em $k$-th homology vector space}, encodes the non-trivial topology of a manifold or a network. Understanding the structure of the homology embedding can thus disclose geometric or topological information from the data. The study of the null space embedding of the graph Laplacian $\mathbf{\mathcal L}_0$ has spurred new research and applications, such as spectral clustering algorithms with theoretical guarantees and estimators of the Stochastic Block Model. In this work, we investigate the geometry of the $k$-th homology embedding and focus on cases reminiscent of spectral clustering. Namely, we analyze the {\em connected sum} of manifolds as a perturbation to the direct sum of their homology embeddings. We propose an algorithm to factorize the homology embedding into subspaces corresponding to a manifold's simplest topological components. The proposed framework is applied to the {\em shortest homologous loop detection} problem, a problem known to be NP-hard in general. Our spectral loop detection algorithm scales better than existing methods and is effective on diverse data such as point clouds and images.

Co-evolving time series appears in a multitude of applications such as environmental monitoring, financial analysis, and smart transportation. This paper aims to address the following challenges, including (C1) how to incorporate explicit relationship networks of the time series; (C2) how to model the implicit relationship of the temporal dynamics. We propose a novel model called Network of Tensor Time Series, which is comprised of two modules, including Tensor Graph Convolutional Network (TGCN) and Tensor Recurrent Neural Network (TRNN). TGCN tackles the first challenge by generalizing Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) for flat graphs to tensor graphs, which captures the synergy between multiple graphs associated with the tensors. TRNN leverages tensor decomposition to model the implicit relationships among co-evolving time series. The experimental results on five real-world datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
