In a Subgraph Problem we are given some graph and want to find a feasible subgraph that optimizes some measure. We consider Multistage Subgraph Problems (MSPs), where we are given a sequence of graph instances (stages) and are asked to find a sequence of subgraphs, one for each stage, such that each is optimal for its respective stage and the subgraphs for subsequent stages are as similar as possible. We present a framework that provides a $(1/\sqrt{2\chi})$-approximation algorithm for the $2$-stage restriction of an MSP if the similarity of subsequent solutions is measured as the intersection cardinality and said MSP is preficient, i.e., we can efficiently find a single-stage solution that prefers some given subset. The approximation factor is dependent on the instance's intertwinement $\chi$, a similarity measure for multistage graphs. We also show that for any MSP, independent of similarity measure and preficiency, given an exact or approximation algorithm for a constant number of stages, we can approximate the MSP for an unrestricted number of stages. Finally, we combine and apply these results and show that the above restrictions describe a very rich class of MSPs and that proving membership for this class is mostly straightforward. As examples, we explicitly state these proofs for natural multistage versions of Perfect Matching, Shortest s-t-Path, Minimum s-t-Cut and further classical problems on bipartite or planar graphs, namely Maximum Cut, Vertex Cover, Independent Set, and Biclique.

With the emergence of privacy leaks in federated learning, secure aggregation protocols that mainly adopt either homomorphic encryption or threshold secret sharing have been widely developed for federated learning to protect the privacy of the local training data of each client. However, these existing protocols suffer from many shortcomings, such as the dependence on a trusted third party, the vulnerability to clients being corrupted, low efficiency, the trade-off between security and fault tolerance, etc. To solve these disadvantages, we propose an efficient and multi-private key secure aggregation scheme for federated learning. Specifically, we skillfully modify the variant ElGamal encryption technique to achieve homomorphic addition operation, which has two important advantages: 1) The server and each client can freely select public and private keys without introducing a trust third party and 2) Compared to the variant ElGamal encryption, the plaintext space is relatively large, which is more suitable for the deep model. Besides, for the high dimensional deep model parameter, we introduce a super-increasing sequence to compress multi-dimensional data into 1-D, which can greatly reduce encryption and decryption times as well as communication for ciphertext transmission. Detailed security analyses show that our proposed scheme achieves the semantic security of both individual local gradients and the aggregated result while achieving optimal robustness in tolerating both client collusion and dropped clients. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the accuracy of our scheme is almost the same as the non-private approach, while the efficiency of our scheme is much better than the state-of-the-art homomorphic encryption-based secure aggregation schemes. More importantly, the efficiency advantages of our scheme will become increasingly prominent as the number of model parameters increases.

In many applications, the labeled data at the learner's disposal is subject to privacy constraints and is relatively limited. To derive a more accurate predictor for the target domain, it is often beneficial to leverage publicly available labeled data from an alternative domain, somewhat close to the target domain. This is the modern problem of supervised domain adaptation from a public source to a private target domain. We present two $(\epsilon, \delta)$-differentially private adaptation algorithms for supervised adaptation, for which we make use of a general optimization problem, recently shown to benefit from favorable theoretical learning guarantees. Our first algorithm is designed for regression with linear predictors and shown to solve a convex optimization problem. Our second algorithm is a more general solution for loss functions that may be non-convex but Lipschitz and smooth. While our main objective is a theoretical analysis, we also report the results of several experiments first demonstrating that the non-private versions of our algorithms outperform adaptation baselines and next showing that, for larger values of the target sample size or $\epsilon$, the performance of our private algorithms remains close to that of the non-private formulation.

Leveraging second-order information at the scale of deep networks is one of the main lines of approach for improving the performance of current optimizers for deep learning. Yet, existing approaches for accurate full-matrix preconditioning, such as Full-Matrix Adagrad (GGT) or Matrix-Free Approximate Curvature (M-FAC) suffer from massive storage costs when applied even to medium-scale models, as they must store a sliding window of gradients, whose memory requirements are multiplicative in the model dimension. In this paper, we address this issue via an efficient and simple-to-implement error-feedback technique that can be applied to compress preconditioners by up to two orders of magnitude in practice, without loss of convergence. Specifically, our approach compresses the gradient information via sparsification or low-rank compression \emph{before} it is fed into the preconditioner, feeding the compression error back into future iterations. Extensive experiments on deep neural networks for vision show that this approach can compress full-matrix preconditioners by up to two orders of magnitude without impact on accuracy, effectively removing the memory overhead of full-matrix preconditioning for implementations of full-matrix Adagrad (GGT) and natural gradient (M-FAC).

Point processes model the occurrence of a countable number of random points over some support. They can model diverse phenomena, such as chemical reactions, stock market transactions and social interactions. We show that JumpProcesses.jl is a fast, general-purpose library for simulating point processes. JumpProcesses.jl was first developed for simulating jump processes via stochastic simulation algorithms (SSAs) (including Doob's method, Gillespie's methods, and Kinetic Monte Carlo methods). Historically, jump processes have been developed in the context of dynamical systems to describe dynamics with discrete jumps. In contrast, the development of point processes has been more focused on describing the occurrence of random events. In this paper, we bridge the gap between the treatment of point and jump process simulation. The algorithms previously included in JumpProcesses.jl can be mapped to three general methods developed in statistics for simulating evolutionary point processes. Our comparative exercise revealed that the library initially lacked an efficient algorithm for simulating processes with variable intensity rates. We, therefore, extended JumpProcesses.jl with a new simulation algorithm, Coevolve, that enables the rapid simulation of processes with locally-bounded variable intensity rates. It is now possible to efficiently simulate any point process on the real line with a non-negative, left-continuous, history-adapted and locally bounded intensity rate coupled or not with differential equations. This extension significantly improves the computational performance of JumpProcesses.jl when simulating such processes, enabling it to become one of the few readily available, fast, general-purpose libraries for simulating evolutionary point processes.

We propose a new method for optimistic planning in infinite-horizon discounted Markov decision processes based on the idea of adding regularization to the updates of an otherwise standard approximate value iteration procedure. This technique allows us to avoid contraction and monotonicity arguments typically required by existing analyses of approximate dynamic programming methods, and in particular to use approximate transition functions estimated via least-squares procedures in MDPs with linear function approximation. We use our method to recover known guarantees in tabular MDPs and to provide a computationally efficient algorithm for learning near-optimal policies in discounted linear mixture MDPs from a single stream of experience, and show it achieves near-optimal statistical guarantees.

The bandits with knapsack (BwK) framework models online decision-making problems in which an agent makes a sequence of decisions subject to resource consumption constraints. The traditional model assumes that each action consumes a non-negative amount of resources and the process ends when the initial budgets are fully depleted. We study a natural generalization of the BwK framework which allows non-monotonic resource utilization, i.e., resources can be replenished by a positive amount. We propose a best-of-both-worlds primal-dual template that can handle any online learning problem with replenishment for which a suitable primal regret minimizer exists. In particular, we provide the first positive results for the case of adversarial inputs by showing that our framework guarantees a constant competitive ratio $\alpha$ when $B=\Omega(T)$ or when the possible per-round replenishment is a positive constant. Moreover, under a stochastic input model, our algorithm yields an instance-independent $\tilde{O}(T^{1/2})$ regret bound which complements existing instance-dependent bounds for the same setting. Finally, we provide applications of our framework to some economic problems of practical relevance.

We study social learning dynamics where the agents collectively follow a simple multi-armed bandit protocol. Agents arrive sequentially, choose arms and receive associated rewards. Each agent observes the full history (arms and rewards) of the previous agents, and there are no private signals. While collectively the agents face exploration-exploitation tradeoff, each agent acts myopically, without regards to exploration. Motivating scenarios concern reviews and ratings on online platforms. We allow a wide range of myopic behaviors that are consistent with (parameterized) confidence intervals, including the "unbiased" behavior as well as various behaviorial biases. While extreme versions of these behaviors correspond to well-known bandit algorithms, we prove that more moderate versions lead to stark exploration failures, and consequently to regret rates that are linear in the number of agents. We provide matching upper bounds on regret by analyzing "moderately optimistic" agents. As a special case of independent interest, we obtain a general result on failure of the greedy algorithm in multi-armed bandits. This is the first such result in the literature, to the best of our knowledge.

The shortest path problem is a typical problem in graph theory with wide potential applications. The state-of-the-art single-source shortest paths algorithm on the weight graph is the $\Delta$-stepping algorithm, which can efficiently process weighted graphs in parallel. DAWN is an algorithm that addresses the shortest path problem on unweighted graphs, and we propose a weighted version that can handle graphs with weights edges, while maintaining the high scalability and parallelism features as DAWN. The novel version requires $O(\mu m)$ and $O(\mu \cdot E_{wcc})$ times on the connected and unconnected graphs for SSSP problems, respectively. $E_{wcc}$ denote the number of edges included in the largest weakly connected component, and $\mu$ is a constant denoting the average number of path transformations in the tasks. We tested the weighted version on the real graphs from Stanford Network Analysis Platform and SuiteSparse Matrix Collection, which outperformed the solution of $\Delta$-stepping algorithm from Gunrock, achieving a speedup of 43.163$\times$.

Inference and simulation in the context of high-dimensional dynamical systems remain computationally challenging problems. Some form of dimensionality reduction is required to make the problem tractable in general. In this paper, we propose a novel approximate Gaussian filtering and smoothing method which propagates low-rank approximations of the covariance matrices. This is accomplished by projecting the Lyapunov equations associated with the prediction step to a manifold of low-rank matrices, which are then solved by a recently developed, numerically stable, dynamical low-rank integrator. Meanwhile, the update steps are made tractable by noting that the covariance update only transforms the column space of the covariance matrix, which is low-rank by construction. The algorithm differentiates itself from existing ensemble-based approaches in that the low-rank approximations of the covariance matrices are deterministic, rather than stochastic. Crucially, this enables the method to reproduce the exact Kalman filter as the low-rank dimension approaches the true dimensionality of the problem. Our method reduces computational complexity from cubic (for the Kalman filter) to \emph{quadratic} in the state-space size in the worst-case, and can achieve \emph{linear} complexity if the state-space model satisfies certain criteria. Through a set of experiments in classical data-assimilation and spatio-temporal regression, we show that the proposed method consistently outperforms the ensemble-based methods in terms of error in the mean and covariance with respect to the exact Kalman filter. This comes at no additional cost in terms of asymptotic computational complexity.
