Partial Recovery Bounds for the Sparse Stochastic Block Model

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we study the information-theoretic limits of community detection in the symmetric two-community stochastic block model, with intra-community and inter-community edge probabilities

\frac{a}{n}

and

\frac{b}{n}

respectively. We consider the ...

Overlapping Multi-Bandit Best Arm Identification

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In the multi-armed bandit literature, the multi-bandit best-arm identification problem consists of determining each best arm in a number of disjoint groups of arms, with as few total arm pulls as possible. In this paper, we introduce a variant of the multi ...

Adversarially Robust Optimization with Gaussian Processes

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of Gaussian process (GP) optimization with an added robustness requirement: The returned point may be perturbed by an adversary, and we require the function value to remain as high as possible even after this perturba ...

Phase Transitions in Group Testing

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are ``defective'' based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as medical testing, fault detection, communication protocols, pattern matching, and ...

Time-Varying Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

We consider the sequential Bayesian optimization problem with bandit feedback, adopting a formulation that allows for the reward function to vary with time. We model the reward function using a Gaussian process whose evolution obeys a simple Markov model. ...

Limits on Support Recovery with Probabilistic Models: An Information-Theoretic Framework

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The support recovery problem consists of deter- mining a sparse subset of a set of variables that is relevant in generating a set of observations, and arises in a diverse range of settings such as group testing, compressive sensing, and subset selection in ...

How little does non-exact recovery help in group testing?

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

We consider the group testing problem, in which one seeks to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on a number of tests. We characterize the information-theoretic performance limits in the presence of list decoding, in whi ...

Near-Optimal Noisy Group Testing via Separate Decoding of Items

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we revisit an efficient algorithm for noisy group testing in which each item is decoded separately (Malyutov and Mateev, 1980), and develop novel performance guarantees via an information-theoretic framework for general noise models. For the ...

A Distributed Algorithm for Partitioned Robust Submodular Maximization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Slobodan Mitrovic, Ilija Bogunovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, with two added twists: The computation is distributed across a number of machines, and we require the solution to be robust against adv ...
