Robust Adaptive Decision Making: Bayesian Optimization and Beyond

The central task in many interactive machine learning systems can be formalized as the sequential optimization of a black-box function. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful model-based framework for \emph{adaptive} experimentation, where the primary go ...

Local Approximation of the Maximum Cut in Regular Graphs

Etienne Michel François Bamas

This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any communication and ...

Analysis of a Canonical Labeling Algorithm for the Alignment of Correlated Erdős-Rényi Graphs

Matthias Grossglauser, Osman Emre Dai, Negar Kiyavash

Graph alignment in two correlated random graphs refers to the task of identifying the correspondence between vertex sets of the graphs. Recent results have characterized the exact information-theoretic threshold for graph alignment in correlated Erdös-Rény ...

An Interactive Gameplay to Crowdsource Multiple Sequence Alignment of Genome Sequences: Genenigma

Kalpani Anuradha Welivita

Comparative genomics is a field of research that compares genomes of different organisms to identify common patterns. It is a powerful method used to identify the genetic diseases that cause mutations. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is an intermediate s ...

The committee machine: computational to statistical gaps in learning a two-layers neural network

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová

Heuristic tools from statistical physics have been used in the past to locate the phase transitions and compute the optimal learning and generalization errors in the teacher-student scenario in multi-layer neural networks. In this paper, we provide a rigor ...

When Stuck, Flip a Coin : New Algorithms for Large-Scale Tasks

Slobodan Mitrovic

Many modern services need to routinely perform tasks on a large scale. This prompts us to consider the following question: How can we design efficient algorithms for large-scale computation? In this thesis, we focus on devising a general strategy to addr ...

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 ...

Near-Optimal Noisy Group Testing via Separate Decoding of Items

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a larger set of items based on a number of tests, and is relevant in applications such as medical testing, communication protocols, pattern matching, and more. In this pa ...

Ultra-coherent nano-mechanical resonators for quantum optomechanics at room temperature

Amir Hossein Ghadimi

Mechanical oscillators are among the most important scientific tools in the modern physics. From the pioneering experiments in 18th by founding fathers of modern physics such as Newton, Hooke and Cavendish to the ground braking experiments in the 21th cent ...
