Learnability is a Compact Property

no code implementations15 Feb 2024 Julian Asilis, Siddartha Devic, Shaddin Dughmi, Vatsal Sharan, Shang-Hua Teng

Furthermore, the learnability of such problems can fail to be a property of finite character: informally, it cannot be detected by examining finite projections of the problem.

Regularization and Optimal Multiclass Learning

no code implementations24 Sep 2023 Julian Asilis, Siddartha Devic, Shaddin Dughmi, Vatsal Sharan, Shang-Hua Teng

We demonstrate that an agnostic version of the Hall complexity again characterizes error rates exactly, and exhibit an optimal learner using maximum entropy programs.

Quantum Combinatorial Games: Structures and Computational Complexity

no code implementations7 Nov 2020 Kyle Burke, Matthew Ferland, Shang-Hua Teng

The beauty of quantum games-succinct in representation, rich in structures, explosive in complexity, dazzling for visualization, and sophisticated for strategic reasoning-has drawn us to play concrete games full of subtleties and to characterize abstract properties pertinent to complexity consequence.

Network Essence: PageRank Completion and Centrality-Conforming Markov Chains

no code implementations25 Aug 2017 Shang-Hua Teng

In the age of social and information networks, I will then turn the discussion from geometric structures to network structures, attempting to take a humble step towards the holy grail of network science, that is to understand the network essence that underlies the observed sparse-and-multifaceted network data.

Spectral Sparsification of Random-Walk Matrix Polynomials

no code implementations12 Feb 2015 Dehua Cheng, Yu Cheng, Yan Liu, Richard Peng, Shang-Hua Teng

Our work is particularly motivated by the algorithmic problems for speeding up the classic Newton's method in applications such as computing the inverse square-root of the precision matrix of a Gaussian random field, as well as computing the $q$th-root transition (for $q\geq1$) in a time-reversible Markov model.

Efficient Clustering with Limited Distance Information

no code implementations9 Aug 2014 Konstantin Voevodski, Maria-Florina Balcan, Heiko Roglin, Shang-Hua Teng, Yu Xia

Given a point set S and an unknown metric d on S, we study the problem of efficiently partitioning S into k clusters while querying few distances between the points.

Smoothed Analysis of Algorithms: Why the Simplex Algorithm Usually Takes Polynomial Time

no code implementations19 Nov 2001 Daniel A. Spielman, Shang-Hua Teng

We measure this performance in terms of both the input size and the magnitude of the perturbations.
