Algorithmic Graph Minor Theory: Decomposition, Approximation, and Coloring
At the core of the seminal Graph Minor Theory of Robertson and Seymour is a powerful structural theorem capturing the structure of graphs excluding a fixed minor. This result is ...

On Learning Mixtures of Heavy-Tailed Distributions
We consider the problem of learning mixtures of arbitrary symmetric distributions. We formulate sufficient separation conditions and present a learning algorithm with provable gua...

Cryptography In the Bounded Quantum-Storage Model
We initiate the study of two-party cryptographic primitives with unconditional security, assuming that the adversary’s quantum memory is of bounded size. We show that oblivious ...

Group-theoretic Algorithms for Matrix Multiplication
We further develop the group-theoretic approach to fast matrix multiplication introduced by Cohn and Umans, and for the first time use it to derive algorithms asymptotically fast...

On the Complexity of Real Functions
We establish a new connection between the two most common traditions in the theory of real computation, the Blum-Shub-Smale model and the Computable Analysis approach. We then use...

On Non-Approximability for Quadratic Programs
This paper studies the computational complexity of the following type of quadratic programs: given an arbitrary matrix whose diagonal elements are zero, find x ∈ {−1, +1}n th...
