Dimension-Free Correlated Sampling for the Hypersimplex

Authors: Joseph (Seffi) Naor, Nitya Raju, Abhishek Shetty, Aravind Srinivasan, Renata Valieva, and David Wajc

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
Sampling from multiple distributions so as to maximize overlap has been studied by statisticians since the 1950s. Since the 2000s, such correlated sampling from the probability simplex has been a powerful building block in disparate areas of theoretical computer science. We study a generalization of this problem to sampling sets from given vectors in the hypersimplex, i.e., outputting sets of size (at most) k ∈ [n], while maximizing the overlap of the sampled sets. Specifically, the expected difference between two output sets should be at most α times their input vectors' 𝓁₁ distance. A value of α = O(log n) is known to be achievable, due to Chen et al. (ICALP'17). We improve this factor to O(log k), independent of the ambient dimension n. Our algorithm satisfies other desirable properties, including (up to a log^* n factor) input-sparsity sampling time, logarithmic parallel depth and dynamic update time, as well as preservation of submodular objectives. Anticipating broader use of correlated sampling algorithms for the hypersimplex, we present applications of our algorithm to online paging, offline approximation of metric multi-labeling, and swift multi-scenario submodular welfare approximating reallocation.

Correlated Rounding of Multiple Uniform Matroids and Multi-Label Classification

Authors: Shahar Chen, Dotan Di Castro, Zohar Karnin, Liane Lewin-Eytan, Joseph (Seffi) Naor, and Roy Schwartz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 80, 44th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2017)

Abstract
We introduce correlated randomized dependent rounding where, given multiple points y^1,...,y^n in some polytope P\subseteq [0,1]^k, the goal is to simultaneously round each y^i to some integral z^i in P while preserving both marginal values and expected distances between the points. In addition to being a natural question in its own right, the correlated randomized dependent rounding problem is motivated by multi-label classification applications that arise in machine learning, e.g., classification of web pages, semantic tagging of images, and functional genomics. The results of this work can be summarized as follows: (1) we present an algorithm for solving the correlated randomized dependent rounding problem in uniform matroids while losing only a factor of O(log{k}) in the distances (k is the size of the ground set); (2) we introduce a novel multi-label classification problem, the metric multi-labeling problem, which captures the above applications. We present a (true) O(log{k})-approximation for the general case of metric multi-labeling and a tight 2-approximation for the special case where there is no limit on the number of labels that can be assigned to an object.
