Approximating Pareto Sum via Bounded Monotone Min-Plus Convolution

Authors: Geri Gokaj, Marvin Künnemann, Sabine Storandt, and Carina Truschel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 367, 42nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2026)

Abstract
The Pareto sum of two-dimensional point sets P and Q in ℝ² is defined as the skyline of the points in their Minkowski sum. The problem of efficiently computing the Pareto sum arises frequently in bi-criteria optimization algorithms. Prior work establishes that computing the Pareto sum of sets P and Q of size n suffers from conditional lower bounds that rule out strongly subquadratic O(n^{2-ε})-time algorithms, even when the output size is Θ(n). Naturally, we ask: How efficiently can we approximate Pareto sums, both in theory and practice? Can we beat the near-quadratic-time state of the art for exact algorithms? On the theoretical side, we formulate a notion of additively approximate Pareto sets and show that computing an approximate Pareto set is fine-grained equivalent to Bounded Monotone Min-Plus Convolution. Leveraging a remarkable Õ(n^{1.5})-time algorithm for the latter problem (Chi, Duan, Xie, Zhang; STOC '22), we thus obtain a strongly subquadratic (and conditionally optimal) approximation algorithm for computing Pareto sums. On the practical side, we engineer different algorithmic approaches for approximating Pareto sets on realistic instances. Our implementations enable a granular trade-off between approximation quality and running time/output size compared to the state of the art for exact algorithms established in (Funke, Hespe, Sanders, Storandt, Truschel; Algorithmica '25). Perhaps surprisingly, the (theoretical) connection to Bounded Monotone Min-Plus Convolution remains beneficial even for our implementations: in particular, we implement a simplified, yet still subquadratic version of an algorithm due to Chi, Duan, Xie and Zhang, which on some sufficiently large instances outperforms the competing quadratic-time approaches.

Automating Invoice Validation with Knowledge Graphs: Optimizations and Practical Lessons

Authors: Johannes Mäkelburg and Maribel Acosta

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
To increase the efficiency of creating, distributing, and processing of invoices, invoicing is handled in the form of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). With EDI, invoices are handled in a standardized electronic or digital format rather than on paper. While EDIFACT is widely used for electronic invoicing, there is no standardized approach for validating its content. In this work, we tackle the problem of automatically validating electronic invoices in the EDIFACT format by leveraging KG technologies. We build on a previously developed pipeline that transforms EDIFACT invoices into RDF knowledge graphs (KGs). The resulting graphs are validated using SHACL constraints defined in collaboration with domain experts. In this work, we improve the pipeline by enhancing the correctness of the invoice representation, reducing validation time, and introducing error prioritization through the use of the severity predicate in SHACL. These improvements make validation results easier to interpret and significantly reduce the manual effort required. Our evaluation confirms that the approach is correct, efficient, and practical for real-world use.

DiVerG: Scalable Distance Index for Validation of Paired-End Alignments in Sequence Graphs

Authors: Ali Ghaffaari, Alexander Schönhuth, and Tobias Marschall

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 344, 25th International Conference on Algorithms for Bioinformatics (WABI 2025)

Abstract
Determining the distance between two loci within a genomic region is a recurrent operation in various tasks in computational genomics. A notable example of this task arises in paired-end read mapping as a form of validation of distances between multiple alignments. While straightforward for a single genome, graph-based reference structures render the operation considerably more involved. Given the sheer number of such queries in a typical read mapping experiment, an efficient algorithm for answering distance queries is crucial. In this paper, we introduce DiVerG, a compact data structure as well as a fast and scalable algorithm, for constructing distance indexes for general sequence graphs on multi-core CPU and many-core GPU architectures. DiVerG is based on PairG [Jain et al., 2019], but overcomes the limitations of PairG by exploiting the extensive potential for improvements in terms of scalability and space efficiency. As a consequence, DiVerG can process substantially larger datasets, such as whole human genomes, which are unmanageable by PairG. DiVerG offers faster index construction time and consistently faster query time with gains proportional to the size of the underlying compact data structure. We demonstrate that our method performs favorably on multiple real datasets at various scales. DiVerG achieves superior performance over PairG; e.g. resulting to 2.5-4x speed-up in query time, 44-340x smaller index size, and 3-50x faster construction time for the genome graph of the MHC region, as a particularly variable region of the human genome.

On Assessing ML Model Robustness: A Methodological Framework (Academic Track)

Authors: Afef Awadid and Boris Robert

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 126, Symposium on Scaling AI Assessments (SAIA 2024)

Abstract
Due to their uncertainty and vulnerability to adversarial attacks, machine learning (ML) models can lead to severe consequences, including the loss of human life, when embedded in safety-critical systems such as autonomous vehicles. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the empirical robustness of such models before integrating them into these systems. ML model robustness refers to the ability of an ML model to be insensitive to input perturbations and maintain its performance. Against this background, the Confiance.ai research program proposes a methodological framework for assessing the empirical robustness of ML models. The framework encompasses methodological processes (guidelines) captured in Capella models, along with a set of supporting tools. This paper aims to provide an overview of this framework and its application in an industrial setting.

A View on Vulnerabilites: The Security Challenges of XAI (Academic Track)

Authors: Elisabeth Pachl, Fabian Langer, Thora Markert, and Jeanette Miriam Lorenz

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 126, Symposium on Scaling AI Assessments (SAIA 2024)

Abstract
Modern deep learning methods have long been considered as black-boxes due to their opaque decision-making processes. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), however, has turned the tables: it provides insight into how these models work, promoting transparency that is crucial for accountability. Yet, recent developments in adversarial machine learning have highlighted vulnerabilities in XAI methods, raising concerns about security, reliability and trustworthiness, particularly in sensitive areas like healthcare and autonomous systems. Awareness of the potential risks associated with XAI is needed as its adoption increases, driven in part by the need to enhance compliance to regulations. This survey provides a holistic perspective on the security and safety landscape surrounding XAI, categorizing research on adversarial attacks against XAI and the misuse of explainability to enhance attacks on AI systems, such as evasion and privacy breaches. Our contribution includes identifying current insecurities in XAI and outlining future research directions in adversarial XAI. This work serves as an accessible foundation and outlook to recognize potential research gaps and define future directions. It identifies data modalities, such as time-series or graph data, and XAI methods that have not been extensively investigated for vulnerabilities in current research.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in applying AI technologies to implement complex data analytics over data streams. To this end, researchers in various fields have been organising a yearly event called the "Stream Reasoning Workshop" to share perspectives, challenges, and experiences around this topic. In this paper, the previous organisers of the workshops and other community members provide a summary of the main research results that have been discussed during the first six editions of the event. These results can be categorised into four main research areas: The first is concerned with the technological challenges related to handling large data streams. The second area aims at adapting and extending existing semantic technologies to data streams. The third and fourth areas focus on how to implement reasoning techniques, either considering deductive or inductive techniques, to extract new and valuable knowledge from the data in the stream. This summary is written not only to provide a crystallisation of the field, but also to point out distinctive traits of the stream reasoning community. Moreover, it also provides a foundation for future research by enumerating a list of use cases and open challenges, to stimulate others to join this exciting research area.

05462 Session Summary – "Cross Cutting Concerns"

Authors: Heiko Ludwig and Charles Petrie

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5462, Service Oriented Computing (SOC) (2006)

Abstract
A session on cross cutting concerns of Web services necessarily addresses a multitude of domains, unlike the other 'core' working groups focusing on development and life-cycle, foundations, composition, and management. A cross-cutting issue is a topic that relates to a multiple or all of the core subjects but cannot be address in the context of a single core workgroup.
