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.

Differential Privacy from Axioms

Authors: Guy Blanc, William Pires, and Toniann Pitassi

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

Abstract
Differential privacy (DP) is the de facto notion of privacy both in theory and in practice. However, despite its popularity, DP imposes strict requirements which guard against strong worst-case scenarios. For example, it guards against seemingly unrealistic scenarios where an attacker has full information about all but one point in the data set, and still nothing can be learned about the remaining point. While preventing such a strong attack is desirable, many works have explored whether average-case relaxations of DP are easier to satisfy [Hall et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2016; Bassily and Freund, 2016; Liu et al., 2023]. In this work, we are motivated by the question of whether alternate, weaker notions of privacy are possible: can a weakened privacy notion still guarantee some basic level of privacy, and on the other hand, achieve privacy more efficiently and/or for a substantially broader set of tasks? Our main result shows the answer is no: even in the statistical setting, any reasonable measure of privacy satisfying nontrivial composition is equivalent to DP. To prove this, we identify a core set of four axioms or desiderata: pre-processing invariance, prohibition of blatant non-privacy, strong composition, and linear scalability. Our main theorem shows that any privacy measure satisfying our axioms is equivalent to DP, up to polynomial factors in sample complexity. We complement this result by showing our axioms are minimal: removing any one of our axioms enables ill-behaved measures of privacy.

Simplicial Covering Dimension of Extremal Concept Classes

Authors: Ari Blondal, Hamed Hatami, Pooya Hatami, Chavdar Lalov, and Sivan Tretiak

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

Abstract
Dimension theory is a branch of topology concerned with defining and analyzing dimensions of geometric and topological spaces in purely topological terms. In this work, we adapt the classical notion of topological dimension (Lebesgue covering) to binary concept classes. The topological space naturally associated with a concept class is its space of realizable distributions. The loss function and the class itself induce a simplicial structure on this space, with respect to which we define a simplicial covering dimension. We prove that for finite concept classes, this simplicial covering dimension exactly characterizes the list replicability number (equivalently, global stability) in PAC learning. This connection allows us to apply tools from classical dimension theory to compute the exact list replicability number of the broad family of extremal concept classes.

Local Computation Algorithms for Knapsack: Impossibility Results, and How to Avoid Them

Authors: Clément L. Canonne, Yun Li, and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract
Local Computation Algorithms (LCA), as introduced by Rubinfeld, Tamir, Vardi, and Xie (2011), are a type of ultra-efficient algorithms which, given access to a (large) input for a given computational task, are required to provide fast query access to a consistent output solution, without maintaining a state between queries. This paradigm of computation in particular allows for hugely distributed algorithms, where independent instances of a given LCA provide consistent access to a common output solution. The past decade has seen a significant amount of work on LCAs, by and large focusing on graph problems. In this paper, we initiate the study of Local Computation Algorithms for perhaps the archetypal combinatorial optimization problem, Knapsack. We first establish strong impossibility results, ruling out the existence of any non-trivial LCA for Knapsack as several of its relaxations. We then show how equipping the LCA with additional access to the Knapsack instance, namely, weighted item sampling, allows one to circumvent these impossibility results, and obtain sublinear-time and query LCAs. Our positive result draws on a connection to the recent notion of reproducibility for learning algorithms (Impagliazzo, Lei, Pitassi, and Sorrell, 2022), a connection we believe to be of independent interest for the design of LCAs.

Model Ensembling for Constrained Optimization

Authors: Ira Globus Harris, Varun Gupta, Michael Kearns, and Aaron Roth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 329, 6th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2025)

Abstract
Many instances of decision making under objective uncertainty can be decomposed into two steps: predicting the objective function and then optimizing for the best feasible action under the estimate of the objective vector. We study the problem of ensembling models for optimization of uncertain linear objectives under arbitrary constraints. We imagine we are given a collection of predictive models mapping a feature space to multi-dimensional real-valued predictions, which form the coefficients of a linear objective that we would like to optimize. We give two ensembling methods that can provably result in transparent decisions that strictly improve on all initial policies. The first method operates in the "white box" setting in which we have access to the underlying prediction models and the second in the "black box" setting in which we only have access to the induced decisions (in the downstream optimization problem) of the constituent models, but not their underlying point predictions. They are transparent or trustworthy in the sense that the user can reliably predict long-term ensemble rewards even if the instance by instance predictions are imperfect.

When Does a Predictor Know Its Own Loss?

Authors: Aravind Gollakota, Parikshit Gopalan, Aayush Karan, Charlotte Peale, and Udi Wieder

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 329, 6th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2025)

Abstract
Given a predictor and a loss function, how well can we predict the loss that the predictor will incur on an input? This is the problem of loss prediction, a key computational task associated with uncertainty estimation for a predictor. In a classification setting, a predictor will typically predict a distribution over labels and hence have its own estimate of the loss that it will incur, given by the entropy of the predicted distribution. Should we trust this estimate? In other words, when does the predictor know what it knows and what it does not know? In this work we study the theoretical foundations of loss prediction. Our main contribution is to establish tight connections between nontrivial loss prediction and certain forms of multicalibration [Ursula Hébert-Johnson et al., 2018], a multigroup fairness notion that asks for calibrated predictions across computationally identifiable subgroups. Formally, we show that a loss predictor that is able to improve on the self-estimate of a predictor yields a witness to a failure of multicalibration, and vice versa. This has the implication that nontrivial loss prediction is in effect no easier or harder than auditing for multicalibration. We support our theoretical results with experiments that show a robust positive correlation between the multicalibration error of a predictor and the efficacy of training a loss predictor.

Kernel Multiaccuracy

Authors: Carol Xuan Long, Wael Alghamdi, Alexander Glynn, Yixuan Wu, and Flavio P. Calmon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 329, 6th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2025)

Abstract
Predefined demographic groups often overlook the subpopulations most impacted by model errors, leading to a growing emphasis on data-driven methods that pinpoint where models underperform. The emerging field of multi-group fairness addresses this by ensuring models perform well across a wide range of group-defining functions, rather than relying on fixed demographic categories. We demonstrate that recently introduced notions of multi-group fairness can be equivalently formulated as integral probability metrics (IPM). IPMs are the common information-theoretic tool that underlie definitions such as multiaccuracy, multicalibration, and outcome indistinguishably. For multiaccuracy, this connection leads to a simple, yet powerful procedure for achieving multiaccuracy with respect to an infinite-dimensional class of functions defined by a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS): first perform a kernel regression of a model’s errors, then subtract the resulting function from a model’s predictions. We combine these results to develop a post-processing method that improves multiaccuracy with respect to bounded-norm functions in an RKHS, enjoys provable performance guarantees, and, in binary classification benchmarks, achieves favorable multiaccuracy relative to competing methods.

The Randomness Complexity of Differential Privacy

Authors: Clément L. Canonne, Francis E. Su, and Salil P. Vadhan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)

Abstract
We initiate the study of the randomness complexity of differential privacy, i.e., how many random bits an algorithm needs in order to generate accurate differentially private releases. As a test case, we focus on the task of releasing the results of d counting queries, or equivalently all one-way marginals on a d-dimensional dataset with boolean attributes. While standard differentially private mechanisms for this task have randomness complexity that grows linearly with d, we show that, surprisingly, only log₂ d+O(1) random bits (in expectation) suffice to achieve an error that depends polynomially on d (and is independent of the size n of the dataset), and furthermore this is possible with pure, unbounded differential privacy and privacy-loss parameter ε = 1/poly(d). Conversely, we show that at least log₂ d-O(1) random bits are also necessary for nontrivial accuracy, even with approximate, bounded DP, provided the privacy-loss parameters satisfy ε,δ ≤ 1/poly(d). We obtain our results by establishing a close connection between the randomness complexity of differentially private mechanisms and the geometric notion of "deterministic rounding schemes" recently introduced and studied by Vander Woude et al. (2022, 2023).

On the Fine-Grained Complexity of Least Weight Subsequence in Multitrees and Bounded Treewidth DAGs

Authors: Jiawei Gao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 148, 14th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2019)

Abstract
This paper introduces a new technique that generalizes previously known fine-grained reductions from linear structures to graphs. Least Weight Subsequence (LWS) [Hirschberg and Larmore, 1987] is a class of highly sequential optimization problems with form F(j) = min_{i < j} [F(i) + c_{i,j}] . They can be solved in quadratic time using dynamic programming, but it is not known whether these problems can be solved faster than n^{2-o(1)} time. Surprisingly, each such problem is subquadratic time reducible to a highly parallel, non-dynamic programming problem [Marvin Künnemann et al., 2017]. In other words, if a "static" problem is faster than quadratic time, so is an LWS problem. For many instances of LWS, the sequential versions are equivalent to their static versions by subquadratic time reductions. The previous result applies to LWS on linear structures, and this paper extends this result to LWS on paths in sparse graphs, the Least Weight Subpath (LWSP) problems. When the graph is a multitree (i.e. a DAG where any pair of vertices can have at most one path) or when the graph is a DAG whose underlying undirected graph has constant treewidth, we show that LWSP on this graph is still subquadratically reducible to their corresponding static problems. For many instances, the graph versions are still equivalent to their static versions. Moreover, this paper shows that if we can decide a property of form Exists x Exists y P(x,y) in subquadratic time, where P is a quickly checkable property on a pair of elements, then on these classes of graphs, we can also in subquadratic time decide whether there exists a pair x,y in the transitive closure of the graph that also satisfy P(x,y).

Ring Packing and Amortized FHEW Bootstrapping

Authors: Daniele Miccianco and Jessica Sorrell

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 107, 45th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2018)

Abstract
The FHEW fully homomorphic encryption scheme (Ducas and Micciancio, Eurocrypt 2015) offers very fast homomorphic NAND-gate computations (on encrypted data) and a relatively fast refreshing procedure that allows to homomorphically evaluate arbitrary NAND boolean circuits. Unfortunately, the refreshing procedure needs to be executed after every single NAND computation, and each refreshing operates on a single encrypted bit, greatly decreasing the overall throughput of the scheme. We give a new refreshing procedure that simultaneously refreshes n FHEW ciphertexts, at a cost comparable to a single-bit FHEW refreshing operation. As a result, the cost of each refreshing is amortized over n encrypted bits, improving the throughput for the homomorphic evaluation of boolean circuits roughly by a factor n.
