Join Sampling Under Acyclic Degree Constraints and (Cyclic) Subgraph Sampling

Authors: Ru Wang and Yufei Tao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 290, 27th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2024)


Abstract
Given a (natural) join with an acyclic set of degree constraints (the join itself does not need to be acyclic), we show how to draw a uniformly random sample from the join result in O(polymat/max{1, OUT}) expected time (assuming data complexity) after a preprocessing phase of O(IN) expected time, where IN, OUT, and polymat are the join’s input size, output size, and polymatroid bound, respectively. This compares favorably with the state of the art (Deng et al. and Kim et al., both in PODS'23), which states that, in the absence of degree constraints, a uniformly random sample can be drawn in Õ(AGM/max{1, OUT}) expected time after a preprocessing phase of Õ(IN) expected time, where AGM is the join’s AGM bound and Õ(.) hides a polylog(IN) factor. Our algorithm applies to every join supported by the solutions of Deng et al. and Kim et al. Furthermore, since the polymatroid bound is at most the AGM bound, our performance guarantees are never worse, but can be considerably better, than those of Deng et al. and Kim et al. We then utilize our techniques to tackle directed subgraph sampling, a problem that has extensive database applications and bears close relevance to joins. Let G = (V, E) be a directed data graph where each vertex has an out-degree at most λ, and let P be a directed pattern graph with a constant number of vertices. The objective is to uniformly sample an occurrence of P in G. The problem can be modeled as join sampling with input size IN = Θ(|E|) but, whenever P contains cycles, the converted join has cyclic degree constraints. We show that it is always possible to throw away certain degree constraints such that (i) the remaining constraints are acyclic and (ii) the new join has asymptotically the same polymatroid bound polymat as the old one. Combining this finding with our new join sampling solution yields an algorithm to sample from the original (cyclic) join (thereby yielding a uniformly random occurrence of P) in O(polymat/max{1, OUT}) expected time after O(|E|) expected-time preprocessing, where OUT is the number of occurrences.

Decomposition of Zero-Dimensional Persistence Modules via Rooted Subsets

Authors: Ángel Javier Alonso and Michael Kerber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 258, 39th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2023)


Abstract
We study the decomposition of zero-dimensional persistence modules, viewed as functors valued in the category of vector spaces factorizing through sets. Instead of working directly at the level of vector spaces, we take a step back and first study the decomposition problem at the level of sets. This approach allows us to define the combinatorial notion of rooted subsets. In the case of a filtered metric space M, rooted subsets relate the clustering behavior of the points of M with the decomposition of the associated persistence module. In particular, we can identify intervals in such a decomposition quickly. In addition, rooted subsets can be understood as a generalization of the elder rule, and are also related to the notion of constant conqueror of Cai, Kim, Mémoli and Wang. As an application, we give a lower bound on the number of intervals that we can expect in the decomposition of zero-dimensional persistence modules of a density-Rips filtration in Euclidean space: in the limit, and under very general circumstances, we can expect that at least 25% of the indecomposable summands are interval modules.

Loss Minimization Through the Lens Of Outcome Indistinguishability

Authors: Parikshit Gopalan, Lunjia Hu, Michael P. Kim, Omer Reingold, and Udi Wieder

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 251, 14th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2023)


Abstract
We present a new perspective on loss minimization and the recent notion of Omniprediction through the lens of Outcome Indistingusihability. For a collection of losses and hypothesis class, omniprediction requires that a predictor provide a loss-minimization guarantee simultaneously for every loss in the collection compared to the best (loss-specific) hypothesis in the class. We present a generic template to learn predictors satisfying a guarantee we call Loss Outcome Indistinguishability. For a set of statistical tests - based on a collection of losses and hypothesis class - a predictor is Loss OI if it is indistinguishable (according to the tests) from Nature’s true probabilities over outcomes. By design, Loss OI implies omniprediction in a direct and intuitive manner. We simplify Loss OI further, decomposing it into a calibration condition plus multiaccuracy for a class of functions derived from the loss and hypothesis classes. By careful analysis of this class, we give efficient constructions of omnipredictors for interesting classes of loss functions, including non-convex losses. This decomposition highlights the utility of a new multi-group fairness notion that we call calibrated multiaccuracy, which lies in between multiaccuracy and multicalibration. We show that calibrated multiaccuracy implies Loss OI for the important set of convex losses arising from Generalized Linear Models, without requiring full multicalibration. For such losses, we show an equivalence between our computational notion of Loss OI and a geometric notion of indistinguishability, formulated as Pythagorean theorems in the associated Bregman divergence. We give an efficient algorithm for calibrated multiaccuracy with computational complexity comparable to that of multiaccuracy. In all, calibrated multiaccuracy offers an interesting tradeoff point between efficiency and generality in the omniprediction landscape.

Making Decisions Under Outcome Performativity

Authors: Michael P. Kim and Juan C. Perdomo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 251, 14th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2023)


Abstract
Decision-makers often act in response to data-driven predictions, with the goal of achieving favorable outcomes. In such settings, predictions don’t passively forecast the future; instead, predictions actively shape the distribution of outcomes they are meant to predict. This performative prediction setting [Brown et al., 2022] raises new challenges for learning "optimal" decision rules. In particular, existing solution concepts do not address the apparent tension between the goals of forecasting outcomes accurately and steering individuals to achieve desirable outcomes. To contend with this concern, we introduce a new optimality concept - performative omniprediction - adapted from the supervised (non-performative) learning setting [Gopalan et al., 2022]. A performative omnipredictor is a single predictor that simultaneously encodes the optimal decision rule with respect to many possibly-competing objectives. Our main result demonstrates that efficient performative omnipredictors exist, under a natural restriction of performative prediction, which we call outcome performativity. On a technical level, our results follow by carefully generalizing the notion of outcome indistinguishability [Cynthia Dwork et al., 2021] to the outcome performative setting. From an appropriate notion of Performative OI, we recover many consequences known to hold in the supervised setting, such as omniprediction and universal adaptability [Kim et al., 2022].

Preference-Informed Fairness

Authors: Michael P. Kim, Aleksandra Korolova, Guy N. Rothblum, and Gal Yona

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 151, 11th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2020)


Abstract
In this work, we study notions of fairness in decision-making systems when individuals have diverse preferences over the possible outcomes of the decisions. Our starting point is the seminal work of Dwork et al. [ITCS 2012] which introduced a notion of individual fairness (IF): given a task-specific similarity metric, every pair of individuals who are similarly qualified according to the metric should receive similar outcomes. We show that when individuals have diverse preferences over outcomes, requiring IF may unintentionally lead to less-preferred outcomes for the very individuals that IF aims to protect (e.g. a protected minority group). A natural alternative to IF is the classic notion of fair division, envy-freeness (EF): no individual should prefer another individual’s outcome over their own. Although EF allows for solutions where all individuals receive a highly-preferred outcome, EF may also be overly-restrictive for the decision-maker. For instance, if many individuals agree on the best outcome, then if any individual receives this outcome, they all must receive it, regardless of each individual’s underlying qualifications for the outcome. We introduce and study a new notion of preference-informed individual fairness (PIIF) that is a relaxation of both individual fairness and envy-freeness. At a high-level, PIIF requires that outcomes satisfy IF-style constraints, but allows for deviations provided they are in line with individuals' preferences. We show that PIIF can permit outcomes that are more favorable to individuals than any IF solution, while providing considerably more flexibility to the decision-maker than EF. In addition, we show how to efficiently optimize any convex objective over the outcomes subject to PIIF for a rich class of individual preferences. Finally, we demonstrate the broad applicability of the PIIF framework by extending our definitions and algorithms to the multiple-task targeted advertising setting introduced by Dwork and Ilvento [ITCS 2019].

New Results on Directed Edge Dominating Set

Authors: Rémy Belmonte, Tesshu Hanaka, Ioannis Katsikarelis, Eun Jung Kim, and Michael Lampis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)


Abstract
We study a family of generalizations of Edge Dominating Set on directed graphs called Directed (p,q)-Edge Dominating Set. In this problem an arc (u,v) is said to dominate itself, as well as all arcs which are at distance at most q from v, or at distance at most p to u. First, we give significantly improved FPT algorithms for the two most important cases of the problem, (0,1)-dEDS and (1,1)-dEDS (that correspond to versions of Dominating Set on line graphs), as well as polynomial kernels. We also improve the best-known approximation for these cases from logarithmic to constant. In addition, we show that (p,q)-dEDS is FPT parameterized by p+q+tw, but W-hard parameterized just by tw, where tw is the treewidth of the underlying graph of the input. We then go on to focus on the complexity of the problem on tournaments. Here, we provide a complete classification for every possible fixed value of p,q, which shows that the problem exhibits a surprising behavior, including cases which are in P; cases which are solvable in quasi-polynomial time but not in P; and a single case (p=q=1) which is NP-hard (under randomized reductions) and cannot be solved in sub-exponential time, under standard assumptions.

On Estimating Edit Distance: Alignment, Dimension Reduction, and Embeddings

Authors: Moses Charikar, Ofir Geri, Michael P. Kim, and William Kuszmaul

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


Abstract
Edit distance is a fundamental measure of distance between strings and has been widely studied in computer science. While the problem of estimating edit distance has been studied extensively, the equally important question of actually producing an alignment (i.e., the sequence of edits) has received far less attention. Somewhat surprisingly, we show that any algorithm to estimate edit distance can be used in a black-box fashion to produce an approximate alignment of strings, with modest loss in approximation factor and small loss in run time. Plugging in the result of Andoni, Krauthgamer, and Onak, we obtain an alignment that is a (log n)^{O(1/epsilon^2)} approximation in time O~(n^{1 + epsilon}). Closely related to the study of approximation algorithms is the study of metric embeddings for edit distance. We show that min-hash techniques can be useful in designing edit distance embeddings through three results: (1) An embedding from Ulam distance (edit distance over permutations) to Hamming space that matches the best known distortion of O(log n) and also implicitly encodes a sequence of edits between the strings; (2) In the case where the edit distance between the input strings is known to have an upper bound K, we show that embeddings of edit distance into Hamming space with distortion f(n) can be modified in a black-box fashion to give distortion O(f(poly(K))) for a class of periodic-free strings; (3) A randomized dimension-reduction map with contraction c and asymptotically optimal expected distortion O(c), improving on the previous O~(c^{1 + 2 / log log log n}) distortion result of Batu, Ergun, and Sahinalp.

Being Even Slightly Shallow Makes Life Hard

Authors: Irene Muzi, Michael P. O'Brien, Felix Reidl, and Blair D. Sullivan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)


Abstract
We study the computational complexity of identifying dense substructures, namely r/2-shallow topological minors and r-subdivisions. Of particular interest is the case r = 1, when these substructures correspond to very localized relaxations of subgraphs. Since Densest Subgraph can be solved in polynomial time, we ask whether these slight relaxations also admit efficient algorithms. In the following, we provide a negative answer: Dense r/2-Shallow Topological Minor and Dense r-Subdivsion are already NP-hard for r = 1 in very sparse graphs. Further, they do not admit algorithms with running time 2^(o(tw^2)) n^O(1) when parameterized by the treewidth of the input graph for r > 2 unless ETH fails.

Ontology-based Extraction of Transcription Regulation Events

Authors: Jung-Jae Kim

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8131, Ontologies and Text Mining for Life Sciences : Current Status and Future Perspectives (2008)


Abstract
I present an on-going work on extraction of transcription regulation events from text by using an ontology which plays a central role in integrating information from different sources. The events of transcription regulation are expressed in the literature with a high degree of compositeness. They have elements such as event types, participants, and attributes. These elements are associated with different keywords, which should be merged into a shared structure. I use the Gene Regulation Ontology (GRO) for the integration purpose. It contains not only biological concepts related to transcription regulation, but also inference rules for deduction of specific event types and attributes from semantics of sentences. It is also used to represent the semantics of linguistic patterns that are used to identify the semantics of sentences. The ontology provides the formality which is required for the extraction of specific and well-defined events as those of transcription regulation.
