On the Computational Cost of Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Victor Charpenay, Mansour Zoubeirou A Mayaki, and Antoine Zimmermann

Published in: TGDK, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2026). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 4, Issue 1

Abstract
Over a decade, numerous Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) models have been designed and evaluated on reference datasets, always with increasing performance. In this paper, we re-evaluate these models with respect to their computational efficiency during training, by estimating the computational cost of the procedure expressed in floating-point operations. We design a cost model based on analytical expressions and apply it on a collection of 20 KGE models, representative of the state-of-the-art. We show that dimensionality or parameter efficiency, used in the literature to compare models with each other, are not suitable to evaluate the true cost of models. Through fixed-budget experiments, a novel approach to evaluate KGE models based on cost estimates, we re-assess the relative performance of model families compared to the state-of-the-art. Bilinear models such as ComplEx underperform with a low computational budget while hyperbolic linear models appear to offer no particular benefit compared to simpler Euclidian models, especially the MuRE model. Neural models, such as ConvE or CompGCN, achieve reasonable performance in the literature but their high computational cost appears unnecessary when compared with other models. The trade-off between efficiency and expressivity of both linear and neural models is to be further explored.

Symmetric Algebraic Circuits and Homomorphism Polynomials

Authors: Anuj Dawar, Benedikt Pago, and Tim Seppelt

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

Abstract
The central open question of algebraic complexity is whether VP ≠ VNP, which is saying that the permanent cannot be represented by families of polynomial-size algebraic circuits. For symmetric algebraic circuits, this has been confirmed by Dawar and Wilsenach (2020), who showed exponential lower bounds on the size of symmetric circuits for the permanent. In this work, we set out to develop a more general symmetric algebraic complexity theory. Our main result is that a family of symmetric polynomials admits small symmetric circuits if and only if they can be written as a linear combination of homomorphism counting polynomials of graphs of bounded treewidth. We also establish a relationship between the symmetric complexity of subgraph counting polynomials and the vertex cover number of the pattern graph. As a concrete example, we examine the symmetric complexity of immanant families (a generalisation of the determinant and permanent) and show that a known conditional dichotomy due to Curticapean (2021) holds unconditionally in the symmetric setting.

Multi-Quadratic Sum-Of-Squares Lower Bounds Imply VNC ¹ ≠ VNP

Authors: Benjamin Rossman and Davidson Zhu

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

Abstract
The sum-of-squares (SoS) complexity of a d-multiquadratic polynomial f (quadratic in each of d blocks of n variables) is the minimum s such that f = ∑_{i = 1}^s g_i² with each g_i d-multilinear. In the case d = 2, Hrubeš, Wigderson and Yehudayoff [Hrubeš et al., 2011] showed that an n^{1+Ω(1)} lower bound on the SoS complexity of explicit biquadratic polynomials implies an exponential lower bound for non-commutative arithmetic circuits. In this paper, we establish an analogous connection between general multiquadratic sum-of-squares and commutative arithmetic formulas. Specifically, we show that an n^{d-o(log d)} lower bound on the SoS complexity of explicit d-multiquadratic polynomials, for any d = d(n) with ω(1) ≤ d(n) ≤ O((log n)/(log log n)), would separate the algebraic complexity classes VNC¹ and VNP.

Where to Place Your TEE? In Search of a Censorship-Resilient Design for Rollup Sequencers

Authors: Andrei Arusoaie, Claudiu-Nicu Bărbieru, Oana-Otilia Captarencu, Pascal Felber, Corentin Libert, Emanuel Onica, Etienne Rivière, Valerio Schiavoni, and Peterson Yuhala

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 361, 29th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2025)

Abstract
Ethereum is the dominant blockchain ecosystem capable of executing Turing-complete smart contracts. Rollups gained significant traction as the primary layer 2 (L2) solution meant to bring horizontal scalability to the main Ethereum network (L1). A core component of any rollup is the sequencer, which creates new L2 blocks to be submitted in rollup batches to L1. In most of the current rollup architectures, this component is centralised. As a result, these designs are prone to inconspicuous censorship practices by the sequencer. Trusted execution environments (TEEs) can guarantee the integrity of various sequencer components, which is instrumental in addressing censorship. However, the reaction of the system design to censorship attempts depends on where a TEE is integrated and which components it protects. In particular, this reaction is limited in the case of a monolithic TEE-protected sequencer design. Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) is a non-monolithic paradigm adopted on L1, which separates the production of blocks from proposing them for inclusion in the blockchain. Recently, PBS has been considered for integration with L2 sequencers, with an impact on alleviating censorship. In this paper, we explore the design space of TEE-integrating PBS and non-PBS sequencer variants. First, we introduce a formal framework for the censorship actions that captures the specificity of the L2 sequencer. Then, we analyse to what extent the different designs address these censorship actions. Our main contribution is a novel design variation that allows for a precise observation of censored transactions. In the presence of TEEs, in a PBS setting, we demonstrate this precise observability, which is necessary to enable resilience to censorship.

A Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Capacity Fixed-Charge Flow Network Design

Authors: Caleb Eardley, Dalton Gomez, Ryan Dupuis, Michael Papadopoulos, and Sean Yaw

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 137, 25th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2025)

Abstract
The Multi-Capacity Fixed-Charge Network Flow (MC-FCNF) problem, a generalization of the Fixed-Charge Network Flow problem, aims to assign capacities to edges in a flow network such that a target amount of flow can be hosted at minimum cost. The cost model for both problems dictates that the fixed cost of an edge is incurred for any non-zero amount of flow hosted by that edge. This problem naturally arises in many areas including infrastructure design, transportation, telecommunications, and supply chain management. The MC-FCNF problem is NP-Hard, so solving large instances using exact techniques is impractical. This paper presents a genetic algorithm designed to quickly find high-quality flow solutions to the MC-FCNF problem. The genetic algorithm uses a novel solution representation scheme that eliminates the need to repair invalid flow solutions, which is an issue common to many other genetic algorithms for the MC-FCNF problem. The genetic algorithm’s utility is demonstrated with an evaluation using real-world CO₂ capture, transportation, and storage infrastructure design data. The evaluation results highlight the genetic algorithm’s potential for solving large-scale network design problems.

Optimistic MEV in Ethereum Layer 2s: Why Blockspace Is Always in Demand

Authors: Ozan Solmaz, Lioba Heimbach, Yann Vonlanthen, and Roger Wattenhofer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)

Abstract
Layer 2 rollups are rapidly absorbing DeFi activity, securing over $40 billion and accounting for nearly half of Ethereum’s DEX volume by Q1 2025, yet their MEV dynamics remain understudied. We address this gap by defining and quantifying optimistic MEV, a form of speculative, on-chain MEV whose detection and execution logic reside largely on-chain in smart contracts. As a result of their speculative nature and lack of off-chain opportunity verification, optimistic MEV transactions frequently decide not to execute any trades. In this work, we focus on cyclic arbitrage, which we find is predominantly executed as optimistic MEV on Layer 2s. Using our multi-stage identification pipeline on Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism, we show that in Q1 2025, transactions from cyclic arbitrage contracts account for over 50% of on-chain gas on Base and Optimism and 7% on Arbitrum, driven mainly by "interaction" probes (on-chain computations searching for arbitrage). This speculative probing indicates that cyclic arbitrage on Layer 2s is predominantly executed as optimistic MEV and contributes to generally keeping blocks on Base and Optimism persistently full. Despite consuming over half of on-chain gas, these optimistic MEV transactions pay less than one quarter of total gas fees. Cross-network comparison reveals divergent success rates, differing patterns of code reuse, and sensitivity to varying sequencer ordering and block production times. Finally, OLS regressions link optimistic MEV trade count to ETH volatility, retail trading activity, and DEX aggregator usage. Together, these findings show that optimistic MEV has become a major source of persistent spam-like transaction activity on Layer 2s, dominating blockspace with low-value probes and reshaping the composition of on-chain activity.

Min-Max Correlation Clustering via Neighborhood Similarity

Authors: Nairen Cao, Steven Roche, and Hsin-Hao Su

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
We present an efficient algorithm for the min-max correlation clustering problem. The input is a complete graph where edges are labeled as either positive (+) or negative (-), and the objective is to find a clustering that minimizes the 𝓁_∞-norm of the disagreement vector over all vertices. We address this problem with an efficient (3 + ε)-approximation algorithm that runs in nearly linear time, Õ(|E^+|), where |E^+| denotes the number of positive edges. This improves upon the previous best-known approximation guarantee of 4 by Heidrich, Irmai, and Andres [Heidrich et al., 2024], whose algorithm runs in O(|V|² + |V| D²) time, where |V| is the number of nodes and D is the maximum degree in the graph (V,E^+). Furthermore, we extend our algorithm to the massively parallel computation (MPC) model and the semi-streaming model. In the MPC model, our algorithm runs on machines with memory sublinear in the number of nodes and takes O(1) rounds. In the streaming model, our algorithm requires only Õ(|V|) space, where |V| is the number of vertices in the graph. Our algorithms are purely combinatorial. They are based on a novel structural observation about the optimal min-max instance, which enables the construction of a (3 + ε)-approximation algorithm using O(|E^+|) neighborhood similarity queries. By leveraging random projection, we further show these queries can be computed in nearly linear time.

Mixed-Initiative Dynamic Autonomy Through Variable Levels of Immersion and Control (MIDA-VIC): A New Paradigm for Collaborative Robotic Teleoperation in Space Exploration

Authors: Hans-Christian Jetter, Leon Raule, Jens Gerken, and Sören Pirk

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)

Abstract
In this position paper, we propose the new control paradigm and conceptual framework MIDA-VIC for collaborative robotic teleoperation in space exploration and beyond. Such teleoperation is a complex and demanding team effort with distributed responsibilities that require both efficient human-robot and human-human collaboration. To address these challenges, we propose a new paradigm of mixed-initiative dynamic autonomy for robotic teleoperation. It exploits recent advances in human-computer interaction (HCI), human-robot interaction (HRI), augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) research. By integrating methods from multiple fields, our paradigm allows human operators to choose their preferred level of immersion, from traditional 2D graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to fully immersive AR/VR environments. It also supports a dynamic adjustment of the level of control, ranging from direct motor commands (e.g., using a joystick) to high-level task delegation using AI (e.g., instructing the robot via natural language to select a path or explore autonomously). In addition, we propose a mixed-initiative paradigm in which a robot can also take the initiative, request human assistance, and propose the specific level of immersion and control to the human operator that it currently considers useful for effective and efficient collaboration.

Leakage-Resilience of Shamir’s Secret Sharing: Identifying Secure Evaluation Places

Authors: Jihun Hwang, Hemanta K. Maji, Hai H. Nguyen, and Xiuyu Ye

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 343, 6th Conference on Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC 2025)

Abstract
Can Shamir’s secret-sharing protect its secret even when all shares are partially compromised? For instance, repairing Reed-Solomon codewords, when possible, recovers the entire secret in the corresponding Shamir’s secret sharing. Yet, Shamir’s secret sharing mitigates various side-channel threats, depending on where its "secret-sharing polynomial" is evaluated. Although most evaluation places yield secure schemes, none are known explicitly; even techniques to identify them are unknown. Our work initiates research into such classifier constructions and derandomization objectives. In this work, we focus on Shamir’s scheme over prime fields, where every share is required to reconstruct the secret. We investigate the security of these schemes against single-bit probes into shares stored in their native binary representation. Technical analysis is particularly challenging when dealing with Reed-Solomon codewords over prime fields, as observed recently in the code repair literature. Furthermore, ensuring the statistical independence of the leakage from the secret necessitates the elimination of any subtle correlations between them. In this context, we present: 1) An efficient algorithm to classify evaluation places as secure or vulnerable against the least-significant-bit leakage. 2) Modulus choices where the classifier above extends to any single-bit probe per share. 3) Explicit modulus choices and secure evaluation places for them. On the way, we discover new bit-probing attacks on Shamir’s scheme, revealing surprising correlations between the leakage and the secret, leading to vulnerabilities when choosing evaluation places naïvely. Our results rely on new techniques to analyze the security of secret-sharing schemes against side-channel threats. We connect their leakage resilience to the orthogonality of square wave functions, which, in turn, depends on the 2-adic valuation of rational approximations. These techniques, novel to the security analysis of secret sharings, can potentially be of broader interest.

Color Refinement for Relational Structures

Authors: Benjamin Scheidt and Nicole Schweikardt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
Color Refinement, also known as Naive Vertex Classification, is a classical method to distinguish graphs by iteratively computing a coloring of their vertices. While it is traditionally used as an imperfect way to test for isomorphism, the algorithm has permeated many other, seemingly unrelated, areas of computer science. The method is algorithmically simple, and it has a well-understood distinguishing power: it has been logically characterized by Immerman and Lander (1990) and Cai, Fürer, Immerman (1992), who showed that it distinguishes precisely those graphs that can be distinguished by a sentence of first-order logic with counting quantifiers and only two variables. A combinatorial characterization was given by Dvořák (2010), who showed that it distinguishes precisely those graphs that differ in the number of homomorphisms from some tree. In this paper, we introduce Relational Color Refinement (RCR, for short), a generalization of the Color Refinement method from graphs to arbitrary relational structures, whose distinguishing power admits the equivalent combinatorial and logical characterizations as Color Refinement has on graphs: we show that RCR distinguishes precisely those structures that differ in the number of homomorphisms from an acyclic connected relational structure. Further, we show that RCR distinguishes precisely those structures that are distinguished by a sentence of the guarded fragment of first-order logic with counting quantifiers. Additionally, we show that for every fixed finite relational signature, RCR can be implemented to run on structures of that signature in time O(N⋅log N), where N denotes the number of tuples present in the structure.

Mutational Signature Refitting on Sparse Pan-Cancer Data

Authors: Gal Gilad, Teresa M. Przytycka, and Roded Sharan

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

Abstract
Mutational processes shape cancer genomes, leaving characteristic marks that are termed signatures. The level of activity of each such process, or its signature exposure, provides important information on the disease, improving patient stratification and the prediction of drug response. Thus, there is growing interest in developing refitting methods that decipher those exposures. Previous work in this domain was unsupervised in nature, employing algebraic decomposition and probabilistic inference methods. Here we provide a supervised approach to the problem of signature refitting and show its superiority over current methods. Our method, SuRe, leverages a neural network model to capture correlations between signature exposures in real data. We show that SuRe outperforms previous methods on sparse mutation data from tumor type specific data sets, as well as pan-cancer data sets, with an increasing advantage as the data become sparser. We further demonstrate its utility in clinical settings.
