Faster Semi-Streaming Matchings via Alternating Trees

Authors: Slobodan Mitrović, Anish Mukherjee, Piotr Sankowski, and Wen-Horng Sheu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)


Abstract
We design a deterministic algorithm for the (1+ε)-approximate maximum matching problem. Our primary result demonstrates that this problem can be solved in O(ε^{-6}) semi-streaming passes, improving upon the O(ε^{-19}) pass-complexity algorithm by [Fischer, Mitrović, and Uitto, STOC'22]. This contributes substantially toward resolving Open question 2 from [Assadi, SOSA'24]. Leveraging the framework introduced in [FMU'22], our algorithm achieves an analogous round complexity speed-up for computing a (1+ε)-approximate maximum matching in both the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) and CONGEST models. The data structures maintained by our algorithm are formulated using blossom notation and represented through alternating trees. This approach enables a simplified correctness analysis by treating specific components as if operating on bipartite graphs, effectively circumventing certain technical intricacies present in prior work.

Stable Matching with Interviews

Authors: Itai Ashlagi, Jiale Chen, Mohammad Roghani, and Amin Saberi

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


Abstract
In several two-sided markets, including labor and dating, agents typically have limited information about their preferences prior to mutual interactions. This issue can result in matching frictions, as arising in the labor market for medical residencies, where high application rates are followed by a large number of interviews. Yet, the extensive literature on two-sided matching primarily focuses on models where agents know their preferences, leaving the interactions necessary for preference discovery largely overlooked. This paper studies this problem using an algorithmic approach, extending Gale-Shapley’s deferred acceptance to this context. Two algorithms are proposed. The first is an adaptive algorithm that expands upon Gale-Shapley’s deferred acceptance by incorporating interviews between applicants and positions. Similar to deferred acceptance, one side sequentially proposes to the other. However, the order of proposals is carefully chosen to ensure an interim stable matching is found. Furthermore, with high probability, the number of interviews conducted by each applicant or position is limited to O(log² n). In many seasonal markets, interactions occur more simultaneously, consisting of an initial interview phase followed by a clearing stage. We present a non-adaptive algorithm for generating a single stage set of in tiered random markets. The algorithm finds an interim stable matching in such markets while assigning no more than O(log³ n) interviews to each applicant or position.

Formulations and Constructions of Remote State Preparation with Verifiability, with Applications

Authors: Jiayu Zhang

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


Abstract
Remote state preparation with verifiability (RSPV) is an important quantum cryptographic primitive [Alexandru Gheorghiu and Thomas Vidick, 2019; Jiayu Zhang, 2022]. In this primitive, a client would like to prepare a quantum state (sampled or chosen from a state family) on the server side, such that ideally the client knows its full description, while the server holds and only holds the state itself. In this work we make several contributions on its formulations, constructions and applications. In more detail: - We first work on the definitions and abstract properties of the RSPV problem. We select and compare different variants of definitions [Bennett et al., 2001; Alexandru Gheorghiu and Thomas Vidick, 2019; Jiayu Zhang, 2022; Alexandru Gheorghiu et al., 2022], and study their basic properties (like composability and amplification). - We also study a closely related question of how to certify the server’s operations (instead of solely the states). We introduce a new notion named remote operator application with verifiability (ROAV). We compare this notion with related existing definitions [Summers and Werner, 1987; Dominic Mayers and Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, 2004; Zhengfeng Ji et al., 2021; Tony Metger and Thomas Vidick, 2021; Anand Natarajan and Tina Zhang, 2023], study its abstract properties and leave its concrete constructions for further works. - Building on the abstract properties and existing results [Zvika Brakerski et al., 2023], we construct a series of new RSPV protocols. Our constructions not only simplify existing results [Alexandru Gheorghiu and Thomas Vidick, 2019] but also cover new state families, for example, states in the form of 1/√2 (|0⟩ + |x_0⟩ + |1⟩ |x_1⟩). All these constructions rely only on the existence of weak NTCF [Zvika Brakerski et al., 2020; Navid Alamati et al., 2022], without additional requirements like the adaptive hardcore bit property [Zvika Brakerski et al., 2018; Navid Alamati et al., 2022]. - As a further application, we show that the classical verification of quantum computations (CVQC) problem [Dorit Aharonov et al., 2010; Urmila Mahadev, 2018] could be constructed from assumptions on group actions [Navid Alamati et al., 2020]. This is achieved by combining our results on RSPV with group-action-based instantiation of weak NTCF [Navid Alamati et al., 2022], and then with the quantum-gadget-assisted quantum verification protocol [Ferracin et al., 2018].

Fair Grading Algorithms for Randomized Exams

Authors: Jiale Chen, Jason Hartline, and Onno Zoeter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 256, 4th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2023)


Abstract
This paper studies grading algorithms for randomized exams. In a randomized exam, each student is asked a small number of random questions from a large question bank. The predominant grading rule is simple averaging, i.e., calculating grades by averaging scores on the questions each student is asked, which is fair ex-ante, over the randomized questions, but not fair ex-post, on the realized questions. The fair grading problem is to estimate the average grade of each student on the full question bank. The maximum-likelihood estimator for the Bradley-Terry-Luce model on the bipartite student-question graph is shown to be consistent with high probability when the number of questions asked to each student is at least the cubed-logarithm of the number of students. In an empirical study on exam data and in simulations, our algorithm based on the maximum-likelihood estimator significantly outperforms simple averaging in prediction accuracy and ex-post fairness even with a small class and exam size.
