Engineering Algorithms for Dynamic Greedy Set Cover

Authors: Amitai Uzrad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 371, 24th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2026)


Abstract
In the dynamic set cover problem, the input is a dynamic universe of elements and a fixed collection of sets. As elements are inserted or deleted, the goal is to efficiently maintain an approximate minimum set cover. While the past decade has seen significant theoretical breakthroughs for this problem, a notable gap remains between theoretical design and practical performance, as no comprehensive experimental study currently exists to validate these results. In this paper, we bridge this gap by implementing and evaluating four greedy-based dynamic algorithms across a diverse range of real-world instances. We derive our implementations from state-of-the-art frameworks - such as [GKKP(STOC'17); SU(STOC'23); SUZ(FOCS'24)] - which we simplify by identifying and modifying intricate subroutines that optimize asymptotic bounds but hinder practical performance. We evaluate these algorithms based on solution quality (set cover size) and efficiency, which comprises update time - the time required to update the solution following each insertion/deletion - and recourse - the number of changes made to the solution per update. Each algorithm uses a parameter β to balance quality against efficiency; we investigate the influence of this tradeoff parameter on each algorithm and then perform a comparative analysis to evaluate the algorithms against each other. Our results provide the first practical insights into which algorithmic strategies provide the most value in realistic scenarios.

Longest Common Extension of a Dynamic String in Parallel Constant Time

Authors: Daniel Alexander Albert

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 369, 37th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2026)


Abstract
A longest common extension (LCE) query on a string computes the length of the longest common suffix or prefix at two given positions. A dynamic LCE algorithm maintains a data structure that allows efficient LCE queries on a string that can change via character insertions and deletions. A dynamic parallel constant-time algorithm is presented that can maintain LCE queries on a common CRCW PRAM with 𝒪(n^ε) work, for any ε > 0. The algorithm maintains a string synchronizing sets hierarchy, which it uses to answer substring equality queries, which it in turn uses to answer LCE queries. To achieve constant runtime, the algorithm allows parts of its information to become outdated by up to log n log^* n updates. It answers queries by combining this slightly outdated information with a list of the recent changes. Two applications of this dynamic LCE algorithm are shown. Firstly, a dynamic parallel constant-time algorithm can maintain membership in a Dyck language D_k, k > 0 with 𝒪(n^ε) work for any ε > 0. Secondly, a dynamic parallel constant-time algorithm can maintain squares with 𝒪(n^ε) work for any ε > 0.

Locality Sensitive Hashing in Hyperbolic Space

Authors: Chengyuan Deng, Jie Gao, Kevin Lu, Feng Luo, and Cheng Xin

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


Abstract
For a metric space (X, d), a family ℋ of locality sensitive hash functions is called (r, cr, p₁, p₂) sensitive if a randomly chosen function h ∈ ℋ has probability at least p₁ (at most p₂) to map any a, b ∈ X in the same hash bucket if d(a, b) ≤ r (or d(a, b) ≥ cr). Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is one of the most popular techniques for approximate nearest-neighbor search in high-dimensional spaces, and has been studied extensively for Hamming, Euclidean, and spherical geometries. An (r, cr, p₁, p₂)-sensitive hash function enables approximate nearest neighbor search (i.e., returning a point within distance cr from a query q if there exists a point within distance r from q) with space O(n^{1+ρ}) and query time O(n^ρ) where ρ = (log 1/p₁)/(log 1/p₂). But LSH for hyperbolic spaces ℍ^d remains largely unexplored. In this work, we present the first LSH construction native to hyperbolic space. For the hyperbolic plane (d = 2), we show a construction achieving ρ ≤ 1/c, based on the hyperplane rounding scheme. For general hyperbolic spaces (d ≥ 3), we use dimension reduction from ℍ^d to ℍ² and the 2D hyperbolic LSH to get ρ ≤ 1.59/c. On the lower bound side, we show that the lower bound on ρ of Euclidean LSH extends to the hyperbolic setting via local isometry, therefore giving ρ ≥ 1/c².

Native Provenance Computation for Federated and Non-Federated SPARQL Queries

Authors: Zubaria Asma, Daniel Hernández, Luis Galárraga, Giorgos Flouris, Irini Fundulaki, and Katja Hose

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


Abstract
The popularity of knowledge graphs (KGs) owes credit to their flexible data model, which is suitable for data integration from multiple sources. Several KG-based applications, such as trust assessment, view maintenance, or data valuation on dynamic data, rely on the ability to compute provenance explanations for query results. This need becomes more urgent in federated query processing systems, which allow the online consumption of heterogeneous and decentralized Web data. However, the problem of computing and interacting with provenance has received little attention, especially in the federated setting. On those grounds, this paper introduces the NPCS (Native Provenance Computation for SPARQL) approach, and its federated variant Fed-NPCS, that compute provenance for SPARQL query results. Both approaches build upon spm-semirings to annotate the results of monotonic and non-monotonic SPARQL queries with their provenance. Due to their reliance on query rewriting techniques, the approaches are directly applicable to already deployed SPARQL engines and federations using different reification schemes, including RDF-star. Our experimental evaluation shows that our novel query rewriting approach brings significant run-time improvements w.r.t. the state-of-the-art across both centralized and federated settings. In centralized settings, our tests on two popular SPARQL engines (GraphDB and Stardog) reveal substantial runtime gains over existing query rewriting solutions, enabling scalability to RDF graphs with billions of triples. In federated settings, our experiments on the FedShop benchmark with GraphDB show the viability of Fed-NPCS for federations with up to 200 sources.

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.

Simulate Before Sending: Rethinking Transport in Datacenter Networks

Authors: Dan Straussman, Isaac Keslassy, Alexander Shpiner, and Liran Liss

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 139, 1st New Ideas in Networked Systems (NINeS 2026)


Abstract
Existing transport protocols in commodity datacenter networks struggle to provide low collective completion times (CCTs) to AI training collectives, as packet losses and retransmissions significantly degrade performance. We propose dcSim, an efficient transport that achieves low CCTs and practically lossless performance with commodity switches. In dcSim, each packet first employs a small simulation probe to traverse the network and explore congestion along a candidate path. Only packets whose simulation probes succeed are then transmitted, expecting to succeed as well. Evaluations confirm that dcSim achieves faster CCTs than existing schemes, with small queues and virtually zero packet loss. Finally, dcSim also excels in adverse conditions, including oversubscribed topologies.

Random Unitaries in Constant (Quantum) Time

Authors: Ben Foxman, Natalie Parham, Francisca Vasconcelos, and Henry Yuen

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


Abstract
Random unitaries are a central object of study in quantum information, with applications to quantum computation, quantum many-body physics, and quantum cryptography. Recent work has constructed unitary designs and pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) using Θ(log log n)-depth unitary circuits with two-qubit gates. In this work, we show that unitary designs and PRUs can be efficiently constructed in several well-studied models of constant-time quantum computation (i.e., the time complexity on the quantum computer is independent of the system size). These models are constant-depth circuits augmented with certain nonlocal operations, such as (a) many-qubit TOFFOLI gates, (b) many-qubit FANOUT gates, or (c) mid-circuit measurements with classical feedforward control. Recent advances in quantum computing hardware suggest experimental feasibility of these models in the near future. Our results demonstrate that unitary designs and PRUs can be constructed in much weaker circuit models than previously thought. Furthermore, our construction of PRUs in constant-depth with many-qubit TOFFOLI gates shows that, under cryptographic assumptions, there is no polynomial-time learning algorithm for the circuit class QAC⁰. Finally, our results suggest a new approach towards proving that PARITY is not computable in QAC⁰, a long-standing question in quantum complexity theory.

Mining Inter-Document Argument Structures in Scientific Papers for an Argument Web

Authors: Florian Ruosch, Cristina Sarasua, and Abraham Bernstein

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


Abstract
In Argument Mining, predicting argumentative relations between texts (or spans) remains one of the most challenging aspects, even more so in the cross-document setting. This paper makes three key contributions to advance research in this domain. We first extend an existing dataset, the Sci-Arg corpus, by annotating it with explicit inter-document argumentative relations, thereby allowing arguments to be distributed over several documents forming an Argument Web; these new annotations are published using Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL). Second, we explore and evaluate three automated approaches for predicting these inter-document argumentative relations, establishing critical baselines on the new dataset. We find that a simple classifier based on discourse indicators with access to context outperforms neural methods. Third, we conduct a comparative analysis of these approaches for both intra- and inter-document settings, identifying statistically significant differences in results that indicate the necessity of distinguishing between these two scenarios. Our findings highlight significant challenges in this complex domain and open crucial avenues for future research on the Argument Web of Science, particularly for those interested in leveraging Semantic Web technologies and knowledge graphs to understand scholarly discourse. With this, we provide the first stepping stones in the form of a benchmark dataset, three baseline methods, and an initial analysis for a systematic exploration of this field relevant to the Web of Data and Science.

Optimal Concolic Dynamic Partial Order Reduction

Authors: Mohammad Hossein Khoshechin Jorshari, Michalis Kokologiannakis, Rupak Majumdar, and Srinidhi Nagendra

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)


Abstract
Stateless model checking (SMC) software implementations requires exploring both concurrency- and data nondeterminism. Unfortunately, most SMC algorithms focus on efficient exploration of concurrency nondeterminism, thereby neglecting an important source of bugs. We present ConDpor, an SMC algorithm for unmodified Java programs that combines optimal dynamic partial order reduction (DPOR) for concurrency nondeterminism, with concolic execution for data nondeterminism. ConDpor is sound, complete, optimal, and parametric w.r.t. the memory consistency model. Our experiments confirm that ConDpor is exponentially faster than DPOR with small-domain enumeration. Overall, ConDpor opens the door for efficient exploration of concurrent programs with data nondeterminism.

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.

Hardware Compute Partitioning on NVIDIA GPUs for Composable Systems

Authors: Joshua Bakita and James H. Anderson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)


Abstract
As GPU-using tasks become more common in embedded, safety-critical systems, efficiency demands necessitate sharing a single GPU among multiple tasks. Unfortunately, existing ways to schedule multiple tasks onto a GPU often either result in a loss of ability to meet deadlines, or a loss of efficiency. In this work, we develop a system-level spatial compute partitioning mechanism for NVIDIA GPUs and demonstrate that it can be used to execute tasks efficiently without compromising timing predictability. Our tool, called nvtaskset, supports composable systems by not requiring task, driver, or hardware modifications. In our evaluation, we demonstrate sub-1-μs overheads, stronger partition enforcement, and finer-granularity partitioning when using our mechanism instead of NVIDIA’s Multi-Process Service (MPS) or Multi-instance GPU (MiG) features.

Fitting Tree Metrics and Ultrametrics in Data Streams

Authors: Amir Carmel, Debarati Das, Evangelos Kipouridis, and Evangelos Pipis

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


Abstract
Fitting distances to tree metrics and ultrametrics are two widely used methods in hierarchical clustering, primarily explored within the context of numerical taxonomy. Formally, given a positive distance function D: binom(V,2) → ℝ_{>0}, the goal is to find a tree (or an ultrametric) T including all elements of set V, such that the difference between the distances among vertices in T and those specified by D is minimized. Numerical taxonomy was first introduced by Sneath and Sokal [Nature 1962], and since then it has been studied extensively in both biology and computer science. In this paper, we initiate the study of ultrametric and tree metric fitting problems in the semi-streaming model, where the distances between pairs of elements from V (with |V| = n), defined by the function D, can arrive in an arbitrary order. We study these problems under various distance norms; namely the 𝓁₀ objective, which aims to minimize the number of modified entries in D to fit a tree-metric or an ultrametric; the 𝓁₁ objective, which seeks to minimize the total sum of distance errors across all pairs of points in V; and the 𝓁_∞ objective, which focuses on minimizing the maximum error incurred by any entries in D. - Our first result addresses the 𝓁₀ objective. We provide a single-pass polynomial-time Õ(n)-space O(1) approximation algorithm for ultrametrics and prove that no single-pass exact algorithm exists, even with exponential time. - Next, we show that the algorithm for 𝓁₀ implies an O(Δ/δ) approximation for the 𝓁₁ objective, where Δ is the maximum, and δ is the minimum absolute difference between distances in the input. This bound matches the best-known approximation for the RAM model using a combinatorial algorithm when Δ/δ = O(n). - For the 𝓁_∞ objective, we provide a complete characterization of the ultrametric fitting problem. First, we present a single-pass polynomial-time Õ(n)-space 2-approximation algorithm and show that no better than 2-approximation is possible, even with exponential time. Furthermore, we show that with an additional pass, it is possible to achieve a polynomial-time exact algorithm for ultrametrics. - Finally, we extend all these results to tree metrics by using only one additional pass through the stream and without asymptotically increasing the approximation factor.

Chain of Grounded Objectives: Concise Goal-Oriented Prompting for Code Generation

Authors: Sangyeop Yeo, Seung-Won Hwang, and Yu-Seung Ma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)


Abstract
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation has gained significant attention in recent years. Existing methods often aim to improve the quality of generated code by incorporating additional contextual information or guidance into input prompts. Many of these approaches adopt process-oriented reasoning strategies, mimicking human-like step-by-step thinking; however, they may not always align with the structured nature of programming languages. This paper introduces Chain of Grounded Objectives (CGO), a concise goal-oriented prompting approach that embeds functional objectives into prompts to enhance code generation. By focusing on precisely defined objectives rather than explicit procedural steps, CGO aligns more naturally with programming tasks while retaining flexibility. Empirical evaluations on HumanEval, MBPP, their extended versions, and LiveCodeBench show that CGO achieves accuracy comparable to or better than existing methods while using fewer tokens, making it a more efficient approach to LLM-based code generation.

Wastrumentation: Portable WebAssembly Dynamic Analysis with Support for Intercession

Authors: Aäron Munsters, Angel Luis Scull Pupo, and Elisa Gonzalez Boix

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)


Abstract
Dynamic program analyses help in understanding a program’s runtime behavior and detect issues related to security, program comprehension, or profiling. Instrumentation platforms aid analysis developers by offering a high-level API to write the analysis, and inserting the analysis into the target program. However, current instrumentation platforms for WebAssembly (Wasm) restrict analysis portability because they require concrete runtime environments. Moreover, their analysis API only allows the development of analyses that observe the target program but cannot modify it. As a result, many popular dynamic analyses present for other languages, such as runtime hardening, virtual patching or runtime optimization, cannot currently be implemented for Wasm atop a dynamic analysis platform. Instead, they need to be built manually, which requires knowledge of low-level details of the Wasm’s semantics and instruction set, and how to safely manipulate it. This paper introduces Wastrumentation, the first dynamic analysis platform for WebAssembly that supports intercession. Our solution, based on source code instrumentation, weaves the analysis code directly into the target program code. Inlining the analysis into the target’s source code avoids dependencies on the runtime environment, making analyses portable across Wasm VMs. Moreover, it enables the implementation of analyses in any Wasm-compatible language. We evaluate our solution in two ways. First, we compare it against a state-of-the-art source code instrumentation platform using the WasmR3 benchmarks. The results show improved memory consumption and competitive performance overhead. Second, we develop an extensive portfolio of dynamic analyses, including novel analyses previously unattainable with source code instrumentation platforms, such as memoization, safe heap access, and the removal of NaN non-determinism.

Noisy (Binary) Searching: Simple, Fast and Correct

Authors: Dariusz Dereniowski, Aleksander Łukasiewicz, and Przemysław Uznański

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)


Abstract
This work considers the problem of the noisy binary search in a sorted array. The noise is modeled by a parameter p that dictates that a comparison can be incorrect with probability p, independently of other queries. We state two types of upper bounds on the number of queries: the worst-case and expected query complexity scenarios. The bounds improve the ones known to date, i.e., our algorithms require fewer queries. Additionally, they have simpler statements, and work for the full range of parameters. All query complexities for the expected query scenarios are tight up to lower order terms. For the problem where the target prior is uniform over all possible inputs, we provide an algorithm with expected complexity upperbounded by (log₂ n + log₂ δ^{-1} + 3)/I(p), where n is the domain size, 0 ≤ p < 1/2 is the noise ratio, and δ > 0 is the failure probability, and I(p) is the information gain function. As a side-effect, we close some correctness issues regarding previous work. Also, en route, we obtain new and improved query complexities for the search generalized to arbitrary graphs. This paper continues and improves the lines of research of Burnashev-Zigangirov [Prob. Per. Informatsii, 1974], Ben-Or and Hassidim [FOCS 2008], Gu and Xu [STOC 2023], and Emamjomeh-Zadeh et al.
