Interval Selection in Sliding Windows

Authors: Cezar-Mihail Alexandru and Christian Konrad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
We initiate the study of the Interval Selection problem in the (streaming) sliding window model of computation. In this problem, an algorithm receives a potentially infinite stream of intervals on the line, and the objective is to maintain at every moment an approximation to a largest possible subset of disjoint intervals among the L most recent intervals, for some integer L. We give the following results: 1) In the unit-length intervals case, we give a 2-approximation sliding window algorithm with space Õ(|OPT|), and we show that any sliding window algorithm that computes a (2-ε)-approximation requires space Ω(L), for any ε > 0. 2) In the arbitrary-length case, we give a (11/3+ε)-approximation sliding window algorithm with space Õ(|OPT|), for any constant ε > 0, which constitutes our main result. We also show that space Ω(L) is needed for algorithms that compute a (2.5-ε)-approximation, for any ε > 0. Our main technical contribution is an improvement over the smooth histogram technique, which consists of running independent copies of a traditional streaming algorithm with different start times. By employing the one-pass 2-approximation streaming algorithm by Cabello and Pérez-Lantero [Theor. Comput. Sci. '17] for Interval Selection on arbitrary-length intervals as the underlying algorithm, the smooth histogram technique immediately yields a (4+ε)-approximation in this setting. Our improvement is obtained by forwarding the structure of the intervals identified in a run to the subsequent run, which constrains the shape of an optimal solution and allows us to target optimal intervals differently.

Random-Order Online Independent Set of Intervals and Hyperrectangles

Authors: Mohit Garg, Debajyoti Kar, and Arindam Khan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
In the Maximum Independent Set of Hyperrectangles problem, we are given a set of n (possibly overlapping) d-dimensional axis-aligned hyperrectangles, and the goal is to find a subset of non-overlapping hyperrectangles of maximum cardinality. For d = 1, this corresponds to the classical Interval Scheduling problem, where a simple greedy algorithm returns an optimal solution. In the offline setting, for d-dimensional hyperrectangles, polynomial time (log n)^{O(d)}-approximation algorithms are known [Chalermsook and Chuzhoy, 2009]. However, the problem becomes notably challenging in the online setting, where the input objects (hyperrectangles) appear one by one in an adversarial order, and on the arrival of an object, the algorithm needs to make an immediate and irrevocable decision whether or not to select the object while maintaining the feasibility. Even for interval scheduling, an Ω(n) lower bound is known on the competitive ratio. To circumvent these negative results, in this work, we study the online maximum independent set of axis-aligned hyperrectangles in the random-order arrival model, where the adversary specifies the set of input objects which then arrive in a uniformly random order. Starting from the prototypical secretary problem, the random-order model has received significant attention to study algorithms beyond the worst-case competitive analysis (see the survey by Gupta and Singla [Anupam Gupta and Sahil Singla, 2020]). Surprisingly, we show that the problem in the random-order model almost matches the best-known offline approximation guarantees, up to polylogarithmic factors. In particular, we give a simple (log n)^{O(d)}-competitive algorithm for d-dimensional hyperrectangles in this model, which runs in O_d̃(n) time. Our approach also yields (log n)^{O(d)}-competitive algorithms in the random-order model for more general objects such as d-dimensional fat objects and ellipsoids. Furthermore, all our competitiveness guarantees hold with high probability, and not just in expectation.

Thinking Fast and Slow: Data-Driven Adaptive DeFi Borrow-Lending Protocol

Authors: Mahsa Bastankhah, Viraj Nadkarni, Chi Jin, Sanjeev Kulkarni, and Pramod Viswanath

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 316, 6th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2024)

Abstract
Decentralized finance (DeFi) borrowing and lending platforms are crucial to the decentralized economy, involving two main participants: lenders who provide assets for interest and borrowers who offer collateral exceeding their debt and pay interest. Collateral volatility necessitates over-collateralization to protect lenders and ensure competitive returns. Traditional DeFi platforms use a fixed interest rate curve based on the utilization rate (the fraction of available assets borrowed) and determine over-collateralization offline through simulations to manage risk. This method doesn't adapt well to dynamic market changes, such as price fluctuations and evolving user needs, often resulting in losses for lenders or borrowers. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive, data-driven protocol for DeFi borrowing and lending. Our approach includes a high-frequency controller that dynamically adjusts interest rates to maintain market stability and competitiveness with external markets. Unlike traditional protocols, which rely on user reactions and often adjust slowly, our controller uses a learning-based algorithm to quickly find optimal interest rates, reducing the opportunity cost for users during periods of misalignment with external rates. Additionally, we use a low-frequency planner that analyzes user behavior to set an optimal over-collateralization ratio, balancing risk reduction with profit maximization over the long term. This dual approach is essential for adaptive markets: the short-term component maintains market stability, preventing exploitation, while the long-term planner optimizes market parameters to enhance profitability and reduce risks. We provide theoretical guarantees on the convergence rates and adversarial robustness of the short-term component and the long-term effectiveness of our protocol. Empirical validation confirms our protocol’s theoretical benefits.

A Sound Type System for Secure Currency Flow

Authors: Luca Aceto, Daniele Gorla, and Stian Lybech

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
In this paper we focus on TinySol, a minimal calculus for Solidity smart contracts, introduced by Bartoletti et al. We start by rephrasing its syntax (to emphasise its object-oriented flavour) and give a new big-step operational semantics. We then use it to define two security properties, namely call integrity and noninterference. These two properties have some similarities in their definition, in that they both require that some part of a program is not influenced by the other part. However, we show that the two properties are actually incomparable. Nevertheless, we provide a type system for noninterference and show that well-typed programs satisfy call integrity as well; hence, programs that are accepted by our type system satisfy both properties. We finally discuss the practical usability of the type system and its limitations by means of some simple examples.

Regrading Policies for Flexible Information Flow Control in Session-Typed Concurrency

Authors: Farzaneh Derakhshan, Stephanie Balzer, and Yue Yao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Noninterference guarantees that an attacker cannot infer secrets by interacting with a program. Information flow control (IFC) type systems assert noninterference by tracking the level of information learned (pc) and disallowing communication to entities of lesser or unrelated level than the pc. Control flow constructs such as loops are at odds with this pattern because they necessitate downgrading the pc upon recursion to be practical. In a concurrent setting, however, downgrading is not generally safe. This paper utilizes session types to track the flow of information and contributes an IFC type system for message-passing concurrent processes that allows downgrading the pc upon recursion. To make downgrading safe, the paper introduces regrading policies. Regrading policies are expressed in terms of integrity labels, which are also key to safe composition of entities with different regrading policies. The paper develops the type system and proves progress-sensitive noninterference for well-typed processes, ruling out timing attacks that exploit the relative order of messages. The type system has been implemented in a type checker, which supports security-polymorphic processes.

Capturing the Shape of a Point Set with a Line Segment

Authors: Nathan van Beusekom, Marc van Kreveld, Max van Mulken, Marcel Roeloffzen, Bettina Speckmann, and Jules Wulms

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 306, 49th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2024)

Abstract
Detecting location-correlated groups in point sets is an important task in a wide variety of applications areas. In addition to merely detecting such groups, the group’s shape carries meaning as well. In this paper, we represent a group’s shape using a simple geometric object, a line segment. Specifically, given a radius r, we say a line segment is representative of a point set P of n points if it is within distance r of each point p ∈ P. We aim to find the shortest such line segment. This problem is equivalent to stabbing a set of circles of radius r using the shortest line segment. We describe an algorithm to find the shortest representative segment in O(n log h + h log³h) time, where h is the size of the convex hull of P. Additionally, we show how to maintain a stable approximation of the shortest representative segment when the points in P move.

Optimizing a Non-Deterministic Abstract Machine with Environments

Authors: Małgorzata Biernacka, Dariusz Biernacki, Sergueï Lenglet, and Alan Schmitt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
Non-deterministic abstract machine (NDAM) is a recent implementation model for programming languages where one must choose among several redexes at each reduction step, like process calculi. These machines can be derived from a zipper semantics, a mix between structural operational semantics and context-based reduction semantics. Such a machine has been generated also for the λ-calculus without a fixed reduction strategy, i.e., with the full non-deterministic β-reduction. In that machine, substitution is an external operation that replaces all the occurrences of a variable at once. Implementing substitution with environments is more low-level and more efficient as variables are replaced only when needed. In this paper, we define a NDAM with environments for the λ-calculus without a fixed reduction strategy. We also introduce other optimizations, including a form of refocusing, and we show that we can restrict our optimized NDAM to recover some of the usual λ-calculus machines, e.g., the Krivine Abstract Machine. Most of the improvements we propose in this work could be applied to other NDAMs as well.

Meaningfulness and Genericity in a Subsuming Framework (Invited Talk)

Authors: Delia Kesner, Victor Arrial, and Giulio Guerrieri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
This paper studies the notion of meaningfulness for a unifying framework called dBang-calculus, which subsumes both call-by-name (dCBN) and call-by-value (dCBV). We first define meaningfulness in dBang and then characterize it by means of typability and inhabitation in an associated non-idempotent intersection type system previously appearing in the literature. We validate the proposed notion of meaningfulness by showing two properties: (1) consistency of the smallest theory, called ℋ, equating all meaningless terms, and (2) genericity, stating that meaningless subterms have no bearing on the significance of meaningful terms. The theory ℋ is also shown to have a unique consistent and maximal extension ℋ*, which coincides with a well-known notion of observational equivalence. Last but not least, we show that the notions of meaningfulness and genericity in the literature for dCBN and dCBV are subsumed by the corresponding ones proposed here for the dBang-calculus.

Decidability of Graph Neural Networks via Logical Characterizations

Authors: Michael Benedikt, Chia-Hsuan Lu, Boris Motik, and Tony Tan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)

Abstract
We present results concerning the expressiveness and decidability of a popular graph learning formalism, graph neural networks (GNNs), exploiting connections with logic. We use a family of recently-discovered decidable logics involving "Presburger quantifiers". We show how to use these logics to measure the expressiveness of classes of GNNs, in some cases getting exact correspondences between the expressiveness of logics and GNNs. We also employ the logics, and the techniques used to analyze them, to obtain decision procedures for verification problems over GNNs. We complement this with undecidability results for static analysis problems involving the logics, as well as for GNN verification problems.

Current and Future Challenges in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 22282)

Authors: James P. Delgrande, Birte Glimm, Thomas Meyer, Miroslaw Truszczynski, and Frank Wolter

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 10, Issue 1 (2024)

Abstract
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning is a central, longstanding, and active area of Artificial Intelligence. Over the years it has evolved significantly; more recently it has been challenged and complemented by research in areas such as machine learning and reasoning under uncertainty. In July 2022,sser a Dagstuhl Perspectives workshop was held on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. The goal of the workshop was to describe the state of the art in the field, including its relation with other areas, its shortcomings and strengths, together with recommendations for future progress. We developed this manifesto based on the presentations, panels, working groups, and discussions that took place at the Dagstuhl Workshop.

On the Expressiveness of LARA: A Unified Language for Linear and Relational Algebra

Authors: Pablo Barceló, Nelson Higuera, Jorge Pérez, and Bernardo Subercaseaux

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 155, 23rd International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2020)

Abstract
We study the expressive power of the Lara language - a recently proposed unified model for expressing relational and linear algebra operations - both in terms of traditional database query languages and some analytic tasks often performed in machine learning pipelines. We start by showing Lara to be expressive complete with respect to first-order logic with aggregation. Since Lara is parameterized by a set of user-defined functions which allow to transform values in tables, the exact expressive power of the language depends on how these functions are defined. We distinguish two main cases depending on the level of genericity queries are enforced to satisfy. Under strong genericity assumptions the language cannot express matrix convolution, a very important operation in current machine learning operations. This language is also local, and thus cannot express operations such as matrix inverse that exhibit a recursive behavior. For expressing convolution, one can relax the genericity requirement by adding an underlying linear order on the domain. This, however, destroys locality and turns the expressive power of the language much more difficult to understand. In particular, although under complexity assumptions the resulting language can still not express matrix inverse, a proof of this fact without such assumptions seems challenging to obtain.

On Guillotine Cutting Sequences

Authors: Fidaa Abed, Parinya Chalermsook, José Correa, Andreas Karrenbauer, Pablo Pérez-Lantero, José A. Soto, and Andreas Wiese

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 40, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2015)

Abstract
Imagine a wooden plate with a set of non-overlapping geometric objects painted on it. How many of them can a carpenter cut out using a panel saw making guillotine cuts, i.e., only moving forward through the material along a straight line until it is split into two pieces? Already fifteen years ago, Pach and Tardos investigated whether one can always cut out a constant fraction if all objects are axis-parallel rectangles. However, even for the case of axis-parallel squares this question is still open. In this paper, we answer the latter affirmatively. Our result is constructive and holds even in a more general setting where the squares have weights and the goal is to save as much weight as possible. We further show that when solving the more general question for rectangles affirmatively with only axis-parallel cuts, this would yield a combinatorial O(1)-approximation algorithm for the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles problem, and would thus solve a long-standing open problem. In practical applications, like the mentioned carpentry and many other settings, we can usually place the items freely that we want to cut out, which gives rise to the two-dimensional guillotine knapsack problem: Given a collection of axis-parallel rectangles without presumed coordinates, our goal is to place as many of them as possible in a square-shaped knapsack respecting the constraint that the placed objects can be separated by a sequence of guillotine cuts. Our main result for this problem is a quasi-PTAS, assuming the input data to be quasi-polynomially bounded integers. This factor matches the best known (quasi-polynomial time) result for (non-guillotine) two-dimensional knapsack.
