Finer-Grained Hardness of Kernel Density Estimation

Authors: Josh Alman and Yunfeng Guan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 300, 39th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2024)

Abstract
In batch Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) for a kernel function f : ℝ^m × ℝ^m → ℝ, we are given as input 2n points x^{(1)}, …, x^{(n)}, y^{(1)}, …, y^{(n)} ∈ ℝ^m in dimension m, as well as a vector v ∈ ℝⁿ. These inputs implicitly define the n × n kernel matrix K given by K[i,j] = f(x^{(i)}, y^{(j)}). The goal is to compute a vector v ∈ ℝⁿ which approximates K w, i.e., with || Kw - v||_∞ < ε ||w||₁. For illustrative purposes, consider the Gaussian kernel f(x,y) : = e^{-||x-y||₂²}. The classic approach to this problem is the famous Fast Multipole Method (FMM), which runs in time n ⋅ O(log^m(ε^{-1})) and is particularly effective in low dimensions because of its exponential dependence on m. Recently, as the higher-dimensional case m ≥ Ω(log n) has seen more applications in machine learning and statistics, new algorithms have focused on this setting: an algorithm using discrepancy theory, which runs in time O(n / ε), and an algorithm based on the polynomial method, which achieves inverse polynomial accuracy in almost linear time when the input points have bounded square diameter B < o(log n). A recent line of work has proved fine-grained lower bounds, with the goal of showing that the "curse of dimensionality" arising in FMM is necessary assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH). Backurs et al. [NeurIPS 2017] first showed the hardness of a variety of Empirical Risk Minimization problems including KDE for Gaussian-like kernels in the case with high dimension m = Ω(log n) and large scale B = Ω(log n). Alman et al. [FOCS 2020] later developed new reductions in roughly this same parameter regime, leading to lower bounds for more general kernels, but only for very small error ε < 2^{- log^{Ω(1)} (n)}. In this paper, we refine the approach of Alman et al. to show new lower bounds in all parameter regimes, closing gaps between the known algorithms and lower bounds. For example: - In the setting where m = Clog n and B = o(log n), we prove Gaussian KDE requires n^{2-o(1)} time to achieve additive error ε < Ω(m/B)^{-m}, matching the performance of the polynomial method up to low-order terms. - In the low dimensional setting m = o(log n), we show that Gaussian KDE requires n^{2-o(1)} time to achieve ε such that log log (ε^{-1}) > ̃ Ω ((log n)/m), matching the error bound achievable by FMM up to low-order terms. To our knowledge, no nontrivial lower bound was previously known in this regime. Our approach also generalizes to any parameter regime and any kernel. For example, we achieve similar fine-grained hardness results for any kernel with slowly-decaying Taylor coefficients such as the Cauchy kernel. Our new lower bounds make use of an intricate analysis of the "counting matrix", a special case of the kernel matrix focused on carefully-chosen evaluation points. As a key technical lemma, we give a novel approach to bounding the entries of its inverse by using Schur polynomials from algebraic combinatorics.

Top- k Frequent Patterns in Streams and Parameterized-Space LZ Compression

Authors: Patrick Dinklage, Johnnes Fischer, and Nicola Prezza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 301, 22nd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2024)

Abstract
We present novel online approximations of the Lempel-Ziv 77 (LZ77) and Lempel-Ziv 78 (LZ78) compression schemes [Lempel & Ziv, 1977/1978] with parameterizable space usage based on estimating which k patterns occur the most frequently in the streamed input for parameter k. This new approach overcomes the issue of finding only local repetitions, which is a natural limitation of algorithms that compress using a sliding window or by partitioning the input into blocks. For this, we introduce the top-k trie, a summary for maintaining online the top-k frequent consecutive patterns in a stream of characters based on a combination of the Lempel-Ziv 78 compression scheme and the Misra-Gries algorithm for frequent item estimation in streams. Using straightforward encoding, our implementations yield compression ratios (output over input size) competitive with established general-purpose LZ-based compression utilities such as gzip or xz.

Constrained Level Planarity Is FPT with Respect to the Vertex Cover Number

Authors: Boris Klemz and Marie Diana Sieper

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

Abstract
The problem Level Planarity asks for a crossing-free drawing of a graph in the plane such that vertices are placed at prescribed y-coordinates (called levels) and such that every edge is realized as a y-monotone curve. In the variant Constrained Level Planarity, each level y is equipped with a partial order ≺_y on its vertices and in the desired drawing the left-to-right order of vertices on level y has to be a linear extension of ≺_y. Constrained Level Planarity is known to be a remarkably difficult problem: previous results by Klemz and Rote [ACM Trans. Alg.'19] and by Brückner and Rutter [SODA'17] imply that it remains NP-hard even when restricted to graphs whose tree-depth and feedback vertex set number are bounded by a constant and even when the instances are additionally required to be either proper, meaning that each edge spans two consecutive levels, or ordered, meaning that all given partial orders are total orders. In particular, these results rule out the existence of FPT-time (even XP-time) algorithms with respect to these and related graph parameters (unless P=NP). However, the parameterized complexity of Constrained Level Planarity with respect to the vertex cover number of the input graph remained open. In this paper, we show that Constrained Level Planarity can be solved in FPT-time when parameterized by the vertex cover number. In view of the previous intractability statements, our result is best-possible in several regards: a speed-up to polynomial time or a generalization to the aforementioned smaller graph parameters is not possible, even if restricting to proper or ordered instances.

A Universal In-Place Reconfiguration Algorithm for Sliding Cube-Shaped Robots in a Quadratic Number of Moves

Authors: Zachary Abel, Hugo A. Akitaya, Scott Duke Kominers, Matias Korman, and Frederick Stock

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
In the modular robot reconfiguration problem, we are given n cube-shaped modules (or robots) as well as two configurations, i.e., placements of the n modules so that their union is face-connected. The goal is to find a sequence of moves that reconfigures the modules from one configuration to the other using "sliding moves," in which a module slides over the face or edge of a neighboring module, maintaining connectivity of the configuration at all times. For many years it has been known that certain module configurations in this model require at least Ω(n²) moves to reconfigure between them. In this paper, we introduce the first universal reconfiguration algorithm - i.e., we show that any n-module configuration can reconfigure itself into any specified n-module configuration using just sliding moves. Our algorithm achieves reconfiguration in O(n²) moves, making it asymptotically tight. We also present a variation that reconfigures in-place, it ensures that throughout the reconfiguration process, all modules, except for one, will be contained in the union of the bounding boxes of the start and end configuration.

Clustering with Few Disks to Minimize the Sum of Radii

Authors: Mikkel Abrahamsen, Sarita de Berg, Lucas Meijer, André Nusser, and Leonidas Theocharous

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
Given a set of n points in the Euclidean plane, the k-MinSumRadius problem asks to cover this point set using k disks with the objective of minimizing the sum of the radii of the disks. After a long line of research on related problems, it was finally discovered that this problem admits a polynomial time algorithm [GKKPV '12]; however, the running time of this algorithm is 𝒪(n^881), and its relevance is thereby mostly of theoretical nature. A practically and structurally interesting special case of the k-MinSumRadius problem is that of small k. For the 2-MinSumRadius problem, a near-quadratic time algorithm with expected running time 𝒪(n² log² n log² log n) was given over 30 years ago [Eppstein '92]. We present the first improvement of this result, namely, a near-linear time algorithm to compute the 2-MinSumRadius that runs in expected 𝒪(n log² n log² log n) time. We generalize this result to any constant dimension d, for which we give an 𝒪(n^{2-1/(⌈d/2⌉ + 1) + ε}) time algorithm. Additionally, we give a near-quadratic time algorithm for 3-MinSumRadius in the plane that runs in expected 𝒪(n² log² n log² log n) time. All of these algorithms rely on insights that uncover a surprisingly simple structure of optimal solutions: we can specify a linear number of lines out of which one separates one of the clusters from the remaining clusters in an optimal solution.

On the Number of Digons in Arrangements of Pairwise Intersecting Circles

Authors: Eyal Ackerman, Gábor Damásdi, Balázs Keszegh, Rom Pinchasi, and Rebeka Raffay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
A long-standing open conjecture of Branko Grünbaum from 1972 states that any arrangement of n pairwise intersecting pseudocircles in the plane can have at most 2n-2 digons. Agarwal et al. proved this conjecture for arrangements in which there is a common point surrounded by all pseudocircles. Recently, Felsner, Roch and Scheucher showed that Grünbaum’s conjecture is true for arrangements of pseudocircles in which there are three pseudocircles every pair of which creates a digon. In this paper we prove this over 50-year-old conjecture of Grünbaum for any arrangement of pairwise intersecting circles in the plane.

Semi-Algebraic Off-Line Range Searching and Biclique Partitions in the Plane

Authors: Pankaj K. Agarwal, Esther Ezra, and Micha Sharir

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
Let P be a set of m points in ℝ², let Σ be a set of n semi-algebraic sets of constant complexity in ℝ², let (S,+) be a semigroup, and let w: P → S be a weight function on the points of P. We describe a randomized algorithm for computing w(P∩σ) for every σ ∈ Σ in overall expected time O^*(m^{2s/(5s-4)}n^{(5s-6)/(5s-4)} + m^{2/3}n^{2/3} + m + n), where s > 0 is a constant that bounds the maximum complexity of the regions of Σ, and where the O^*(⋅) notation hides subpolynomial factors. For s ≥ 3, surprisingly, this bound is smaller than the best-known bound for answering m such queries in an on-line manner. The latter takes O^*(m^{s/(2s-1)}n^{(2s-2)/(2s-1)} + m + n) time. Let Φ: Σ × P → {0,1} be the Boolean predicate (of constant complexity) such that Φ(σ,p) = 1 if p ∈ σ and 0 otherwise, and let Σ_Φ P = {(σ,p) ∈ Σ× P ∣ Φ(σ,p) = 1}. Our algorithm actually computes a partition ℬ_Φ of Σ_Φ P into bipartite cliques (bicliques) of size (i.e., sum of the sizes of the vertex sets of its bicliques) O^*(m^{2s/(5s-4)}n^{(5s-6)/(5s-4)} + m^{2/3}n^{2/3} + m + n). It is straightforward to compute w(P∩σ) for all σ ∈ Σ from ℬ_Φ. Similarly, if η: Σ → S is a weight function on the regions of Σ, ∑_{σ ∈ Σ: p ∈ σ} η(σ), for every point p ∈ P, can be computed from ℬ_Φ in a straightforward manner. We also mention a few other applications of computing ℬ_Φ.

Communication Complexity and Discrepancy of Halfplanes

Authors: Manasseh Ahmed, Tsun-Ming Cheung, Hamed Hatami, and Kusha Sareen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
We study the discrepancy of the following communication problem. Alice receives a halfplane, and Bob receives a point in the plane, and their goal is to determine whether Bob’s point belongs to Alice’s halfplane. This communication task corresponds to determining whether x₁y₁+y₂ ≥ x₂, where the first player knows (x₁,x₂) and the second player knows (y₁,y₂). Denoting n = m³, we show that when the inputs are chosen from [m] × [m²], the communication discrepancy of the above problem is O(n^{-1/6} log^{3/2} n). On the other hand, through the connections to the notion of hereditary discrepancy by Matoušek, Nikolov, and Tawler (IMRN 2020) and a classical result of Matoušek (Discrete Comput. Geom. 1995), we show that the communication discrepancy of every set of n points and n halfplanes is at least Ω(n^{-1/4} log^{-1} n).

Probabilistic Analysis of Multiparameter Persistence Decompositions into Intervals

Authors: Ángel Javier Alonso, Michael Kerber, and Primoz Skraba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
Multiparameter persistence modules can be uniquely decomposed into indecomposable summands. Among these indecomposables, intervals stand out for their simplicity, making them preferable for their ease of interpretation in practical applications and their computational efficiency. Empirical observations indicate that modules that decompose into only intervals are rare. To support this observation, we show that for numerous common multiparameter constructions, such as density- or degree-Rips bifiltrations, and across a general category of point samples, the probability of the homology-induced persistence module decomposing into intervals goes to zero as the sample size goes to infinity.

ETH-Tight Algorithm for Cycle Packing on Unit Disk Graphs

Authors: Shinwoo An and Eunjin Oh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
In this paper, we consider the Cycle Packing problem on a unit disk graph defined as follows. Given a unit disk graph G with n vertices and an integer k, the goal is to find a set of k vertex-disjoint cycles of G if it exists. Our algorithm runs in time 2^O(√k) n^O(1). This improves the 2^O(√klog k) n^O(1)-time algorithm by Fomin et al. [SODA 2012, ICALP 2017]. Moreover, our algorithm is optimal assuming the exponential-time hypothesis.

Eight-Partitioning Points in 3D, and Efficiently Too

Authors: Boris Aronov, Abdul Basit, Indu Ramesh, Gianluca Tasinato, and Uli Wagner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
An eight-partition of a finite set of points (respectively, of a continuous mass distribution) in ℝ³ consists of three planes that divide the space into 8 octants, such that each open octant contains at most 1/8 of the points (respectively, of the mass). In 1966, Hadwiger showed that any mass distribution in ℝ³ admits an eight-partition; moreover, one can prescribe the normal direction of one of the three planes. The analogous result for finite point sets follows by a standard limit argument. We prove the following variant of this result: Any mass distribution (or point set) in ℝ³ admits an eight-partition for which the intersection of two of the planes is a line with a prescribed direction. Moreover, we present an efficient algorithm for calculating an eight-partition of a set of n points in ℝ³ (with prescribed normal direction of one of the planes) in time O^*(n^{5/2}).

A Clique-Based Separator for Intersection Graphs of Geodesic Disks in ℝ²

Authors: Boris Aronov, Mark de Berg, and Leonidas Theocharous

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 293, 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024)

Abstract
Let d be a (well-behaved) shortest-path metric defined on a path-connected subset of ℝ² and let 𝒟 = {D_1,…,D_n} be a set of geodesic disks with respect to the metric d. We prove that 𝒢^×(𝒟), the intersection graph of the disks in 𝒟, has a clique-based separator consisting of O(n^{3/4+ε}) cliques. This significantly extends the class of objects whose intersection graphs have small clique-based separators. Our clique-based separator yields an algorithm for q-Coloring that runs in time 2^O(n^{3/4+ε}), assuming the boundaries of the disks D_i can be computed in polynomial time. We also use our clique-based separator to obtain a simple, efficient, and almost exact distance oracle for intersection graphs of geodesic disks. Our distance oracle uses O(n^{7/4+ε}) storage and can report the hop distance between any two nodes in 𝒢^×(𝒟) in O(n^{3/4+ε}) time, up to an additive error of one. So far, distance oracles with an additive error of one that use subquadratic storage and sublinear query time were not known for such general graph classes.
