Faster Approximate Linear Matroid Intersection

Authors: Tatsuya Terao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 370, 20th Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2026)

Abstract
We consider a fast approximation algorithm for the linear matroid intersection problem. In this problem, we are given two r × n matrices M₁ and M₂, and the objective is to find a largest set of columns that are linearly independent in both M₁ and M₂. We design a (1 - ε)-approximation algorithm with time complexity Õ_{ε}(nnz(M₁) + nnz(M₂) + r_{*}^{ω}), where nnz(M_i) denotes the number of nonzero entries in M_i for i = 1, 2, r_{*} denotes the maximum size of a common independent set, and ω < 2.372 denotes the matrix multiplication exponent. Our approximation algorithm is faster than the exact algorithm by Harvey [FOCS'06 & SICOMP'09] and Cheung-Kwok-Lau [STOC'12 & JACM'13], which runs in Õ(nnz(M₁) + nnz(M₂) + n r_{*}^{ω - 1}) time. We also develop a fast (1 - ε)-approximation algorithm for the weighted version of the linear matroid intersection problem. In fact, we design a (1 - ε)-approximation algorithm for weighted linear matroid intersection with time complexity Õ_{ε}(nnz(M₁) + nnz(M₂) + r_{*}^{ω}). Our algorithm improves upon the (1 - ε)-approximation algorithm by Huang-Kakimura-Kamiyama [SODA'16 & Math. Program.'19], which runs in Õ_{ε}(nnz(M₁) + nnz(M₂) + nr_{*}^{ω - 1}) time. To obtain these results, we combine Quanrud’s adaptive sparsification framework [ICALP'24] with a simple yet effective method for efficiently checking whether a given vector lies in the linear span of a subset of vectors, which is of independent interest.

New Algorithms for Girth and Cycle Detection

Authors: Liam Roditty and Plia Trabelsi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 370, 20th Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2026)

Abstract
Let G = (V,E) be an unweighted undirected graph with n vertices and m edges. Let g be the girth of G, that is, the length of a shortest cycle in G. We present a randomized algorithm with a running time of Õ(𝓁 ⋅ n^{1 + 1/(𝓁-ε)}) that returns a cycle of length at most 2𝓁 ⌈g/2⌉ - 2 ⌊ε⌈g/2⌉⌋, where 𝓁 ≥ 2 is an integer and ε ∈ [0,1], for every graph with g = polylog(n). Our algorithm generalizes an algorithm of Kadria et al. [SODA'22] that computes a cycle of length at most 4 ⌈g/2⌉ - 2 ⌊ε⌈g/2⌉⌋ in Õ(n^{1 + 1/(2 - ε)}) time. Kadria et al. presented also an algorithm that finds a cycle of length at most 2𝓁 ⌈g/2⌉ in Õ(n^{1 + 1/(𝓁)}) time, where 𝓁 must be an integer. Our algorithm generalizes this algorithm, as well, by replacing the integer parameter 𝓁 in the running time exponent with a real-valued parameter 𝓁 - ε, thereby offering greater flexibility in parameter selection and enabling a broader spectrum of combinations between running times and cycle lengths. We also show that for sparse graphs a better tradeoff is possible, by presenting an Õ(𝓁⋅ m^{1+ 1/(𝓁-ε)}) time randomized algorithm that returns a cycle of length at most 2𝓁(⌊(g-1)/2⌋) - 2(⌊ε⌊(g-1)/2⌋⌋+1), where 𝓁 ≥ 3 is an integer and ε ∈ [0,1), for every graph with g = polylog(n). To obtain our algorithms we develop several techniques and introduce a formal definition of hybrid cycle detection algorithms. Both may prove useful in broader contexts, including other cycle detection and approximation problems. Among our techniques is a new cycle searching technique, in which we search for a cycle from a given vertex and possibly all its neighbors in linear time. Using this technique together with more ideas we develop two hybrid algorithms. The first allows us to obtain an Õ(m^{2-2/(⌈g/2⌉+1))-time, (+1)-approximation of g. The second is used to obtain our Õ(𝓁⋅ n^{1+ 1/(𝓁-ε)})-time and Õ(𝓁⋅ m^{1+ 1/(𝓁-ε)})-time approximation algorithms.

Incremental Strongly Connected Components with Predictions

Authors: Ronald Deng, Samuel McCauley, Aidin Niaparast, Helia Niaparast, Bennett Ptak, Shirel Quintanilla, Shikha Singh, and Nathan Vosburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 370, 20th Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2026)

Abstract
Algorithms with predictions is a growing area that aims to leverage machine-learned predictions to design faster beyond-worst-case algorithms. In this paper, we use this framework to design a learned data structure for the incremental strongly connected components (SCC) problem. In this problem, the n vertices of a graph are known a priori and the m directed edges arrive over time. The goal is to efficiently maintain the strongly connected components of the graph after each insert. Our algorithm receives a possibly erroneous prediction of the edge sequence and uses it to precompute partial solutions to support fast inserts. We show that our algorithm achieves nearly optimal bounds with good predictions and its performance smoothly degrades with the prediction error. We also implement our data structure and perform experiments on real datasets. Our empirical results show that the theory is predictive of practical runtime improvements.

The Quaternary Gray Code and Ziggu Puzzles

Authors: Madeleine Goertz and Aaron Williams

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 366, 13th International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2026)

Abstract
We investigate solutions to the new "Ziggu" family of sequential puzzles including Ziggurat, Zigguflat, Zigguhooked and so on. These puzzles have p pieces that form m mazes. We encode the state of each puzzle as a quaternary number (i.e., base 4) with n = m+1 digits, where each digit gives the horizontal or vertical position in one maze. For example, the commercial version of Zigguflat has p = 6 pieces connected into m = 4 mazes and its state requires n = 5 digits to describe. We show that the number of states on a shortest solution is 6 ⋅ 2ⁿ - 3n - 5 (Oeis A101946). There is only one solution of this length, and it is generated from the start configuration by a simple algorithm: make the leftmost modification that doesn't undo the previous modification. Replacing "leftmost" with "rightmost" instead generates the unique longest solution that visits all (3^{n+1} - 1)/2 states (Oeis A003462). In this way, Ziggu puzzles can be viewed as 4-ary, 3-ary, or 2-ary puzzles based on how the number of state encodings, valid states, or minimum states grow with each additional maze. Classic Gray code puzzles (e.g., Spin-Out) provide natural and illuminating comparisons. These puzzles with p pieces typically have 2^p (Oeis A000079) or ⌊ 2/3 ⋅ 2^p ⌋ (Oeis A000975 [Stockmeyer, 2017]) states on their unique (shortest) solution, and at most one modification doesn't undo the previous modification. The states visited in a Gray code puzzle solution follow the well-known binary reflected Gray code. We show that Ziggu puzzles instead follow the quaternary reflected Gray code. More specifically, the shortest and longest solutions are both sublists of this order, meaning that some quaternary words are skipped over but the relative order of the remaining words does not change. These results show how to solve Ziggu puzzles from the start configuration. To help solve the puzzle from an arbitrary configuration we provide O(n)-time comparison, and successor algorithms, which give the relative order of two states and the next state, respectively. While Gray code puzzles have simpler recursive descriptions and successor rules, a Ziggu puzzle has a much simpler loopless algorithm to generate its shortest solution than the Gray code puzzles do. The two families are also intimately related as they have the same comparison function.

Pyramid Schemes for Eating M&Ms: Enumeration, Generation, and Gray Codes

Authors: Elizabeth Hartung, Brett Stevens, and Aaron Williams

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 366, 13th International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2026)

Abstract
Consider the following problem. You have a rainbow pyramid of M&Ms with n rows. For example, when n = 4 you may have one red, two orange, three yellow, and four green {inline.pdf}. You want to eat n of the M&Ms in such a way that the remaining M&Ms can be rearranged into a rainbow pyramid with n-1 rows. Two approaches are distinct if a different number from a particular row are eaten. In other words, we only care about the multiset of row frequencies (or colours) that are eaten and not the order in which they are eaten. One solution eats one M&M per row (e.g., 1234 → {inline.pdf}). Another eats the entire bottom row (e.g., 4444 → {inline.pdf}). How many different solutions are there? We show that the answer is 2^{n-1}. Furthermore, each solution can be naturally encoded with combinatorial objects enumerated by 2^{n-1} including binary words of length n-1, compositions of n, and subsets of [n-1]. Less obviously they are encoded by M&M permutations where each value in [n] is at most one position to the right of its position in the identity (e.g., 123, 132, 213, 312 for n = 3). What if at most m from each row can be eaten? When m = 1 the only solution is to eat one of each colour. Otherwise, the solutions are counted by Fibonacci (m = 2), Tribonacci (m = 3), Tetranacci (m = 4), and so on, up to 2^{n-1} (m = n). Furthermore, solutions can be naturally encoded by limited versions of the aforementioned objects including binary strings avoiding the substring 0^{m} and M&M permutations where values are limited by moving at most 𝓁 = m-1 positions to the left. Motivated by the works of Samuel Beckett, we consider minimal-change orders of the solutions. We obtain a satisfying result by filtering the binary reflected Gray code to words avoiding 0^{m}. For example, when n = 4 we have BRGC(n) = 000, 100, 110, 010, 011, 111, 101, 001 and the words avoiding 00 are BRGC_𝓁(3) = 110, 010, 011, 111, 101 where 𝓁 = 1 is the limit on the run-lengths of 0s. Our bijection then creates solutions that differ in by a single M&M 1244, 2244, 2234,1234, 1334. Thus, Beckett’s character Murphy can imagine every experience by changing one M&M at a time. The generalized Gray code BRGC_𝓁(n) was previously defined recursively [Bernini et. al Acta Informatica 2015] with its change sequence supporting amortized 𝒪(1)-time generation [Arndt Matters Computational 2010]. We uncover a simple greedy definition - flip the leftmost bit that creates a new binary word avoiding 0^m starting from w = ⋯ 110^{𝓁}110^{𝓁} - and a successor rule that supports loopless worst-case 𝒪(1)-time generation. Furthermore, the corresponding limited M&M permutations are greedily generated by swapping the smallest value (or the leftmost pair of adjacent values) that gives a valid new permutation (e.g., ̅{12}43, 21 ̅{43}, ̅{21}34, 1 ̅{23}4, 1324 for n = 4 and 𝓁 = 1). We also consider a relaxed version of the problem in which the initial pyramid’s n rows have respective widths r, r+1, r+2, …, n, n, …, n. Here the answer is an n-term product ⟨n,r⟩! = 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 3 ⋯ r ⋅ (r+1) ⋅ (r+1) ⋯ (r+1) that we refer to as a flatorial number. Furthermore, the solutions are represented by a generalization of M&M permutations in which each symbol can appear at most r positions to the right of its position in the identity. We complete our investigation by showing that eight distinct classes of permutations are enumerated by flatorial numbers.

OrbitalBrain: A Distributed Framework for Training ML Models in Space

Authors: Om Chabra, Chenning Li, Kevin Hsieh, Santiago Segarra, Behnaz Arzani, Peder Olsen, and Ranveer Chandra

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

Abstract
Earth observation nanosatellites capture high-resolution photos of the Earth in near real-time. These images increasingly support ML applications that are critical for safety and response, such as forest fire and flood detection. However, the downlink bandwidth is limited, resulting in days or weeks of delay from image capture to training. In this work, we propose OrbitalBrain, an efficient in-space distributed ML training framework that leverages limited and predictable satellite compute, bandwidth, and power to intelligently balance data transfer, model aggregation, and local training. Our evaluations demonstrate that OrbitalBrain achieves 1.52×-12.4× speedup in time-to-accuracy while always reaching a higher final model accuracy compared to state-of-the-art ground-based or federated learning baselines. Furthermore, our approach is complementary to satellite imagery capturing and downloading, enhancing the overall efficiency of satellite-based applications.

A Simple and Robust Protocol for Distributed Counting

Authors: Edith Cohen, Moshe Shechner, and Uri Stemmer

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

Abstract
We revisit the distributed counting problem, where a server must continuously approximate the total number of events occurring across k sites while minimizing communication. The communication complexity of this problem is known to be Θ(k/(ε)log N) for deterministic protocols. Huang, Yi, and Zhang (2012) showed that randomization can reduce this to Θ((√k)/ε log N), but their analysis is restricted to the oblivious setting, where the stream of events is independent of the protocol’s outputs. Xiong, Zhu, and Huang (2023) presented a robust protocol for distributed counting that removes the oblivious assumption. However, their communication complexity is suboptimal by a polylog(k) factor and their protocol is substantially more complex than the oblivious protocol of Huang et al. (2012). This left open a natural question: could it be that the simple protocol of Huang et al. (2012) is already robust? We resolve this question with two main contributions. First, we show that the protocol of Huang et al. (2012) is itself not robust by constructing an explicit adaptive attack that forces it to lose its accuracy. Second, we present a new, surprisingly simple, robust protocol for distributed counting that achieves the optimal communication complexity of O((√k)/ε log N). Our protocol is simpler than that of Xiong et al. (2023), perhaps even simpler than that of Huang et al. (2012), and is the first to match the optimal oblivious complexity in the adaptive setting.

Maximum-Flow and Minimum-Cut Sensitivity Oracles for Directed Graphs

Authors: Mridul Ahi, Keerti Choudhary, Shlok Pande, Pushpraj, and Lakshay Saggi

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

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of designing fault-tolerant data structures for the (s,t)-max-flow and (s,t)-min-cut problems in unweighted directed graphs. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) with a designated source s, sink t, and an (s,t)-max-flow of value λ, we present constructions for max-flow and min-cut sensitivity oracles, and introduce the concept of a fault-tolerant flow family, which may be of independent interest. Our main contributions are as follows. 1) Fault-Tolerant Flow Family: We construct a family ℬ of 2λ+1 (s,t)-flows such that for every edge e, ℬ contains an (s,t)-max-flow of G-e. This covering property is tight up to constants for single failures and provably cannot extend to comparably small families for k ≥ 2, where we show an Ω(n) lower bound on the family size, independent of λ. 2) Max-Flow Sensitivity Oracle: Using the fault-tolerant flow family, we construct a single as well as dual-edge sensitivity oracle for (s,t)-max-flow that requires only O(λ n) space. Given any set F of up to two failing edges, the oracle reports the updated max-flow value in G-F in O(n) time. Additionally, for the single-failure case, the oracle can determine in constant time whether the flow through an edge x changes when another edge e fails. 3) Min-Cut Sensitivity Oracle for Dual Failures: Recently, Baswana et al. (ICALP’22) designed an O(n²)-sized oracle for answering (s,t)-min-cut size queries under dual edge failures in constant time, along with a matching lower bound. We extend this by focusing on graphs with small min-cut values λ, and present a more compact oracle of size O(λ n) that answers such min-cut size queries in constant time and reports the corresponding (s,t)-min-cut partition in O(n) time. We also show that the space complexity of our oracle is asymptotically optimal in this setting. 4) Min-Cut Sensitivity Oracle for Multiple Failures: We extend our results to the general case of k edge failures. For any graph with (s,t)-min-cut of size λ, we construct a k-fault-tolerant min-cut oracle with space complexity O_{λ,k}(n log n) that answers min-cut size queries in O_{λ,k}(log n) time. This also leads to improved fault-tolerant (s,t)-reachability oracles, achieving O(n log n) space and O(log n) query time for up to k = O(1) edge failures.

Total Search Problems in ZPP

Authors: Noah Fleming, Stefan Grosser, Siddhartha Jain, Jiawei Li, Hanlin Ren, Morgan Shirley, and Weiqiang Yuan

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

Abstract
We initiate a systematic study of TFZPP, the class of total NP search problems solvable by polynomial time randomized algorithms. TFZPP contains a variety of important search problems such as Bertrand-Chebyshev (finding a prime between N and 2N), refuter problems for many circuit lower bounds, and Lossy-Code. The Lossy-Code problem has found prominence due to its fundamental connections to derandomization, catalytic computing, and the metamathematics of complexity theory, among other areas. While TFZPP collapses to FP under standard derandomization assumptions in the white-box setting, we are able to separate TFZPP from the major TFNP subclasses in the black-box setting. In fact, we are able to separate it from every uniform TFNP class assuming that NP is not in quasi-polynomial time. To do so, we extend the connection between proof complexity and black-box TFNP to randomized proof systems and randomized reductions. Next, we turn to developing a taxonomy of TFZPP problems. We highlight a problem called Nephew, originating from an infinity axiom in set theory. We show that Nephew is in PWPP∩ TFZPP and conjecture that it is not reducible to Lossy-Code. Intriguingly, except for some artificial examples, most other black-box TFZPP problems that we are aware of reduce to Lossy-Code: - We define a problem called Empty-Child capturing finding a leaf in a rooted (binary) tree, and show that this problem is equivalent to Lossy-Code. We also show that a variant of Empty-Child with "heights" is complete for the intersection of SOPL and Lossy-Code. - We strengthen Lossy-Code with several combinatorial inequalities such as the AM-GM inequality. Somewhat surprisingly, we show the resulting new problems are still reducible to Lossy-Code. A technical highlight of this result is that they are proved by formalizations in bounded arithmetic, specifically in Jeřábek’s theory APC₁ (JSL 2007). - Finally, we show that the Dense-Linear-Ordering problem reduces to Lossy-Code.

Testable Algorithms for Approximately Counting Edges and Triangles in Sublinear Time and Space

Authors: Talya Eden, Ronitt Rubinfeld, and Arsen Vasilyan

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

Abstract
We consider the fundamental problems of approximately counting the numbers of edges and triangles in a graph in sublinear time. Previous algorithms for these tasks are significantly more efficient under a promise that the arboricity of the graph is bounded by some parameter ̅α. However, when this promise is violated, the estimates given by these algorithms are no longer guaranteed to be correct. For the triangle counting task, we give an algorithm that requires no promise on the input graph G, and computes a (1±ε)-approximation for the number of triangles t in G in time O^*((m⋅ α(G))/t + m/(t^{2/3)}), where α(G) is the arboricity of the graph. The algorithm can be used on any graph G (no prior knowledge of the arboricity α(G) is required), and the algorithm adapts its run-time on the fly based on the graph G. We accomplish this by trying a sequence of candidate values α̃ for α(G) and using a novel algorithm in the framework of testable algorithms. This ensures that wrong candidates α̃ cannot lead to wrong estimates: if the advice is incorrect, the algorithm either succeeds despite this or detects this and continues with a new candidate. Once the algorithm accepts the candidate, its output is guaranteed to be correct with high probability. We prove that this approach preserves - up to an additive overhead - the dramatic efficiency gains obtainable when good arboricity bounds are known in advance, while ensuring robustness against misleading advice. We further complement this result with a lower bound, showing that such an overhead is unavoidable whenever the advice may be faulty. We further demonstrate implications of our results for triangle counting in the streaming model.

Linear Matroid Intersection Is in Catalytic Logspace

Authors: Aryan Agarwala, Yaroslav Alekseev, and Antoine Vinciguerra

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

Abstract
Linear matroid intersection is an important problem in combinatorial optimization. Given two linear matroids over the same ground set, the linear matroid intersection problem asks you to find a common independent set of maximum size. The deep interest in linear matroid intersection is due to the fact that it generalises many classical problems in theoretical computer science, such as bipartite matching, edge disjoint spanning trees, rainbow spanning tree, and many more. We study this problem in the model of catalytic computation: space-bounded machines are granted access to catalytic space, which is additional working memory that is full with arbitrary data that must be preserved at the end of its computation. Although linear matroid intersection has had a polynomial time algorithm for over 50 years, it remains an important open problem to show that linear matroid intersection belongs to any well studied subclass of {P}. We address this problem for the class catalytic logspace (CL) with a polynomial time bound (CLP). Recently, Agarwala and Mertz (2025) showed that bipartite maximum matching can be computed in the class CLP ⊆ {P}. This was the first subclass of {P} shown to contain bipartite matching, and additionally the first problem outside TC¹ shown to be contained in CL. We significantly improve the result of Agarwala and Mertz by showing that linear matroid intersection can be computed in CLP.

Hardness of Range Avoidance and Proof Complexity Generators from Demi-Bits

Authors: Hanlin Ren, Yichuan Wang, and Yan Zhong

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

Abstract
Given a circuit G: {0, 1}ⁿ → {0, 1}^m with m > n, the range avoidance problem (Avoid) asks to output a string y ∈ {0, 1}^m that is not in the range of G. Besides its profound connection to circuit complexity and explicit construction problems, this problem is also related to the existence of proof complexity generators - circuits G: {0, 1}ⁿ → {0, 1}^m where m > n but for every y ∈ {0, 1}^m, it is infeasible to prove the statement "y ̸ ∈ Range(G)" in a given propositional proof system. This paper connects these two problems with the existence of demi-bits generators, a fundamental cryptographic primitive against nondeterministic adversaries introduced by Rudich (RANDOM '97). - We show that the existence of demi-bits generators implies Avoid is hard for nondeterministic algorithms. This resolves an open problem raised by Chen and Li (STOC '24). Furthermore, assuming the demi-hardness of certain LPN-style generators or Goldreich’s PRG, we prove the hardness of Avoid even when the instances are constant-degree polynomials over 𝔽₂. - We show that the dual weak pigeonhole principle is unprovable in Cook’s theory PV₁ under the existence of demi-bits generators secure against AM/_{O(1)}, thereby separating Jeřábek’s theory APC₁ from PV₁. Previously, Ilango, Li, and Williams (STOC '23) obtained the same separation under different (and arguably stronger) cryptographic assumptions. - We transform demi-bits generators to proof complexity generators that are pseudo-surjective in certain parameter regime. Pseudo-surjectivity is the strongest form of hardness considered in the literature for proof complexity generators. Our constructions are inspired by the recent breakthroughs on the hardness of Avoid by Ilango, Li, and Williams (STOC '23) and Chen and Li (STOC '24). We use randomness extractors to significantly simplify the construction and the proof.

Matchgate Signatures Under Variable Permutations

Authors: Boning Meng and Yicheng Pan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract
In this work, we introduce the concept of permutable matchgate signatures and leverage it to establish dichotomy theorems for #CSP and #R_D-CSP (D ≥ 3) on planar graphs without the variable ordering restriction. We also present a complete characterization of permutable matchgate signatures and their relationship to symmetric signatures. Besides, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for determining whether a matchgate signature retains its property under a certain variable permutation, which can be checked in polynomial time. In addition, we prove a dichotomy for Pl-#R_D-CSP (D ≥ 3), where the variable ordering restriction exists.

Combining Dynamic Slicing and Spectrum-Based Fault Localization - A First Experimental Evaluation

Authors: Jonas Schleich and Franz Wotawa

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 136, 36th International Conference on Principles of Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX 2025)

Abstract
Identifying and localizing bugs in programs has always been considered a complex but essential topic. Whereas the former has led to substantial progress in areas like formal verification and testing with a high degree of automation, the latter has not been satisfactorily automated. Approaches like program slicing, model-based diagnosis, and, more recently, spectrum-based fault localization can be used to find possible causes of a misbehaving program automatically, but often come with high computational complexity or a larger list of diagnoses, which require additional manual effort. In this paper, we present the first experimental results of an approach that combines program slicing with spectrum-based fault localization aiming at improving the outcome of automated debugging methods. In contrast to previous work, where we illustrated potential improvements only by considering a particular use case, we present an evaluation based on 22 different example programs in this paper. The approach improves the wasted effort on average by around 5 to 15% on average.

Unsupervised Multimodal Learning for Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis - Application to Radiotherapy Systems (PhD Panel)

Authors: Kélian Poujade, Louise Travé-Massuyès, Jérémy Pirard, and Laure Vieillevigne

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 136, 36th International Conference on Principles of Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX 2025)

Abstract
Modern complex systems, such as radiotherapy machines, require robust strategies for fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis to ensure operational continuity and patient safety. While data-driven methods have gained traction, few studies address diagnostic and prognostic tasks using multimodal operational data under unsupervised or semi-supervised learning settings. This gap is particularly critical given the scarcity of labeled failure data in real-world environments. This work aims to design a unified approach for fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis using multimodal data in the absence of complete labeling. To this end, autoencoders (AEs) are employed due to their suitability for unsupervised and self-supervised learning, flexibility in handling heterogeneous data, and ability to construct latent representations optimized for various downstream tasks. A specific implementation based on a Long Short-Term Memory β-Variational Autoencoder (LSTM-β-VAE) was developed to detect anomalies in machine logs. This framework is applied to TomoTherapy® systems - a highly complex and under-explored use case within the radiotherapy domain. Initial results demonstrate strong anomaly detection performance on both a public benchmark dataset (HDFS) and a proprietary dataset derived from real-world TomoTherapy® machine faults. Beyond methodology, the paper includes a concise literature review of multimodal learning and data-driven diagnosis and prognosis with a focus on AEs. Based on this review, key research directions are identified for the continuation of the thesis, especially the integration of explainable AI as a means to enhance diagnosis capabilities in the absence of labeled faults.
