Detection of Correlated Random Vectors

no code implementations24 Jan 2024 Dor Elimelech, Wasim Huleihel

In this paper, we investigate the problem of deciding whether two standard normal random vectors $\mathsf{X}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\mathsf{Y}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ are correlated or not.

Testing Dependency of Unlabeled Databases

no code implementations10 Nov 2023 Vered Paslev, Wasim Huleihel

In this paper, we investigate the problem of deciding whether two random databases $\mathsf{X}\in\mathcal{X}^{n\times d}$ and $\mathsf{Y}\in\mathcal{Y}^{n\times d}$ are statistically dependent or not.

Online Auditing of Information Flow

no code implementations23 Oct 2023 Mor Oren-Loberman, Vered Azar, Wasim Huleihel

To that end, we first construct an offline algorithm for learning the probabilistic information spreading model, and then apply our optimal detection algorithm.

Deep Learning-Aided Subspace-Based DOA Recovery for Sparse Arrays

no code implementations10 Sep 2023 Yoav Amiel, Dor H. Shmuel, Nir Shlezinger, Wasim Huleihel

By doing so, we learn to cope with coherent sources and miscalibrated sparse arrays, while preserving the interpretability and the suitability of model-based subspace DoA estimators.

Planted Bipartite Graph Detection

no code implementations7 Feb 2023 Asaf Rotenberg, Wasim Huleihel, Ofer Shayevitz

To provide an evidence for this statistical computational gap, we prove computational lower bounds based on the low-degree conjecture, and show that the class of low-degree polynomials algorithms fail in the conjecturally hard region.

Phase Transitions in the Detection of Correlated Databases

no code implementations7 Feb 2023 Dor Elimelech, Wasim Huleihel

We study the problem of detecting the correlation between two Gaussian databases $\mathsf{X}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ and $\mathsf{Y}^{n\times d}$, each composed of $n$ users with $d$ features.

Learning k-Level Sparse Neural Networks Using a New Generalized Weighted Group Sparse Envelope Regularization

no code implementations25 Dec 2022 Yehonathan Refael, Iftach Arbel, Wasim Huleihel

We propose an efficient method to learn both unstructured and structured sparse neural networks during training, utilizing a novel generalization of the sparse envelope function (SEF) used as a regularizer, termed {\itshape{weighted group sparse envelope function}} (WGSEF).

Mathematical Framework for Online Social Media Auditing

no code implementations12 Sep 2022 Wasim Huleihel, Yehonathan Refael

Social media platforms (SMPs) leverage algorithmic filtering (AF) as a means of selecting the content that constitutes a user's feed with the aim of maximizing their rewards.

Inferring Hidden Structures in Random Graphs

no code implementations5 Oct 2021 Wasim Huleihel

The detection problem is formalized as a hypothesis testing problem, where under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph $\mathcal{G}(n, q)$ with edge density $q\in(0, 1)$; under the alternative, there is an unknown structure $\Gamma_k$ on $k$ nodes, planted in $\mathcal{G}(n, q)$, such that it appears as an \emph{induced subgraph}.

Random Subgraph Detection Using Queries

no code implementations2 Oct 2021 Wasim Huleihel, Arya Mazumdar, Soumyabrata Pal

Under the alternative, there is a subgraph on $k$ vertices with edge probability $p>q$.

Fuzzy Clustering with Similarity Queries

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Wasim Huleihel, Arya Mazumdar, Soumyabrata Pal

In particular, we provide algorithms for fuzzy clustering in this setting that asks $O(\mathsf{poly}(k)\log n)$ similarity queries and run with polynomial-time-complexity, where $n$ is the number of items.

Learning User Preferences in Non-Stationary Environments

no code implementations29 Jan 2021 Wasim Huleihel, Soumyabrata Pal, Ofer Shayevitz

One of the main surprising observations in our experiments is the fact our algorithm outperforms other static algorithms even when preferences do not change over time.

Sharp Thresholds of the Information Cascade Fragility Under a Mismatched Model

no code implementations7 Jun 2020 Wasim Huleihel, Ofer Shayevitz

We analyze a sequential decision making model in which decision makers (or, players) take their decisions based on their own private information as well as the actions of previous decision makers.

Same-Cluster Querying for Overlapping Clusters

no code implementations NeurIPS 2019 Wasim Huleihel, Arya Mazumdar, Muriel Médard, Soumyabrata Pal

In this paper, we look at the more practical scenario of overlapping clusters, and provide upper bounds (with algorithms) on the sufficient number of queries.

Universality of Computational Lower Bounds for Submatrix Detection

no code implementations19 Feb 2019 Matthew Brennan, Guy Bresler, Wasim Huleihel

In the general submatrix detection problem, the task is to detect the presence of a small $k \times k$ submatrix with entries sampled from a distribution $\mathcal{P}$ in an $n \times n$ matrix of samples from $\mathcal{Q}$.
