  text: "A Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) provides a common framework
    that can express a wide range of discrete optimization problems. A VCSP instance
    is given by a finite set of variables, a finite domain of labels, and an objective
    function to be minimized. This function is represented as a sum of terms where
    each term depends on a subset of the variables. To obtain different classes of
    optimization problems, one can restrict all terms to come from a fixed set Γ of
    cost functions, called a language. \r\nRecent breakthrough results have established
    a complete complexity classification of such classes with respect to language
    Γ: if all cost functions in Γ satisfy a certain algebraic condition then all Γ-instances
    can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise the problem is NP-hard. Unfortunately,
    testing this condition for a given language Γ is known to be NP-hard. We thus
    study exponential algorithms for this meta-problem. We show that the tractability
    condition of a finite-valued language Γ can be tested in O(3‾√3|D|⋅poly(size(Γ)))
    time, where D is the domain of Γ and poly(⋅) is some fixed polynomial. We also
    obtain a matching lower bound under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH).
    More precisely, we prove that for any constant δ<1 there is no O(3‾√3δ|D|) algorithm,
    assuming that SETH holds."

  text: The main contributions of this paper are the proposition and the convergence
    analysis of a class of inertial projection-type algorithm for solving variational
    inequality problems in real Hilbert spaces where the underline operator is monotone
    and uniformly continuous. We carry out a unified analysis of the proposed method
    under very mild assumptions. In particular, weak convergence of the generated
    sequence is established and nonasymptotic O(1 / n) rate of convergence is established,
    where n denotes the iteration counter. We also present some experimental results
    to illustrate the profits gained by introducing the inertial extrapolation steps.

  text: We develop a framework for the rigorous analysis of focused stochastic local
    search algorithms. These algorithms search a state space by repeatedly selecting
    some constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a random nearby
    state that addresses the violation, while (we hope) not introducing many new violations.
    An important class of focused local search algorithms with provable performance
    guarantees has recently arisen from algorithmizations of the Lovász local lemma
    (LLL), a nonconstructive tool for proving the existence of satisfying states by
    introducing a background measure on the state space. While powerful, the state
    transitions of algorithms in this class must be, in a precise sense, perfectly
    compatible with the background measure. In many applications this is a very restrictive
    requirement, and one needs to step outside the class. Here we introduce the notion
    of measure distortion and develop a framework for analyzing arbitrary focused
    stochastic local search algorithms, recovering LLL algorithmizations as the special
    case of no distortion. Our framework takes as input an arbitrary algorithm of
    such type and an arbitrary probability measure and shows how to use the measure
    as a yardstick of algorithmic progress, even for algorithms designed independently
    of the measure.

  text: We present a new proximal bundle method for Maximum-A-Posteriori (MAP) inference
    in structured energy minimization problems. The method optimizes a Lagrangean
    relaxation of the original energy minimization problem using a multi plane block-coordinate
    Frank-Wolfe method that takes advantage of the specific structure of the Lagrangean
    decomposition. We show empirically that our method outperforms state-of-the-art
    Lagrangean decomposition based algorithms on some challenging Markov Random Field,
    multi-label discrete tomography and graph matching problems.

  text: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become increasingly important due to their
    excellent empirical performance on a wide range of problems. However, regularization
    is generally achieved by indirect means, largely due to the complex set of functions
    defined by a network and the difficulty in measuring function complexity. There
    exists no method in the literature for additive regularization based on a norm
    of the function, as is classically considered in statistical learning theory.
    In this work, we study the tractability of function norms for deep neural networks
    with ReLU activations. We provide, to the best of our knowledge, the first proof
    in the literature of the NP-hardness of computing function norms of DNNs of 3
    or more layers. We also highlight a fundamental difference between shallow and
    deep networks. In the light on these results, we propose a new regularization
    strategy based on approximate function norms, and show its efficiency on a segmentation
    task with a DNN.

  text: It is well known that many problems in image recovery, signal processing,
    and machine learning can be modeled as finding zeros of the sum of maximal monotone
    and Lipschitz continuous monotone operators. Many papers have studied forward-backward
    splitting methods for finding zeros of the sum of two monotone operators in Hilbert
    spaces. Most of the proposed splitting methods in the literature have been proposed
    for the sum of maximal monotone and inverse-strongly monotone operators in Hilbert
    spaces. In this paper, we consider splitting methods for finding zeros of the
    sum of maximal monotone operators and Lipschitz continuous monotone operators
    in Banach spaces. We obtain weak and strong convergence results for the zeros
    of the sum of maximal monotone and Lipschitz continuous monotone operators in
    Banach spaces. Many already studied problems in the literature can be considered
    as special cases of this paper.

  text: The accuracy of information retrieval systems is often measured using complex
    loss functions such as the average precision (AP) or the normalized discounted
    cumulative gain (NDCG). Given a set of positive and negative samples, the parameters
    of a retrieval system can be estimated by minimizing these loss functions. However,
    the non-differentiability and non-decomposability of these loss functions does
    not allow for simple gradient based optimization algorithms. This issue is generally
    circumvented by either optimizing a structured hinge-loss upper bound to the loss
    function or by using asymptotic methods like the direct-loss minimization framework.
    Yet, the high computational complexity of loss-augmented inference, which is necessary
    for both the frameworks, prohibits its use in large training data sets. To alleviate
    this deficiency, we present a novel quicksort flavored algorithm for a large class
    of non-decomposable loss functions. We provide a complete characterization of
    the loss functions that are amenable to our algorithm, and show that it includes
    both AP and NDCG based loss functions. Furthermore, we prove that no comparison
    based algorithm can improve upon the computational complexity of our approach
    asymptotically. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in the context
    of optimizing the structured hinge loss upper bound of AP and NDCG loss for learning
    models for a variety of vision tasks. We show that our approach provides significantly
    better results than simpler decomposable loss functions, while requiring a comparable
    training time.

  text: We prove that every congruence distributive variety has directed Jónsson terms,
    and every congruence modular variety has directed Gumm terms. The directed terms
    we construct witness every case of absorption witnessed by the original Jónsson
    or Gumm terms. This result is equivalent to a pair of claims about absorption
    for admissible preorders in congruence distributive and congruence modular varieties,
    respectively. For finite algebras, these absorption theorems have already seen
    significant applications, but until now, it was not clear if the theorems hold
    for general algebras as well. Our method also yields a novel proof of a result
    by P. Lipparini about the existence of a chain of terms (which we call Pixley
    terms) in varieties that are at the same time congruence distributive and k-permutable
    for some k.

  text: An N-superconcentrator is a directed, acyclic graph with N input nodes and
    N output nodes such that every subset of the inputs and every subset of the outputs
    of same cardinality can be connected by node-disjoint paths. It is known that
    linear-size and bounded-degree superconcentrators exist. We prove the existence
    of such superconcentrators with asymptotic density 25.3 (where the density is
    the number of edges divided by N). The previously best known densities were 28
    [12] and 27.4136 [17].

    were submitted to the password hashing competition (PHC). Informally, an MHF is
    a function which cannot be evaluated on dedicated hardware, like ASICs, at significantly
    lower hardware and/or energy cost than evaluating a single instance on a standard
    single-core architecture. Data-independent means the memory access pattern of
    the function is independent of the input; this makes iMHFs harder to construct
    than data-dependent ones, but the latter can be attacked by various side-channel
    attacks. Following [Alwen-Blocki''16], we capture the evaluation of an iMHF as
    a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The cumulative parallel pebbling complexity of
    this DAG is a measure for the hardware cost of evaluating the iMHF on an ASIC.
    Ideally, one would like the complexity of a DAG underlying an iMHF to be as close
    to quadratic in the number of nodes of the graph as possible. Instead, we show
    that (the DAGs underlying) the following iMHFs are far from this bound: Rig.v2,
    TwoCats and Gambit each having an exponent no more than 1.75. Moreover, we show
    that the complexity of the iMHF modes of the PHC finalists Pomelo and Lyra2 have
    exponents at most 1.83 and 1.67 respectively. To show this we investigate a combinatorial
    property of each underlying DAG (called its depth-robustness. By establishing
    upper bounds on this property we are then able to apply the general technique
    of [Alwen-Block''16] for analyzing the hardware costs of an iMHF.'

  text: We consider the NP-hard problem of MAP-inference for undirected discrete graphical
    models. We propose a polynomial time and practically efficient algorithm for finding
    a part of its optimal solution. Specifically, our algorithm marks some labels
    of the considered graphical model either as (i) optimal, meaning that they belong
    to all optimal solutions of the inference problem; (ii) non-optimal if they provably
    do not belong to any solution. With access to an exact solver of a linear programming
    relaxation to the MAP-inference problem, our algorithm marks the maximal possible
    (in a specified sense) number of labels. We also present a version of the algorithm,
    which has access to a suboptimal dual solver only and still can ensure the (non-)optimality
    for the marked labels, although the overall number of the marked labels may decrease.
    We propose an efficient implementation, which runs in time comparable to a single
    run of a suboptimal dual solver. Our method is well-scalable and shows state-of-the-art
    results on computational benchmarks from machine learning and computer vision.

    Tardos,J. ACM, 57 (2010), 11] to more general discrete spaces.  At each step the
    method picks aflaw present in the current state and goes to a new state according
    to some prespecified probabilitydistribution (which depends on the current state
    and the selected flaw).  However, the recent formu-lation is less flexible than
    the Moser–Tardos method since it requires a specific flaw selection rule,whereas
    the algorithm of Moser and Tardos allows an arbitrary rule (and thus can potentially
    beimplemented more efficiently).  We formulate a new “commutativity” condition
    and prove that it issufficient for an arbitrary rule to work.  It also enables
    an efficient parallelization under an additionalassumption.  We then show that
    existing resampling oracles for perfect matchings and permutationsdo satisfy this
    condition.

  text: 'We consider the MAP-inference problem for graphical models,which is a valued
    constraint satisfaction problem defined onreal numbers with a natural summation
    operation. We proposea family of relaxations (different from the famous Sherali-Adams
    hierarchy), which naturally define lower bounds for itsoptimum. This family always
    contains a tight relaxation andwe give an algorithm able to find it and therefore,
    solve theinitial non-relaxed NP-hard problem.The relaxations we consider decompose
    the original probleminto two non-overlapping parts: an easy LP-tight part and
    adifficult one. For the latter part a combinatorial solver must beused. As we
    show in our experiments, in a number of applica-tions the second, difficult part
    constitutes only a small fractionof the whole problem. This property allows to
    significantlyreduce the computational time of the combinatorial solver andtherefore
    solve problems which were out of reach before.'

  text: The main result of this article is a generalization of the classical blossom
    algorithm for finding perfect matchings. Our algorithm can efficiently solve Boolean
    CSPs where each variable appears in exactly two constraints (we call it edge CSP)
    and all constraints are even Δ-matroid relations (represented by lists of tuples).
    As a consequence of this, we settle the complexity classification of planar Boolean
    CSPs started by Dvorak and Kupec. Using a reduction to even Δ-matroids, we then
    extend the tractability result to larger classes of Δ-matroids that we call efficiently
    coverable. It properly includes classes that were known to be tractable before,
    namely, co-independent, compact, local, linear, and binary, with the following
    caveat:We represent Δ-matroids by lists of tuples, while the last two use a representation
    by matrices. Since an n ×n matrix can represent exponentially many tuples, our
    tractability result is not strictly stronger than the known algorithm for linear
    and binary Δ-matroids.

  text: We consider the problem of estimating the partition function Z(β)=∑xexp(−β(H(x))
    of a Gibbs distribution with a Hamilton H(⋅), or more precisely the logarithm
    of the ratio q=lnZ(0)/Z(β). It has been recently shown how to approximate q with
    high probability assuming the existence of an oracle that produces samples from
    the Gibbs distribution for a given parameter value in [0,β]. The current best
    known approach due to Huber [9] uses O(qlnn⋅[lnq+lnlnn+ε−2]) oracle calls on average
    where ε is the desired accuracy of approximation and H(⋅) is assumed to lie in
    {0}∪[1,n]. We improve the complexity to O(qlnn⋅ε−2) oracle calls. We also show
    that the same complexity can be achieved if exact oracles are replaced with approximate
    sampling oracles that are within O(ε2qlnn) variation distance from exact oracles.
    Finally, we prove a lower bound of Ω(q⋅ε−2) oracle calls under a natural model
    of computation.

  text: 'We introduce two novel methods for learning parameters of graphical models
    for image labelling. The following two tasks underline both methods: (i) perturb
    model parameters based on given features and ground truth labelings, so as to
    exactly reproduce these labelings as optima of the local polytope relaxation of
    the labelling problem; (ii) train a predictor for the perturbed model parameters
    so that improved model parameters can be applied to the labelling of novel data.
    Our first method implements task (i) by inverse linear programming and task (ii)
    using a regressor e.g. a Gaussian process. Our second approach simultaneously
    solves tasks (i) and (ii) in a joint manner, while being restricted to linearly
    parameterised predictors. Experiments demonstrate the merits of both approaches.'

  text: An instance of the valued constraint satisfaction problem (VCSP) is given
    by a finite set of variables, a finite domain of labels, and a sum of functions,
    each function depending on a subset of the variables. Each function can take finite
    values specifying costs of assignments of labels to its variables or the infinite
    value, which indicates an infeasible assignment. The goal is to find an assignment
    of labels to the variables that minimizes the sum. We study, assuming that P 6=
    NP, how the complexity of this very general problem depends on the set of functions
    allowed in the instances, the so-called constraint language. The case when all
    allowed functions take values in f0;1g corresponds to ordinary CSPs, where one
    deals only with the feasibility issue, and there is no optimization. This case
    is the subject of the algebraic CSP dichotomy conjecture predicting for which
    constraint languages CSPs are tractable (i.e., solvable in polynomial time) and
    for which they are NP-hard. The case when all allowed functions take only finite
    values corresponds to a finitevalued CSP, where the feasibility aspect is trivial
    and one deals only with the optimization issue. The complexity of finite-valued
    CSPs was fully classified by Thapper and Živný. An algebraic necessary condition
    for tractability of a general-valued CSP with a fixed constraint language was
    recently given by Kozik and Ochremiak. As our main result, we prove that if a
    constraint language satisfies this algebraic necessary condition, and the feasibility
    CSP (i.e., the problem of deciding whether a given instance has a feasible solution)
    corresponding to the VCSP with this language is tractable, then the VCSP is tractable.
    The algorithm is a simple combination of the assumed algorithm for the feasibility
    CSP and the standard LP relaxation. As a corollary, we obtain that a dichotomy
    for ordinary CSPs would imply a dichotomy for general-valued CSPs.

  text: We present a novel convex relaxation and a corresponding inference algorithm
    for the non-binary discrete tomography problem, that is, reconstructing discrete-valued
    images from few linear measurements. In contrast to state of the art approaches
    that split the problem into a continuous reconstruction problem for the linear
    measurement constraints and a discrete labeling problem to enforce discrete-valued
    reconstructions, we propose a joint formulation that addresses both problems simultaneously,
    resulting in a tighter convex relaxation. For this purpose a constrained graphical
    model is set up and evaluated using a novel relaxation optimized by dual decomposition.
    We evaluate our approach experimentally and show superior solutions both mathematically
    (tighter relaxation) and experimentally in comparison to previously proposed relaxations.
