We consider the problem of undirected graphical model inference. In many applications, instead of perfectly recovering the unknown graph structure, a more realistic goal is to infer some graph invariants (e.g., the maximum degree, the number of connected subgraphs, the number of isolated nodes). In this paper, we propo…
We consider testing and learning problems on causal Bayesian networks as defined by Pearl (Pearl, 2009). Given a causal Bayesian network M on a graph with n discrete variables and bounded in-degree and bounded `confounded components', we show that O(logn) interventions on an unknown causal Bayesian ne…
This paper considers a new framework to detect communities in a graph from the observation of signals at its nodes. We model the observed signals as noisy outputs of an unknown network process, represented as a graph filter that is excited by a set of unknown low-rank inputs/excitations. Application scenarios of this m…
We develop an unsupervised, nonparametric, and scalable statistical learning method for detection of unknown objects in noisy images. The method uses results from percolation theory and random graph theory. We present an algorithm that allows to detect objects of unknown shapes and sizes in the presence of nonparametri…
Efficiently matches random graphs with inhomogeneous edge probabilities.
problem Matching latent vertex correspondence between two correlated random graphs with inhomogeneous edge probabilities.
method Inspired by Ding et al. (2021), an efficient matching algorithm is developed with conditions on minimal average degree and minimal correlation.
result An efficient matching algorithm is obtained as long as the minimal average degree is at least Ω(log2n) and the minimal correlation is at least 1−O(log−2n).
We study agents communicating over an underlying network by exchanging messages, in order to optimize their individual regret in a common nonstochastic multi-armed bandit problem. We derive regret minimization algorithms that guarantee for each agent v an individual expected regret of $\widetilde{O}\left(\sqrt{\left(…
We consider the problem of recovering a function input of a differential equation formulated on an unknown domain M. We assume to have access to a discrete domain Mn={x1,…,xn}⊂M, and to noisy measurements of the output solution at p≤n of those points. We introduce a graph-based Bayesian inve…
The notion of a pseudoknot is defined as an equivalence class of knot diagrams that may be missing some crossing information. We provide here a topological invariant schema for pseudoknots and their relatives, 4-valent rigid vertex spatial graphs and singular knots, that is obtained by replacing unknown crossings or ve…
A graph manifold rational homology 3-sphere W with a left-orderable fundamental group admits a co-oriented taut foliation, though it is unknown whether it admits a smooth co-oriented taut foliation. In this paper we extend the gluing theorem of arXiv:1401.7726 to graph manifold rational homology solid tori and use …
A novel approach is put forth that utilizes data similarity, quantified on a graph, to improve upon the reconstruction performance of principal component analysis. The tasks of data dimensionality reduction and reconstruction are formulated as graph filtering operations, that enable the exploitation of data node connec…
Promising results have driven a recent surge of interest in continuous optimization methods for Bayesian network structure learning from observational data. However, there are theoretical limitations on the identifiability of underlying structures obtained from observational data alone. Interventional data provides muc…
A graph is called intrinsically knotted if every embedding of the graph contains a knotted cycle. Johnson, Kidwell and Michael showed that intrinsically knotted graphs have at least 21 edges. Recently Lee, Kim, Lee and Oh, and, independently, Barsotti and Mattman, showed that K7 and the 13 graphs obtained from K7…
In this paper, we present a simple non-parametric method for learning the structure of undirected graphs from data that drawn from an underlying unknown distribution. We propose to use Brownian distance covariance to estimate the conditional independences between the random variables and encodes pairwise Markov graph. …
Recent advances in Quantum Topology assign q-series to knots in at least three different ways. The q-series are given by generalized Nahm sums (i.e., special q-hypergeometric sums) and have unknown modular and asymptotic properties. We give an efficient method to compute those q-series that come from planar gra…
We introduce Graphical TREX (GTREX), a novel method for graph estimation in high-dimensional Gaussian graphical models. By conducting neighborhood selection with TREX, GTREX avoids tuning parameters and is adaptive to the graph topology. We compare GTREX with standard methods on a new simulation set-up that is designed…
