--- _id: '6725' abstract: - lang: eng 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." alternative_title: - LIPIcs author: - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov citation: ama: 'Kolmogorov V.

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.

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. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Dimitris full_name: Achlioptas, Dimitris last_name: Achlioptas - first_name: Fotis full_name: Iliopoulos, Fotis last_name: Iliopoulos - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov citation: ama: Achlioptas D, Iliopoulos F, Kolmogorov V.

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. article_number: 748-752 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Amal full_name: Rannen-Triki, Amal last_name: Rannen-Triki - first_name: Maxim full_name: Berman, Maxim last_name: Berman - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov - first_name: Matthew B. full_name: Blaschko, Matthew B. last_name: Blaschko citation: ama: 'Rannen-Triki A, Berman M, Kolmogorov V, Blaschko MB.

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. author: - first_name: Alexander full_name: Shekhovtsov, Alexander last_name: Shekhovtsov - first_name: Paul full_name: Swoboda, Paul id: 446560C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Swoboda - first_name: Bogdan full_name: Savchynskyy, Bogdan last_name: Savchynskyy citation: ama: Shekhovtsov A, Swoboda P, Savchynskyy B.

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. acknowledgement: The second author was supported by National Science Center grant DEC-2011-/01/B/ST6/01006. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexandr full_name: Kazda, Alexandr id: 3B32BAA8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kazda - first_name: Marcin full_name: Kozik, Marcin last_name: Kozik - first_name: Ralph full_name: McKenzie, Ralph last_name: McKenzie - first_name: Matthew full_name: Moore, Matthew last_name: Moore citation: ama: 'Kazda A, Kozik M, McKenzie R, Moore M.

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. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Pritish full_name: Mohapatra, Pritish last_name: Mohapatra - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek - first_name: C V full_name: Jawahar, C V last_name: Jawahar - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov - first_name: M Pawan full_name: Kumar, M Pawan last_name: Kumar citation: ama: 'Mohapatra P, Rolinek M, Jawahar CV, Kolmogorov V, Kumar MP.

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.' acknowledgement: Leonid Reyzin was supported in part by IST Austria and by US NSF grants 1012910, 1012798, and 1422965; this research was performed while he was visiting IST Austria. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Joel F full_name: Alwen, Joel F id: 2A8DFA8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alwen - first_name: Peter full_name: Gazi, Peter last_name: Gazi - first_name: Chethan full_name: Kamath Hosdurg, Chethan id: 4BD3F30E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kamath Hosdurg - first_name: Karen full_name: Klein, Karen id: 3E83A2F8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Klein - first_name: Georg F full_name: Osang, Georg F id: 464B40D6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Osang orcid: 0000-0002-8882-5116 - first_name: Krzysztof Z full_name: Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z id: 3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pietrzak orcid: 0000-0002-9139-1654 - first_name: Lenoid full_name: Reyzin, Lenoid last_name: Reyzin - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek - first_name: Michal full_name: Rybar, Michal id: 2B3E3DE8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rybar citation: ama: 'Alwen JF, Gazi P, Kamath Hosdurg C, et al.

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.

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. article_number: '22' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Alexandr full_name: Kazda, Alexandr id: 3B32BAA8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kazda - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek citation: ama: Kazda A, Kolmogorov V, Rolinek M.

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. author: - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov - first_name: Andrei full_name: Krokhin, Andrei last_name: Krokhin - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek citation: ama: Kolmogorov V, Krokhin A, Rolinek M.

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.

The goal is to find an assignment of labels to its variables\r\nthat satisfies all constraints (or decide whether one exists). If we allow more general\r\n“soft” constraints, which come with (possibly infinite) costs of particular assignments,\r\nwe obtain instances from a richer class called Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem\r\n(VCSP). There the goal is to find an assignment with minimum total cost.\r\nIn this thesis, we focus (assuming that P\r\n6\r\n=\r\nNP) on classifying computational com-\r\nplexity of CSPs and VCSPs under certain restricting conditions. Two results are the core\r\ncontent of the work. In one of them, we consider VCSPs parametrized by a constraint\r\nlanguage, that is the set of “soft” constraints allowed to form the instances, and finish\r\nthe complexity classification modulo (missing pieces of) complexity classification for\r\nanalogously parametrized CSP. The other result is a generalization of Edmonds’ perfect\r\nmatching algorithm. This generalization contributes to complexity classfications in two\r\nways. First, it gives a new (largest known) polynomial-time solvable class of Boolean\r\nCSPs in which every variable may appear in at most two constraints and second, it\r\nsettles full classification of Boolean CSPs with planar drawing (again parametrized by a\r\nconstraint language)." acknowledgement: FP7/2007-2013/ERC grant agreement no 616160 alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek citation: ama: Rolinek M.

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. Knowing that edge CSP is tractable for even Δ-matroid constraints allows us to extend the tractability result to a larger class of Δ-matroids that includes many classes that were known to be tractable before, namely co-independent, compact, local and binary. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexandr full_name: Kazda, Alexandr id: 3B32BAA8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kazda - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek citation: ama: 'Kazda A, Kolmogorov V, Rolinek M.

Two leading solvers for this problem optimize the Lagrange decomposition duals with sub-gradient and dual ascent (also known as message passing) updates. We explore this direction further and propose several additional Lagrangean relaxations of the graph matching problem along with corresponding algorithms, which are all based on a common dual ascent framework. Our extensive empirical evaluation gives several theoretical insights and suggests a new state-of-the-art anytime solver for the considered problem. Our improvement over state-of-the-art is particularly visible on a new dataset with large-scale sparse problem instances containing more than 500 graph nodes each. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Paul full_name: Swoboda, Paul id: 446560C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Swoboda - first_name: Carsten full_name: Rother, Carsten last_name: Rother - first_name: Carsten full_name: Abu Alhaija, Carsten last_name: Abu Alhaija - first_name: Dagmar full_name: Kainmueller, Dagmar last_name: Kainmueller - first_name: Bogdan full_name: Savchynskyy, Bogdan last_name: Savchynskyy citation: ama: 'Swoboda P, Rother C, Abu Alhaija C, Kainmueller D, Savchynskyy B.
