A Fast Binary Splitting Approach for Non-Adaptive Learning of Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi Graphs

arXiv:2511. 17240v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of learning an unknown graph via group queries on node subsets, where each query reports whether at least one edge is present among the queried nodes.

Actively Learning Halfspaces without Synthetic Data

arXiv:2509. 20848v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the classic point location problem, one is given an arbitrary dataset $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of $n$ points with query access to an unknown halfspace $f : \mathbb{R}^d \to \{0,1\}$, and the goal is to learn the label of every point in $X$.

Clustering with Non-adaptive Subset Queries

arXiv:2409. 10908v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recovering the underlying $k$-clustering of a set $U$ of $n$ points by asking pair-wise same-cluster queries has garnered significant interest in the past few years.

Learning Distributions from Multiple Data Providers

arXiv:2607. 24732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by learning from heterogeneous and overlapping data providers, we study a stylized model of distribution learning from restricted conditional samples.

Testing Distributions Against Bounded Distinguishers

arXiv:2607. 15645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of testing distributions over high-dimensional or continuous domains, we study distribution testing with respect to bounded classes of distinguishers.

Robust Detection of Planted Subgraphs in Semi-Random Models

arXiv:2508. 02158v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Detection of planted subgraphs in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs has been extensively studied, leading to a rich body of results characterizing both statistical and computational thresholds.
