Sorting with predictions

X Bai, C Coester - Advances in Neural Information …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We explore the fundamental problem of sorting through the lens of learning-augmented
algorithms, where algorithms can leverage possibly erroneous predictions to improve their …

Optimal bounds for noisy sorting

Y Gu, Y Xu - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Sorting is a fundamental problem in computer science. In the classical setting, it is well-
known that (1±o (1)) n log2 n comparisons are both necessary and sufficient to sort a list of n …

Noise-tolerant, reliable active classification with comparison queries

M Hopkins, D Kane, S Lovett… - … on Learning Theory, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
With the explosion of massive, widely available unlabeled data in the past years, finding
label and time efficient, robust learning algorithms has become ever more important in …

How to design robust algorithms using noisy comparison oracle

R Addanki, S Galhotra, B Saha - arxiv preprint arxiv:2105.05782, 2021 - arxiv.org
Metric based comparison operations such as finding maximum, nearest and farthest
neighbor are fundamental to studying various clustering techniques such as $ k $-center …

Optimal Parallel Sorting with Comparison Errors

MT Goodrich, R Jacob - Proceedings of the 35th ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We present comparison-based parallel algorithms for sorting n comparable items subject to
comparison errors. We consider errors to occur according to a well-studied framework …

Robust Best Point Selection under Unreliable User Feedback

Q Chen, RCW Wong - Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2024 - dl.acm.org
The task of finding a user's utility function (representing the user's preference) by asking
them to compare pairs of points through a series of questions, each requiring him/her to …

Statistical inference of a ranked community in a directed graph

D Kunisky, DA Spielman, AS Wein, X Yu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.19885, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of detecting or recovering a planted ranked subgraph from a directed
graph, an analog for directed graphs of the well-studied planted dense subgraph model. We …

Noisy sorting without searching: Data oblivious sorting with comparison errors

R Afshar, M Dillencourt, MT Goodrich… - … Algorithms (SEA 2023), 2023 - drops.dagstuhl.de
We provide and study several algorithms for sorting an array of n comparable distinct
elements subject to probabilistic comparison errors. In this model, the comparison of two …

External-memory sorting with comparison errors

MT Goodrich, E Ozel - Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, 2023 - Springer
We provide several algorithms for sorting an array of n comparable distinct elements subject
to probabilistic comparison errors in external memory. In this model, which has been …

Inference of rankings planted in random tournaments

D Kunisky, DA Spielman, X Yu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2407.16597, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of inferring an unknown ranking of $ n $ items from a random
tournament on $ n $ vertices whose edge directions are correlated with the ranking. We …
