06201 Executive Summary – Combinatorial and Algorithmic Foundations of Pattern and Association Discovery

Authors: Rudolf Ahlswede, Alberto Apostolico, and Vladimir I. Levenshtein


Abstract
The goals of this seminar have been (1) to identify and match recently developed methods to specific tasks and data sets in a core of application areas; next, based on feedback from the specific applied domain, (2) to fine tune and personalize those applications, and finally (3) to identify and tackle novel combinatorial and algorithmic problems, in some cases all the way to the development of novel software tools.

Local Minimax Learning of Approximately Polynomial Functions

Authors: Lee Jones and Konstantin Rybnikov


Abstract
Suppose we have a number of noisy measurements of an unknown real-valued function $f$ near point of interest $mathbf{x}_0 in mathbb{R}^d$. Suppose also that nothing can be assumed about the noise distribution, except for zero mean and bounded covariance matrix. We want to estimate $f$ at $mathbf{x=x}_0$ using a general linear parametric family $f(mathbf{x};mathbf{a}) = a_0 h_0 (mathbf{x}) ++ a_q h_q (mathbf{x})$, where $mathbf{a} in mathbb{R}^q$ and $h_i$'s are bounded functions on a neighborhood $B$ of $mathbf{x}_0$ which contains all points of measurement. Typically, $B$ is a Euclidean ball or cube in $mathbb{R}^d$ (more generally, a ball in an $l_p$-norm). In the case when the $h_i$'s are polynomial functions in $x_1,ldots,x_d$ the model is called locally-polynomial. In particular, if the $h_i$'s form a basis of the linear space of polynomials of degree at most two, the model is called locally-quadratic (if the degree is at most three, the model is locally-cubic, etc.). Often, there is information, which is called context, about the function $f$ (restricted to $B$ ) available, such as that it takes values in a known interval, or that it satisfies a Lipschitz condition. The theory of local minimax estimation with context for locally-polynomial models and approximately locally polynomial models has been recently initiated by Jones. In the case of local linearity and a bound on the change of $f$ on $B$, where $B$ is a ball, the solution for squared error loss is in the form of ridge regression, where the ridge parameter is identified; hence, minimax justification for ridge regression is given together with explicit best error bounds. The analysis of polynomial models of degree above 1 leads to interesting and difficult questions in real algebraic geometry and non-linear optimization. We show that in the case when $f$ is a probability function, the optimal (in the minimax sense) estimator is effectively computable (with any given precision), thanks to Tarski's elimination principle.

Non--binary error correcting codes with noiseless feedback, localized errors, or both

Authors: Rudolf Ahlswede, Christian Deppe, and Vladimir Lebedev


Abstract
We investigate non--binary error correcting codes with noiseless feedback, localized errors, or both. It turns out that the Hamming bound is a central concept. For block codes with feedback we present here a coding scheme based on an idea of erasions, which we call the {\bf rubber method}. It gives an optimal rate for big error correcting fraction $\tau$ ($>{1\over q}$) and infinitely many points on the Hamming bound for small $\tau$. We also consider variable length codes with all lengths bounded from above by $n$ and the end of a word carries the symbol $\Box$ and is thus recognizable by the decoder. For both, the $\Box$-model with feedback and the $\Box$-model with localized errors, the Hamming bound is the exact capacity curve for $\tau <1/2.$ Somewhat surprisingly, whereas with feedback the capacity curve coincides with the Hamming bound also for $1/2\leq \tau \leq 1$, in this range for localized errors the capacity curve equals 0. Also we give constructions for the models with both, feedback and localized errors.

On the Monotonicity of the String Correction Factor for Words with Mismatches

Authors: Alberto Apostolico and Cinzia Pizzi


Abstract
The string correction factor is the term by which the probability of a word $w$ needs to be multiplied in order to account for character changes or ``errors'' occurring in at most $k$ arbitrary positions in that word. The behavior of this factor, as a function of $k$ and of the word length, has implications on the number of candidates that need to be considered and weighted when looking for subwords of a sequence that present unusually recurrent replicas within some bounded number of mismatches. Specifically, it is seen that over intervals of mono- or bi-tonicity for the correction factor, only some of the candidates need be considered. This mitigates the computation and leads to tables of over-represented words that are more compact to represent and inspect. In recent work, expectation and score monotonicity has been established for a number of cases of interest, under {em i.i.d.} probabilistic assumptions. The present paper reviews the cases of bi-tonic behavior for the correction factor, concentrating on the instance in which the question is still open.

Sequence prediction for non-stationary processes

Authors: Daniil Ryabko and Marcus Hutter


Abstract
We address the problem of sequence prediction for nonstationary stochastic processes. In particular, given two measures on the set of one-way infinite sequences over a finite alphabet, consider the question whether one of the measures predicts the other. We find some conditions on local absolute continuity under which prediction is possible.

Solving Classical String Problems an Compressed Texts

Authors: Yury Lifshits


Abstract
How to solve string problems, if instead of input string we get only program generating it? Is it possible to solve problems faster than just "generate text + apply classical algorithm"? In this paper we consider strings generated by straight-line programs (SLP). These are programs using only assignment operator. We show new algorithms for equivalence, pattern matching, finding periods and covers, computing fingerprint table on SLP-generated strings. From the other hand, computing the Hamming distance is NP-hard. Main corollary is an $O(n2*m)$ algorithm for pattern matching in LZ-compressed texts.

Some Results for Identification for Sources and its Extension to Liar Models

Authors: Zlatko Varbanov


Abstract
Let (${cal U}, P$) be a source, where ${cal U} = {1,2,dots,N}, P = {P_1, P_2, dots, P_N}$, and let ${cal C} = {c_1,c_2,dots,c_N}$ be a binary prefix code (PC) for this source with $||c_u||$ as length of $c_u$. Introduce the random variable $U$ with Prob($U=u$) = $p_u$ for $u = 1,2,dots,N$ and the random variable $C$ with $C = c_u = (c_1,c_2,dots,c_{u||c_u||})$ if $U=u$. We use the PC for noiseless identification, that is user $u$ wants to know whether the source output equals $u$, that is, whether $C$ equals $c_u$ or not. The user iteratively checks whether $C$ coincides with $c_u$ in the first, second, etc. letter and stops when the first different letter occurs or when $C = c_u$. What is the expected number $L_{cal C}(P,u)$ of checkings? In order to calculate this quantity we introduce for the binary tree $T_{cal C}$, whose leaves are the codewords $c_1,c_2,dots,c_N$, the sets of leaves ${cal C}_{ik} (1 leq i leq N; 1 leq k)$, where ${cal C}_{ik} = {c in {cal C}: c$ coincides with $c_i$ exactly until the $k$'th letter of $c_i}$. If $C$ takes a value in ${cal C}_{uk}, 0 leq k leq ||c_u||-1$, the answers are $k$ times "Yes" and 1 time "No". For $C = c_u$ the $$ L_{cal C}(P,u) = sum_{k=0}^{||c_u||-1}P(C in {cal C}_{uk})(k+1) + ||c_u||P_u. $$ For code ${cal C}$,~ $L_{cal C}(P) = max L_{cal C}(P,u)$, $1 geq u geq N$, is the expected number of checkings in the worst case and $L(P) = min L_{cal C}(P)$ is this number for the best code ${cal C}$. Let $P = P^N = {frac{1}{N}, dots, frac{1}{N}}$. We construct a prefix code ${cal C}$ in the following way. In each node (starting at the root) we split the number of remaining codewords in proportion as close as possible to $(frac{1}{2},frac{1}{2})$. It is known that $$ lim_{N ightarrow infty} L_{cal C}(P^N) = 2 $$ (Ahlswede, Balkenhol, Kleinewachter, 2003) We know that $L(P) leq 3$ for all $P$ (Ahlswede, Balkenhol, Kleinewachter, 2003). Also, the problem to estimate an universal constant $A = sup L(P)$ for general $P = (P_1,dots, P_N)$ was stated (Ahlswede, 2004). We compute this constant for uniform distribution and this code ${cal C}$. $$ sup_N L_{cal C}(P^N) = 2+frac{log_2(N-1)-2}{N} $$ Also, we consider the average number of checkings, if code ${cal C}$ is used: $ L_{cal C}(P,P) = sum P_u L_{cal C}(P,u)$, for ${u in {cal U}}$. We calculate the exact values of $L_{cal C}(P^N)$ and $L_{cal C}(P^N,P^N)$ for some $N$. Other problem is the extension of identification for sources to liar models. We obtain a upper bound for the expected number of checkings $L_{cal C}(P^N;e)$, where $e$ is the maximum number of lies. $$ L_{cal C}(P^N;e) leq M_{cal C}(P^N;e) = (e+1)L_{cal C}(P^N) + e; ~~ lim_{N ightarrow infty} M_{cal C}(P^N;e) = 3e+2 $$

Subwords in reverse-complement order

Authors: Péter L. Erdös, Péter Ligeti, Péter Sziklai, and David C. Torney


Abstract
We examine finite words over an alphabet $Gamma={a,bar{a};b,bar{b}}$ of pairs of letters, where each word $w_1w_2...w_t$ is identical with its {it reverse complement} $bar{w_t}...bar{w_2}bar{w_1}$ (where $bar{bbar{a}}=a,bar{bar{b}}=b$). We seek the smallest $k$ such that every word of length $n,$ composed from $Gamma$, is uniquely determined by the set of its subwords of length up to $k$. Our almost sharp result ($ksim 2n/3$) is an analogue of a classical result for ``normal'' words. This classical problem originally was posed by M.P. Sch"utzenberger and I. Simon, and gained a considerable interest for several researchers, foremost by Vladimir Levenshtein. Our problem has its roots in bioinformatics.

Vertex reconstruction in Cayley graphs

Authors: Elena Konstantinova


Abstract
In this report paper we collect recent results on the vertex reconstruction in Cayley graphs $Cay(G,S)$. The problem is stated as the problem of reconstructing a vertex from the minimum number of its $r$-neighbors that are vertices at distance at most $r$ from the unknown vertex. The combinatorial properties of Cayley graphs on the symmetric group $Sn$ and the signed permutation group $Bn$ with respect to this problem are presented. The sets of generators of $S$ are specified by applications in coding theory, computer science, molecular biology and physics.
