Breaking the $n^{1.5}$ Additive Error Barrier for Private and Efficient Graph Sparsification via Private Expander Decomposition

ICML 2025poster

We study differentially private algorithms for graph cut sparsification, a fundamental problem in algorithms, privacy, and machine learning. While significant progress has been made, the best-known private and efficient cut sparsifiers on $n$-node graphs approximate each cut within $\widetilde{O}(n^…

Differentially Private Gomory-Hu Trees

NeurIPS 2025poster

Given an undirected, weighted $n$-vertex graph $G = (V, E, w)$, a Gomory-Hu tree $T$ is a weighted tree on $V$ that preserves the Min-$s$-$t$-Cut between any pair of vertices $s, t \in V$. Finding cuts in graphs is a key primitive in problems such as bipartite matching, spectral and correlation clus…

Privacy Amplification by Structured Subsampling for Deep Differentially Private Time Series Forecasting

ICML 2025spotlight

Many forms of sensitive data, such as web traffic, mobility data, or hospital occupancy, are inherently sequential. The standard method for training machine learning models while ensuring privacy for units of sensitive information, such as individual hospital visits, is differentially private stocha…

Sparse-pivot: Dynamic correlation clustering for node insertions

ICML 2025spotlight

We present a new Correlation Clustering algorithm for a dynamic setting where nodes are added one at a time. In this model, proposed by Cohen-Addad, Lattanzi, Maggiori, and Parotsidis (ICML 2024), the algorithm uses database queries to access the input graph and updates the clustering as each new no…

Pruned Pivot: Correlation Clustering Algorithm for Dynamic, Parallel, and Local Computation Models

ICML 2024oral

Given a graph with positive and negative edge labels, the correlation clustering problem aims to cluster the nodes so to minimize the total number of between-cluster positive and within-cluster negative edges. This problem has many applications in data mining, particularly in unsupervised learning.…

In- or out-of-distribution detection via dual divergence estimation

UAI 2023poster

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) samples is a problem of practical importance for a reliable use of deep neural networks (DNNs) in production settings. The corollary to this problem is the detection in-distribution (ID) samples, which is applicable to domain adaptation scenarios for augmenting a…

Information theoretic clustering via divergence maximization among clusters

UAI 2023poster

Information-theoretic clustering is one of the most promising and principled approaches to finding clusters with minimal apriori assumptions. The key criterion therein is to maximize the mutual information between the data points and their cluster labels. Such an approach, however, does not explicit…

Nearly Tight Bounds For Differentially Private Multiway Cut

NeurIPS 2023oral

Finding min $s$-$t$ cuts in graphs is a basic algorithmic tool, with applications in image segmentation, community detection, reinforcement learning, and data clustering. In this problem, we are given two nodes as terminals and the goal is to remove the smallest number of edges from the graph so tha…
