Despite the popularity of the Transformer architecture, the standard algorithm for computing Attention suffers from quadratic time complexity in context length $n$. Alman and Song showed that when the head dimension $d = \Theta(\log n)$, subquadratic Attention is possible if and only if the inputs h…
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^…
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…
We present an almost optimal algorithm for the classic Chamberlin-Courant multiwinner voting rule (CC) on single-peaked preference profiles. Given n voters and m candidates, it runs in almost linear time in the input size improving the previous best O(nm^2) time algorithm. We also study multiwinner…
