Locally Approximating the Top Eigenvector of Bounded Entry Matrices

We provide a local computation algorithm to approximate the top eigenvector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ of a symmetric matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ with entries between $-1$ and $1$, building on the work of Swartworth and Woodruff [SODA 25] who show how to approximate the eigenvalues up to additive-$\varepsilon n$ e...

A Near-Optimal Space Lower Bound for Euclidean Diameter Estimation in Dynamic Streams

We study the space complexity of diameter estimation for a set of points in Euclidean space in the dynamic (turnstile) streaming model. The seminal work of Indyk (SODA 2003) gives a $c$-approximation to the Euclidean diameter of $n$ vectors using $n^{O(1/c^2)}$ space. Our main contribution is giving an essentially matc...

Learning Partition Trees for Nearest Neighbor Search

It is proved that without distributional assumptions, finding the optimal balanced halfspace is NP-hard, and an efficient improper learning algorithm is designed that outputs a balanced polynomial threshold function of degree 1 that cuts at most an $O(\sqrt{\alpha+\varepsilon})$ fraction.
