Detecting high log-densities: an O(n¼) approximation for densest k-subgraph
TLDR
In the Densest k-Subgraph problem, given a graph G and a parameter k, one needs to find a subgraph of G induced on k vertices that contains the largest number of edges. Expand

Smoothed analysis of tensor decompositions
TLDR
We show that tensor products of perturbed vectors are linearly independent in a robust sense in the framework of smoothed analysis. Expand

Approximation algorithms for semi-random partitioning problems
In this paper, we propose and study a new semi-random model for graph partitioning problems. We believe that it captures many properties of real-world instances. The model is more flexible than the… Expand

On Learning Mixtures of Well-Separated Gaussians
TLDR
We consider the problem of efficiently learning mixtures of a large number of spherical Gaussians, when the components of the mixture are well separated. Expand

Approximating matrix p-norms
TLDR
We consider the problem of computing the ↦ ↦ <i>p</i> norm of a matrix with non-negative entries, which is defined for < i>p, q</I> ≥ 1, as a non-convex optimization problem, and present an efficient algorithm for computing it. Expand

Clustering Stable Instances of Euclidean k-means
TLDR
We design efficient algorithms that provably recover the optimal clustering for instances that are additive perturbation stable for the Euclidean k-means clustering problem. Expand

Beating the random assignment on constraint satisfaction problems of bounded degree
TLDR
We show that for any odd k and any instance I of the max-kXOR constraint satisfaction problem, there is an efficient algorithm that finds an assignment satisfying at least a 1/2 + Omega(1/sqrt(D)) fraction of I's constraints, where D is a bound on the number of constraints that each variable occurs in.

On Robustness to Adversarial Examples and Polynomial Optimization
TLDR
We study the design of computationally efficient algorithms with provable guarantees, that are robust to adversarial (test time) perturbations. Expand
