### A note on spherical discrepancy

A non-algorithmic, generalized version of a recent result, asserting that a natural relaxation of the Komlós conjecture from boolean discrepancy to spherical discrepancy is true, is proved by a very

### Discrepancy minimization via a self-balancing walk

• 2021
Borders which are tight up to logarithmic factors for online vector balancing against oblivious adversaries are obtained, resolving several questions posed by Bansal, Jiang, Singla, and Sinha (STOC 2020), as well as a linear time algorithm for logarithsmic bounds for the Komlós conjecture.

### Balancing vectors and Gaussian measures of n -dimensional convex bodies

Let ‖·‖ be the Euclidean norm on Rn and γn the (standard) Gaussian measure on Rn with density (2π)−n/2e. It is proved that there is a numerical constant c>0 with the following property: if K is an

### The Gram-Schmidt walk: a cure for the Banaszczyk blues

• Mathematics

• 2018
This paper gives an efficient randomized algorithm to find a ± 1 combination of the vectors which lies in cK for c>0 an absolute constant, which leads to new efficient algorithms for several problems in discrepancy theory.

### Concentration Inequalities

This text attempts to summarize some of the basic tools used in establishing concentration inequalities, which are at the heart of the mathematical analysis of various problems in machine learning and made it possible to derive new efficient algorithms.

### The Komlos Conjecture Holds for Vector Colorings

Here it is proved that if the columns of A are assigned unit real vectors rather than +/- 1 then the Komlos conjecture holds with K=1, which opens the way to proving tighter efficient (polynomial-time computable) upper bounds for the conjecture using semidefinite programming techniques.

### An Algorithm for Komlós Conjecture Matching Banaszczyk's Bound

• 2016
An efficient algorithm is given that finds a coloring with discrepancy O((t log n)1/2), matching the best known non-constructive bound for the problem due to Banaszczyk, and gives an algorithmic O(log 1/2 n) bound.

The main idea in the algorithms is to produce a coloring over time by letting the color of the elements perform a random walk (with tiny increments) starting from 0 until they reach $\pm 1$.
