text: 'We show attacks on five data-independent memory-hard functions (iMHF) that
were submitted to the password hashing competition (PHC). Informally, an MHF is
a function which cannot be evaluated on dedicated hardware, like ASICs, at significantly
lower hardware and/or energy cost than evaluating a single instance on a standard
single-core architecture. Data-independent means the memory access pattern of
the function is independent of the input; this makes iMHFs harder to construct
than data-dependent ones, but the latter can be attacked by various side-channel
attacks. Following [Alwen-Blocki''16], we capture the evaluation of an iMHF as
a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The cumulative parallel pebbling complexity of
this DAG is a measure for the hardware cost of evaluating the iMHF on an ASIC.
Ideally, one would like the complexity of a DAG underlying an iMHF to be as close
to quadratic in the number of nodes of the graph as possible. Instead, we show
that (the DAGs underlying) the following iMHFs are far from this bound: Rig.v2,
TwoCats and Gambit each having an exponent no more than 1.75. Moreover, we show
that the complexity of the iMHF modes of the PHC finalists Pomelo and Lyra2 have
exponents at most 1.83 and 1.67 respectively. To show this we investigate a combinatorial
property of each underlying DAG (called its depth-robustness. By establishing
upper bounds on this property we are then able to apply the general technique
of [Alwen-Block''16] for analyzing the hardware costs of an iMHF.'

arXiv preprint, 2018] for finding objects that avoid“bad features,” or “flaws.” It extends the Moser–Tardos resampling algorithm [R. A. Moser andG.
Tardos,J. ACM, 57 (2010), 11] to more general discrete spaces. At each step the
method picks aflaw present in the current state and goes to a new state according
to some prespecified probabilitydistribution (which depends on the current state
and the selected flaw). However, the recent formu-lation is less flexible than
the Moser–Tardos method since it requires a specific flaw selection rule,whereas
the algorithm of Moser and Tardos allows an arbitrary rule (and thus can potentially
beimplemented more efficiently). We formulate a new “commutativity” condition
and prove that it issufficient for an arbitrary rule to work. It also enables
an efficient parallelization under an additionalassumption. We then show that
existing resampling oracles for perfect matchings and permutationsdo satisfy this
condition.

text: 'We consider the MAP-inference problem for graphical models,which is a valued
constraint satisfaction problem defined onreal numbers with a natural summation
operation. We proposea family of relaxations (different from the famous Sherali-Adams
hierarchy), which naturally define lower bounds for itsoptimum. This family always
contains a tight relaxation andwe give an algorithm able to find it and therefore,
solve theinitial non-relaxed NP-hard problem.The relaxations we consider decompose
the original probleminto two non-overlapping parts: an easy LP-tight part and
adifficult one. For the latter part a combinatorial solver must beused. As we
show in our experiments, in a number of applica-tions the second, difficult part
constitutes only a small fractionof the whole problem. This property allows to
significantlyreduce the computational time of the combinatorial solver andtherefore
solve problems which were out of reach before.'

text: The main result of this article is a generalization of the classical blossom
algorithm for finding perfect matchings. Our algorithm can efficiently solve Boolean
CSPs where each variable appears in exactly two constraints (we call it edge CSP)
and all constraints are even Δ-matroid relations (represented by lists of tuples).
As a consequence of this, we settle the complexity classification of planar Boolean
CSPs started by Dvorak and Kupec. Using a reduction to even Δ-matroids, we then
extend the tractability result to larger classes of Δ-matroids that we call efficiently
coverable. It properly includes classes that were known to be tractable before,
namely, co-independent, compact, local, linear, and binary, with the following
caveat:We represent Δ-matroids by lists of tuples, while the last two use a representation
by matrices. Since an n ×n matrix can represent exponentially many tuples, our
tractability result is not strictly stronger than the known algorithm for linear
and binary Δ-matroids.

text: An N-superconcentrator is a directed, acyclic graph with N input nodes and
N output nodes such that every subset of the inputs and every subset of the outputs
of same cardinality can be connected by node-disjoint paths. It is known that
linear-size and bounded-degree superconcentrators exist. We prove the existence

the number of edges divided by N). The previously best known densities were 28

text: We consider the NP-hard problem of MAP-inference for undirected discrete graphical
models. We propose a polynomial time and practically efficient algorithm for finding
a part of its optimal solution. Specifically, our algorithm marks some labels
of the considered graphical model either as (i) optimal, meaning that they belong
to all optimal solutions of the inference problem; (ii) non-optimal if they provably
do not belong to any solution. With access to an exact solver of a linear programming
relaxation to the MAP-inference problem, our algorithm marks the maximal possible
(in a specified sense) number of labels. We also present a version of the algorithm,
which has access to a suboptimal dual solver only and still can ensure the (non-)optimality
for the marked labels, although the overall number of the marked labels may decrease.
We propose an efficient implementation, which runs in time comparable to a single
run of a suboptimal dual solver. Our method is well-scalable and shows state-of-the-art
results on computational benchmarks from machine learning and computer vision.

text: The main result of this paper is a generalization of the classical blossom
algorithm for finding perfect matchings. Our algorithm can efficiently solve Boolean
CSPs where each variable appears in exactly two constraints (we call it edge CSP)
and all constraints are even Δ-matroid relations (represented by lists of tuples).
As a consequence of this, we settle the complexity classification of planar Boolean
CSPs started by Dvorak and Kupec. Knowing that edge CSP is tractable for even
Δ-matroid constraints allows us to extend the tractability result to a larger
class of Δ-matroids that includes many classes that were known to be tractable
before, namely co-independent, compact, local and binary.

text: We consider the problem of estimating the partition function Z(β)=∑xexp(−β(H(x))
of a Gibbs distribution with a Hamilton H(⋅), or more precisely the logarithm
of the ratio q=lnZ(0)/Z(β). It has been recently shown how to approximate q with
high probability assuming the existence of an oracle that produces samples from
the Gibbs distribution for a given parameter value in [0,β]. The current best
known approach due to Huber [9] uses O(qlnn⋅[lnq+lnlnn+ε−2]) oracle calls on average
where ε is the desired accuracy of approximation and H(⋅) is assumed to lie in
{0}∪[1,n]. We improve the complexity to O(qlnn⋅ε−2) oracle calls. We also show
that the same complexity can be achieved if exact oracles are replaced with approximate
sampling oracles that are within O(ε2qlnn) variation distance from exact oracles.
Finally, we prove a lower bound of Ω(q⋅ε−2) oracle calls under a natural model
of computation.

text: 'We introduce two novel methods for learning parameters of graphical models
for image labelling. The following two tasks underline both methods: (i) perturb
model parameters based on given features and ground truth labelings, so as to
exactly reproduce these labelings as optima of the local polytope relaxation of
the labelling problem; (ii) train a predictor for the perturbed model parameters
so that improved model parameters can be applied to the labelling of novel data.
Our first method implements task (i) by inverse linear programming and task (ii)
using a regressor e.g. a Gaussian process. Our second approach simultaneously
solves tasks (i) and (ii) in a joint manner, while being restricted to linearly
parameterised predictors. Experiments demonstrate the merits of both approaches.'

text: We propose a dual decomposition and linear program relaxation of the NP-hard
minimum cost multicut problem. Unlike other polyhedral relaxations of the multicut
polytope, it is amenable to efficient optimization by message passing. Like other
polyhedral relaxations, it can be tightened efficiently by cutting planes. We
define an algorithm that alternates between message passing and efficient separation
of cycle- and odd-wheel inequalities. This algorithm is more efficient than state-of-the-art
algorithms based on linear programming, including algorithms written in the framework
of leading commercial software, as we show in experiments with large instances
of the problem from applications in computer vision, biomedical image analysis
and data mining.

text: We study the quadratic assignment problem, in computer vision also known as
graph matching. Two leading solvers for this problem optimize the Lagrange decomposition
duals with sub-gradient and dual ascent (also known as message passing) updates.
We explore this direction further and propose several additional Lagrangean relaxations
of the graph matching problem along with corresponding algorithms, which are all
based on a common dual ascent framework. Our extensive empirical evaluation gives
several theoretical insights and suggests a new state-of-the-art anytime solver
for the considered problem. Our improvement over state-of-the-art is particularly
visible on a new dataset with large-scale sparse problem instances containing
more than 500 graph nodes each.

text: We propose a general dual ascent framework for Lagrangean decomposition
of combinatorial problems. Although methods of this type have shown their efficiency
for a number of problems, so far there was no general algorithm applicable to
multiple problem types. In this work, we propose such a general algorithm. It
depends on several parameters, which can be used to optimize its performance in
each particular setting. We demonstrate efficacy of our method on graph matching
and multicut problems, where it outperforms state-of-the-art solvers including
those based on subgradient optimization and off-the-shelf linear programming solvers.

text: An instance of the valued constraint satisfaction problem (VCSP) is given
by a finite set of variables, a finite domain of labels, and a sum of functions,
each function depending on a subset of the variables. Each function can take finite
values specifying costs of assignments of labels to its variables or the infinite
value, which indicates an infeasible assignment. The goal is to find an assignment
of labels to the variables that minimizes the sum. We study, assuming that P 6=
NP, how the complexity of this very general problem depends on the set of functions
allowed in the instances, the so-called constraint language. The case when all
allowed functions take values in f0;1g corresponds to ordinary CSPs, where one
deals only with the feasibility issue, and there is no optimization. This case
is the subject of the algebraic CSP dichotomy conjecture predicting for which
constraint languages CSPs are tractable (i.e., solvable in polynomial time) and
for which they are NP-hard. The case when all allowed functions take only finite
values corresponds to a finitevalued CSP, where the feasibility aspect is trivial
and one deals only with the optimization issue. The complexity of finite-valued
CSPs was fully classified by Thapper and Živný. An algebraic necessary condition
for tractability of a general-valued CSP with a fixed constraint language was
recently given by Kozik and Ochremiak. As our main result, we prove that if a
constraint language satisfies this algebraic necessary condition, and the feasibility
CSP (i.e., the problem of deciding whether a given instance has a feasible solution)
corresponding to the VCSP with this language is tractable, then the VCSP is tractable.
The algorithm is a simple combination of the assumed algorithm for the feasibility
CSP and the standard LP relaxation. As a corollary, we obtain that a dichotomy
for ordinary CSPs would imply a dichotomy for general-valued CSPs.

text: We present a novel convex relaxation and a corresponding inference algorithm
for the non-binary discrete tomography problem, that is, reconstructing discrete-valued
images from few linear measurements. In contrast to state of the art approaches
that split the problem into a continuous reconstruction problem for the linear
measurement constraints and a discrete labeling problem to enforce discrete-valued
reconstructions, we propose a joint formulation that addresses both problems simultaneously,
resulting in a tighter convex relaxation. For this purpose a constrained graphical
model is set up and evaluated using a novel relaxation optimized by dual decomposition.
We evaluate our approach experimentally and show superior solutions both mathematically
(tighter relaxation) and experimentally in comparison to previously proposed relaxations.

text: "An instance of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is given by a finite
set of\r\nvariables, a finite domain of labels, and a set of constraints, each
constraint acting on\r\na subset of the variables. The goal is to find an assignment
of labels to its variables\r\nthat satisfies all constraints (or decide whether
one exists). If we allow more general\r\n“soft” constraints, which come with (possibly
infinite) costs of particular assignments,\r\nwe obtain instances from a richer
class called Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem\r\n(VCSP). There the goal
is to find an assignment with minimum total cost.\r\nIn this thesis, we focus
(assuming that P\r\n6\r\n=\r\nNP) on classifying computational com-\r\nplexity
of CSPs and VCSPs under certain restricting conditions. Two results are the core\r\ncontent
of the work. In one of them, we consider VCSPs parametrized by a constraint\r\nlanguage,
that is the set of “soft” constraints allowed to form the instances, and finish\r\nthe
complexity classification modulo (missing pieces of) complexity classification
for\r\nanalogously parametrized CSP. The other result is a generalization of Edmonds’
perfect\r\nmatching algorithm. This generalization contributes to complexity classfications
in two\r\nways. First, it gives a new (largest known) polynomial-time solvable
class of Boolean\r\nCSPs in which every variable may appear in at most two constraints
and second, it\r\nsettles full classification of Boolean CSPs with planar drawing
(again parametrized by a\r\nconstraint language)."

text: We consider the recent formulation of the Algorithmic Lovász Local Lemma [1],
[2] for finding objects that avoid "bad features", or "flaws".
It extends the Moser-Tardos resampling algorithm [3] to more general discrete
spaces. At each step the method picks a flaw present in the current state and
"resamples" it using a "resampling oracle" provided by the
user. However, it is less flexible than the Moser-Tardos method since [1], [2]
require a specific flaw selection rule, whereas [3] allows an arbitrary rule (and
thus can potentially be implemented more efficiently). We formulate a new "commutativity"
condition, and prove that it is sufficient for an arbitrary rule to work. It also
enables an efficient parallelization under an additional assumption. We then show
that existing resampling oracles for perfect matchings and permutations do satisfy
this condition. Finally, we generalize the precondition in [2] (in the case of
symmetric potential causality graphs). This unifies special cases that previously
were treated separately.

text: 'We study the time-and memory-complexities of the problem of computing labels
of (multiple) randomly selected challenge-nodes in a directed acyclic graph. The
w-bit label of a node is the hash of the labels of its parents, and the hash function
is modeled as a random oracle. Specific instances of this problem underlie both
proofs of space [Dziembowski et al. CRYPTO’15] as well as popular memory-hard
functions like scrypt. As our main tool, we introduce the new notion of a probabilistic
parallel entangled pebbling game, a new type of combinatorial pebbling game on
a graph, which is closely related to the labeling game on the same graph. As a
first application of our framework, we prove that for scrypt, when the underlying
hash function is invoked n times, the cumulative memory complexity (CMC) (a notion
recently introduced by Alwen and Serbinenko (STOC’15) to capture amortized memory-hardness
for parallel adversaries) is at least Ω(w · (n/ log(n))2). This bound holds for
adversaries that can store many natural functions of the labels (e.g., linear
combinations), but still not arbitrary functions thereof. We then introduce and
study a combinatorial quantity, and show how a sufficiently small upper bound
on it (which we conjecture) extends our CMC bound for scrypt to hold against arbitrary
adversaries. We also show that such an upper bound solves the main open problem
for proofs-of-space protocols: namely, establishing that the time complexity of
computing the label of a random node in a graph on n nodes (given an initial kw-bit
state) reduces tightly to the time complexity for black pebbling on the same graph
(given an initial k-node pebbling).'
