• Title: Sample Compression Scheme Reductions

We establish similar results for adversarially robust learning and also provide an example of a concept class that is robustly learnable but has no bounded-size compression scheme.

• Abstract: We present novel reductions from sample compression schemes in multiclass classification, regression, and adversarially robust learning settings to binary sample compression schemes. Assuming we have a compression scheme for binary classes of size $f(d_\mathrm{VC})$, where $d_\mathrm{VC}$ is the VC dimension, then we have the following results: (1) If the binary compression scheme is a majority-vote or a stable compression scheme, then there exists a multiclass compression scheme of size $O(f(d_\mathrm{G}))$, where $d_\mathrm{G}$ is the graph dimension. Moreover, for general binary compression schemes, we obtain a compression of size $O(f(d_\mathrm{G})\log|Y|)$, where $Y$ is the label space. (2) If the binary compression scheme is a majority-vote or a stable compression scheme, then there exists an $\epsilon$-approximate compression scheme for regression over $[0,1]$-valued functions of size $O(f(d_\mathrm{P}))$, where $d_\mathrm{P}$ is the pseudo-dimension. For general binary compression schemes, we obtain a compression of size $O(f(d_\mathrm{P})\log(1/\epsilon))$. These results would have significant implications if the sample compression conjecture, which posits that any binary concept class with a finite VC dimension admits a binary compression scheme of size $O(d_\mathrm{VC})$, is resolved (Littlestone and Warmuth, 1986; Floyd and Warmuth, 1995; Warmuth, 2003). Our results would then extend the proof of the conjecture immediately to other settings. We establish similar results for adversarially robust learning and also provide an example of a concept class that is robustly learnable but has no bounded-size compression scheme, demonstrating that learnability is not equivalent to having a compression scheme independent of the sample size, unlike in binary classification, where compression of size $2^{O(d_\mathrm{VC})}$ is attainable (Moran and Yehudayoff, 2016).

  Modern matrices can involve billions of elements, making their storage and processing quite demanding in terms of computational resources and memory usage. We propose an algorithm that exploits this structure to obtain a low rank decomposition of any matrix $mathbfA$ as $mathbfLmathbfR$. We empirically demonstrate the efficacy of our algorithm in image compression, nearest neighbor classification of image and text embeddings, and compressing the layers of LlaMa-$7$b.

• A Unified Framework for Uniform Signal Recovery in Nonlinear Generative Compressed Sensing [68.80803866919123]
  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

• Sample compression schemes for balls in graphs [0.049932093784950796]
  One of the open problems in machine learning is whether any set-family of VC-dimension $d$ admits a sample compression scheme of size $O(d)$. In this paper, we study this problem for balls in graphs. For balls of arbitrary radius $r$, we design proper labeled sample compression schemes of size $2$ for trees, of size $3$ for cycles, of size $4$ for interval graphs, of size $6$ for trees of cycles, and of size $22$ for cube-free median graphs.

  "Partition and Code" framework entails three steps: first, a partitioning algorithm decomposes the graph into elementary structures, then these are mapped to the elements of a small dictionary on which we learn a probability distribution, and finally, an entropy encoder translates the representation into bits. Our algorithms are quantitatively evaluated on diverse real-world networks obtaining significant performance improvements with respect to different families of non-parametric and parametric graph compressor.
