• Abstract: Graph sparsification serves as a foundation for many algorithms, such as approximation algorithms for graph cuts and Laplacian system solvers. As its natural generalization, hypergraph sparsification has recently gained increasing attention, with broad applications in graph machine learning and other areas. In this work, we propose the first quantum algorithm for hypergraph sparsification, addressing an open problem proposed by Apers and de Wolf (FOCS'20). For a weighted hypergraph with $n$ vertices, $m$ hyperedges, and rank $r$, our algorithm outputs a near-linear size $\varepsilon$-spectral sparsifier in time $\widetilde O(r\sqrt{mn}/\varepsilon)$. This algorithm matches the quantum lower bound for constant $r$ and demonstrates quantum speedup when compared with the state-of-the-art $\widetilde O(mr)$-time classical algorithm. As applications, our algorithm implies quantum speedups for computing hypergraph cut sparsifiers, approximating hypergraph mincuts and hypergraph $s$-$t$ mincuts.

We consider detecting the presence of a planted $Gr(ngamma, n-alpha)$ subhypergraph in a $Gr(n, n-beta) hypergraph. Our results are already new in the graph case $r=2$, as we consider the subtle log-density regime where hardness based on average-case reductions is not known.

  In this paper, we establish an efficient online sub-sampling framework that measures the information gain of data points collected by an RL algorithm. For a value-based method with complexity-bounded function class, we show that the policy only needs to be updated for $proptooperatornamepolylog(K)$ times. In contrast to existing approaches that update the policy for at least $Omega(K)$ times, our approach drastically reduces the number of optimization calls in solving for a policy.
