Lower Bounds on the Sample Complexity of Exploration in the Multi-armed Bandit Problem
We consider the Multi-armed bandit problem under the PAC (“probably approximately correct”) model. It was shown by Even-Dar et al. [5] that given n arms, it suffices to play th...

Betweenness Centrality : Algorithms and Lower Bounds
One of the most fundamental problems in large-scale network analysis is to determine the importance of a particular node in a network. Betweenness centrality is the most widely us...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Lower bounds for graph embeddings and combinatorial preconditioners
Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...

Higher Lower Bounds for Near-Neighbor and Further Rich Problems
We convert cell-probe lower bounds for polynomial space into stronger lower bounds for near-linear space. Our technique applies to any lower bound proved through the richness meth...
