NP-Hardness and a Fixed-Parameter Algorithm for Translocation Distance

arXiv:2609.18397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we study the genome rearrangements done by translocation events. Genome rearrangements were used to measure evolutionary distance between organisms since…

Efficient Robust Learning at the Information-Theoretic Limit

arXiv:2609.17655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In an important recent work, Blanc (2026) gave an algorithm for robustly learning Boolean concept classes with respect to a fixed distribution that outputs a (randomized)…

Tight Lower Bounds for Differentially Private Continual Counting

arXiv:2609.17650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Binary Tree Mechanism is a standard algorithm for differentially private continual counting, but its asymptotic optimality under pure differential privacy has remained…

A quantitative tree-likeness bound from average hyperbolicity

arXiv:2609.18023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chatterjee and Sloman proved that a bounded measurable similarity function with sufficiently small average Gromov hyperbolicity admits a tree representation with small…

Breaking the $T^{2/3}$ Barrier for Sequential Calibration

arXiv:2406.13668v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A set of probabilistic forecasts is calibrated if each prediction of the forecaster closely approximates the empirical distribution of outcomes on the subset of…

Serial-batch scheduling to minimise the total weighted late work

arXiv:2609.18046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of scheduling jobs on a serial-batch machine with the aim of minimising the total weighted late work. In a serial-batch setting, jobs within a batch…

A sampling Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma

arXiv:2609.18712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We give an approximately uniform sampler for satisfying assignments of constraint satisfaction problems that satisfy $4\mathrm e p(\Delta+1)^2\le1$, where $p$ is the…
