Faster Algorithms for Sparse ILP and Hypergraph Multi-Packing/Multi-Cover Problems

In our paper, we consider the following general problems: check feasibility, count the number of feasible solutions, find an optimal solution, and count the number of optimal solutions in $P \cap Z^n$, assuming that $P$ is a polyhedron, defined by systems $A x \leq b$ or $Ax = b,\, x \geq 0$ with a sparse matrix $A$. We develop algorithms for these problems that outperform state of the art ILP and counting algorithms on sparse instances with bounded elements. We use known and new methods to develop new exponential algorithms for Edge/Vertex Multi-Packing/Multi-Cover Problems on graphs and hypergraphs. This framework consists of many different problems, such as the Stable Multi-set, Vertex Multi-cover, Dominating Multi-set, Set Multi-cover, Multi-set Multi-cover, and Hypergraph Multi-matching problems, which are natural generalizations of the standard Stable Set, Vertex Cover, Dominating Set, Set Cover, and Maximal Matching problems.

Linear and Fisher Separability of Random Points in the d-dimensional Spherical Layer

Stochastic separation theorems play important role in high-dimensional data analysis and machine learning. It turns out that in high dimension any point of a random set of points can be separated from other points by a hyperplane with high probability even if the number of points is exponential in terms of dimension. This and similar facts can be used for constructing correctors for artificial intelligent systems, for determining an intrinsic dimension of data and for explaining various natural intelligence phenomena. In this paper, we refine the estimations for the number of points and for the probability in stochastic separation theorems, thereby strengthening some results obtained earlier. We propose the boundaries for linear and Fisher separability, when the points are drawn randomly, independently and uniformly from a $d$-dimensional spherical layer. These results allow us to better outline the applicability limits of the stochastic separation theorems in applications.

Evolutionary algorithms for constructing an ensemble of decision trees

Most decision tree induction algorithms are based on a greedy top-down recursive partitioning strategy for tree growth. In this paper, we propose several methods for induction of decision trees and their ensembles based on evolutionary algorithms. The main difference of our approach is using real-valued vector representation of decision tree that allows to use a large number of different optimization algorithms, as well as optimize the whole tree or ensemble for avoiding local optima. Differential evolution and evolution strategies were chosen as optimization algorithms, as they have good results in reinforcement learning problems. We test the predictive performance of this methods using several public UCI data sets, and the proposed methods show better quality than classical methods.

Deep Learning for ECG Segmentation

We propose an algorithm for electrocardiogram (ECG) segmentation using a UNet-like full-convolutional neural network. The algorithm receives an arbitrary sampling rate ECG signal as an input, and gives a list of onsets and offsets of P and T waves and QRS complexes as output. Our method of segmentation differs from others in speed, a small number of parameters and a good generalization: it is adaptive to different sampling rates and it is generalized to various types of ECG monitors. The proposed approach is superior to other state-of-the-art segmentation methods in terms of quality. In particular, F1-measures for detection of onsets and offsets of P and T waves and for QRS-complexes are at least 97.8%, 99.5%, and 99.9%, respectively.
