Reconstructing continuous signals from a small number of discrete samples is a fundamental problem across science and engineering. In practice, we are often interested in signals with simple Fourier structure, such as bandlimited, multiband, and Fourier sparse signals. More broadly, any prior knowledge about a signals Fourier power spectrum can constrain its complexity. Intuitively, signals with more highly constrained Fourier structure require fewer samples to reconstruct. We formalize this intuition by showing that, roughly, a continuous signal from a given class can be approximately reconstructed using a number of samples proportional to the *statistical dimension* of the allowed power spectrum of that class. Further, in nearly all settings, this natural measure tightly characterizes the sample complexity of signal reconstruction. Surprisingly, we also show that, up to logarithmic factors, a universal non-uniform sampling strategy can achieve this optimal complexity for *any class of signals*. We present a simple and efficient algorithm for recovering a signal from the samples taken. For bandlimited and sparse signals, our method matches the state-of-the-art. At the same time, it gives the first computationally and sample efficient solution to a broad range of problems, including multiband signal reconstruction and kriging and Gaussian process regression tasks in one dimension. Our work is based on a novel connection between randomized linear algebra and signal reconstruction with constrained Fourier structure. We extend tools based on statistical leverage score sampling and column-based matrix reconstruction to the approximation of continuous linear operators that arise in signal reconstruction. We believe that these extensions are of independent interest and serve as a foundation for tackling a broad range of continuous time problems using randomized methods.

We show that Transformer encoder architectures can be sped up, with limited accuracy costs, by replacing the self-attention sublayers with simple linear transformations that mix input tokens. These linear mixers, along with standard nonlinearities in feed-forward layers, prove competent at modeling semantic relationships in several text classification tasks. Most surprisingly, we find that replacing the self-attention sublayer in a Transformer encoder with a standard, unparameterized Fourier Transform achieves 92-97% of the accuracy of BERT counterparts on the GLUE benchmark, but trains 80% faster on GPUs and 70% faster on TPUs at standard 512 input lengths. At longer input lengths, our FNet model is significantly faster: when compared to the efficient Transformers on the Long Range Arena benchmark, FNet matches the accuracy of the most accurate models, while outpacing the fastest models across all sequence lengths on GPUs (and across relatively shorter lengths on TPUs). Finally, FNet has a light memory footprint and is particularly efficient at smaller model sizes; for a fixed speed and accuracy budget, small FNet models outperform Transformer counterparts.

We describe a simple algorithm for sampling $n$-qubit Clifford operators uniformly at random. The algorithm outputs the Clifford operators in the form of quantum circuits with at most $5n + 2n^2$ elementary gates and a maximum depth of $mathcal{O}(nlog n)$ on fully connected topologies. The circuit can be output in a streaming fashion as the algorithm proceeds, and different parts of the circuit can be generated in parallel. The algorithm has an $mathcal{O}(n^2)$ time complexity, which matches the current state of the art. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm, however, lies in its simplicity and elementary derivation.
To understand, predict, and control complex networked systems, a prerequisite is to reconstruct the network structure from observable data. Despite recent progress in network reconstruction, binary-state dynamics that are ubiquitous in nature, technology and society still present an outstanding challenge in this field. Here we offer a framework for reconstructing complex networks with binary-state dynamics by developing a universal data-based linearization approach that is applicable to systems with linear, nonlinear, discontinuous, or stochastic dynamics governed by monotonous functions. The linearization procedure enables us to convert the network reconstruction into a sparse signal reconstruction problem that can be resolved through convex optimization. We demonstrate generally high reconstruction accuracy for a number of complex networks associated with distinct binary-state dynamics from using binary data contaminated by noise and missing data. Our framework is completely data driven, efficient and robust, and does not require any a priori knowledge about the detailed dynamical process on the network. The framework represents a general paradigm for reconstructing, understanding, and exploiting complex networked systems with binary-state dynamics.
In the subgraph counting problem, we are given a input graph $G(V, E)$ and a target graph $H$; the goal is to estimate the number of occurrences of $H$ in $G$. Our focus here is on designing sublinear-time algorithms for approximately counting occurrences of $H$ in $G$ in the setting where the algorithm is given query access to $G$. This problem has been studied in several recent papers which primarily focused on specific families of graphs $H$ such as triangles, cliques, and stars. However, not much is known about approximate counting of arbitrary graphs $H$. This is in sharp contrast to the closely related subgraph enumeration problem that has received significant attention in the database community as the database join problem. The AGM bound shows that the maximum number of occurrences of any arbitrary subgraph $H$ in a graph $G$ with $m$ edges is $O(m^{rho(H)})$, where $rho(H)$ is the fractional edge-cover of $H$, and enumeration algorithms with matching runtime are known for any $H$. We bridge this gap between subgraph counting and subgraph enumeration by designing a sublinear-time algorithm that can estimate the number of any arbitrary subgraph $H$ in $G$, denoted by $#H$, to within a $(1pm epsilon)$-approximation w.h.p. in $O(frac{m^{rho(H)}}{#H}) cdot poly(log{n},1/epsilon)$ time. Our algorithm is allowed the standard set of queries for general graphs, namely degree queries, pair queries and neighbor queries, plus an additional edge-sample query that returns an edge chosen uniformly at random. The performance of our algorithm matches those of Eden et.al. [FOCS 2015, STOC 2018] for counting triangles and cliques and extend them to all choices of subgraph $H$ under the additional assumption of edge-sample queries. We further show that our algorithm works for the more general database join size estimation problem and prove a matching lower bound for this problem.

Spatial Semantic Pointers (SSPs) have recently emerged as a powerful tool for representing and transforming continuous space, with numerous applications to cognitive modelling and deep learning. Fundamental to SSPs is the notion of similarity between vectors representing different points in $n$-dimensional space -- typically the dot product or cosine similarity between vectors with rotated unit-length complex coefficients in the Fourier domain. The similarity measure has previously been conjectured to be a Gaussian function of Euclidean distance. Contrary to this conjecture, we derive a simple trigonometric formula relating spatial displacement to similarity, and prove that, in the case where the Fourier coefficients are uniform i.i.d., the expected similarity is a product of normalized sinc functions: $prod_{k=1}^{n} operatorname{sinc} left( a_k right)$, where $mathbf{a} in mathbb{R}^n$ is the spatial displacement between the two $n$-dimensional points. This establishes a direct link between space and the similarity of SSPs, which in turn helps bolster a useful mathematical framework for architecting neural networks that manipulate spatial structures.
