Matrix completion is a problem that arises in many data-analysis settings where the input consists of a partially-observed matrix (e.g., recommender systems, traffic matrix analysis etc.). Classical approaches to matrix completion assume…
The completion of low rank matrices from few entries is a task with many practical applications. We consider here two aspects of this problem: detectability, i.e. the ability to estimate the rank $r$ reliably from the fewest possible random…
We study the completion of approximately low rank matrices with entries missing not at random (MNAR). In the context of typical large-dimensional statistical settings, we establish a framework for the performance analysis of the nuclear…
Given a matrix A \in R^{m x n}, we present a randomized algorithm that sparsifies A by retaining some of its elements by sampling them according to a distribution that depends on both the square and the absolute value of the entries. We…
We prove that for any real-valued matrix $X \in \R^{m \times n}$, and positive integers $r \ge k$, there is a subset of $r$ columns of $X$ such that projecting $X$ onto their span gives a $\sqrt{\frac{r+1}{r-k+1}}$-approximation to best…
Matrices with low-rank structure are ubiquitous in scientific computing. Choosing an appropriate rank is a key step in many computational algorithms that exploit low-rank structure. However, estimating the rank has been done largely in an…
In many applications, it is of interest to approximate data, given by mxn matrix A, by a matrix B of at most rank k, which is much smaller than m and n. The best approximation is given by singular value decomposition, which is too time…
We describe several algorithms for matrix completion and matrix approximation when only some of its entries are known. The approximation constraint can be any whose approximated solution is known for the full matrix. For low rank…

An incoherent low-rank matrix can be efficiently reconstructed after observing a few of its entries at random, and then solving a convex program that minimizes the nuclear norm. In many applications, in addition to these entries,…
