When applying principal component analysis (PCA) for dimension reduction, the most varying projections are usually used in order to retain most of the information. For the purpose of anomaly and change detection, however, the least varying…

We give a proof of the conjecture of Nelson and Nguyen [FOCS 2013] on the optimal dimension and sparsity of oblivious subspace embeddings, up to sub-polylogarithmic factors: For any $n\geq d$ and $\epsilon\geq d^{-O(1)}$, there is a random…
Typical dimension reduction techniques for nonoverlapping sparse optimization involve screening or sieving strategies based on a dual certificate derived from the first-order optimality condition, approximating the gradients or exploiting…
