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,…
The need to predict or fill-in missing data, often referred to as matrix completion, is a common challenge in today's data-driven world. Previous strategies typically assume that no structural difference between observed and missing entries…

Matrix completion is the problem of recovering a low rank matrix by observing a small fraction of its entries. A series of recent works [KOM12,JNS13,HW14] have proposed fast non-convex optimization based iterative algorithms to solve this…
Conventional matrix completion methods approximate the missing values by assuming the matrix to be low-rank, which leads to a linear approximation of missing values. It has been shown that enhanced performance could be attained by using…
Matrix completion, the problem of completing missing entries in a data matrix with low dimensional structure (such as rank), has seen many fruitful approaches and analyses. Tensor completion is the tensor analog, that attempts to impute…
Most of the existing works on provable guarantees for low-rank matrix completion algorithms rely on some unrealistic assumptions such that matrix entries are sampled randomly or the sampling pattern has a specific structure. In this work,…

Low-rank modeling has a lot of important applications in machine learning, computer vision and social network analysis. While the matrix rank is often approximated by the convex nuclear norm, the use of nonconvex low-rank regularizers has…
In this paper, we investigate the generalized low rank approximation to the symmetric positive semidefinite matrix in the Frobenius norm: $$\underset{ rank(X)\leq k}{\min} \sum^m_{i=1}\left \Vert A_i - B_i XB_i^T \right \Vert^2_F,$$ where…
In this note, we investigate how well we can reconstruct the best rank-$r$ approximation of a large matrix from a small number of its entries. We show that even if a data matrix is of full rank and cannot be approximated well by a low-rank…
Recovering a low rank matrix from a subset of its entries, some of which may be corrupted, is known as the robust matrix completion (RMC) problem. Existing RMC methods have several limitations: they require a relatively large number of…
