The sparse regression problem, also known as best subset selection problem, can be cast as follows: Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a point $y\in \mathbb{R}^d$, and an integer $2 \leq k \leq d$, find an affine combination…

For a tall $n\times d$ matrix $A$ and a random $m\times n$ sketching matrix $S$, the sketched estimate of the inverse covariance matrix $(A^\top A)^{-1}$ is typically biased: $E[(\tilde A^\top\tilde A)^{-1}]\ne(A^\top A)^{-1}$, where…
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have been widely used for interpretability of neural networks, but their learned features often vary across seeds and hyperparameter settings. We introduce Ordered Sparse Autoencoders (OSAE), which extend…
An $\ell_p$ oblivious subspace embedding is a distribution over $r \times n$ matrices $\Pi$ such that for any fixed $n \times d$ matrix $A$, $$\Pr_{\Pi}[\textrm{for all }x, \ \|Ax\|_p \leq \|\Pi Ax\|_p \leq \kappa \|Ax\|_p] \geq 9/10,$$…
