We study the low rank approximation problem of any given matrix $A$ over $\mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$ and $\mathbb{C}^{n\times m}$ in entry-wise $\ell_p$ loss, that is, finding a rank-$k$ matrix $X$ such that $\|A-X\|_p$ is minimized. Unlike…
We consider the uniform approximation of the smallest eigenvalue of a large parameter-dependent Hermitian matrix by that of a smaller counterpart obtained through projections. The projection subspaces are constructed iteratively by means of…
In this paper we present a new bound obtained with the probabilistic method for the solution of the Set Covering problem with unit costs. The bound is valid for problems of fixed dimension, thus extending previous similar asymptotic…
We give a deterministic 2^{O(n)} algorithm for computing an M-ellipsoid of a convex body, matching a known lower bound. This has several interesting consequences including improved deterministic algorithms for volume estimation of convex…
Several fundamental problems that arise in optimization and computer science can be cast as follows: Given vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_m \in \mathbb{R}^d$ and a constraint family ${\cal B}\subseteq 2^{[m]}$, find a set $S \in \cal{B}$ that…
We propose a novel polyhedral uncertainty set for robust optimization, termed the smooth uncertainty set, which captures dependencies of uncertain parameters by constraining their pairwise differences. The bounds on these differences may be…
High computational costs of manifold learning prohibit its application for large point sets. A common strategy to overcome this problem is to perform dimensionality reduction on selected landmarks and to successively embed the entire…
We describe a dynamic programming algorithm for exact counting and exact uniform sampling of matrices with specified row and column sums. The algorithm runs in polynomial time when the column sums are bounded. Binary or non-negative integer…
An algorithm is described that enables efficient deterministic approximate computation of the bootstrap distribution for any linear bootstrap method $T_n^*$, alleviating the need for repeated resampling from observations (resp.…
We study the matrix completion problem when the observation pattern is deterministic and possibly non-uniform. We propose a simple and efficient debiased projection scheme for recovery from noisy observations and analyze the error under a…
Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…
Low-rank matrix approximations are often used to help scale standard machine learning algorithms to large-scale problems. Recently, matrix coherence has been used to characterize the ability to extract global information from a subset of…
We consider the following problem: Given a matrix A, find minimal subsets of columns of A with cardinality no larger than a given bound that are linear dependent or nearly so. This problem arises in various forms in optimization, electrical…
Given (orthonormal) approximations $\tilde{U}$ and $\tilde{V}$ to the left and right subspaces spanned by the leading singular vectors of a matrix $A$, we discuss methods to approximate the leading singular values of $A$ and study their…
In this note we give an example application of a recently presented predictive learning method called Rule Ensembles. The application we present is the search for super-symmetric particles at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we…
This paper describes an algorithm which computes the characteristic polynomial of a matrix over a field within the same asymptotic complexity, up to constant factors, as the multiplication of two square matrices. Previously, this was only…
We investigate the maximal size of distinguished submatrices of a Gaussian random matrix. Of interest are submatrices whose entries have average greater than or equal to a positive constant, and submatrices whose entries are well-fit by a…
We study matricial approximations of master fields we constructed in a previous work. These approximations (in non-commutative distribution) are obtained by extracting blocks of a Brownian unitary diffusion (with entries in $\mathbb{R},…
In this paper, we consider the problem of finding a maximum cardinality subset of vectors, given a constraint on the normalized squared length of vectors sum. This problem is closely related to Problem 1 from (Eremeev, Kel'manov, Pyatkin,…
This paper examines the problem of locating outlier columns in a large, otherwise low-rank matrix, in settings where {}{the data} are noisy, or where the overall matrix has missing elements. We propose a randomized two-step inference…
