We describe stochastic Newton and stochastic quasi-Newton approaches to efficiently solve large linear least-squares problems where the very large data sets present a significant computational burden (e.g., the size may exceed computer…
We introduce truncation ideals of a $\Bbbk$-linear unitary symmetric operad and use them to study ideal structure, growth property and to classify operads of low Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.
We study an optimization problem related to the approximation of given data by a linear combination of transformed modes. In the simplest case, the optimization problem reduces to a minimization problem well-studied in the context of proper…
In this work, we study the $k$-means cost function. Given a dataset $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and an integer $k$, the goal of the Euclidean $k$-means problem is to find a set of $k$ centers $C \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $\Phi(C, X)…

In the paper we introduce the truncated variation, upward truncated variation and downward truncated variation. These are closely related to the total variation but are well-defined even if the latter is infinite. Our aim is to explore…
In the covariate shift learning scenario, the training and test covariate distributions differ, so that a predictor's average loss over the training and test distributions also differ. In this work, we explore the potential of extreme…

In this work, we describe advanced numerical tools for working with multivariate functions and for the analysis of large data sets. These tools will drastically reduce the required computing time and the storage cost, and, therefore, will…
In this paper, we show that the approximation of high-dimensional functions, which are effectively low-dimensional, does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality. This is shown first in a general reproducing kernel Hilbert space set-up…
The next generation of large scale surveys will not only measure cosmological parameters within the framework of General Relativity, but will also allow for precision tests of the framework itself. At the order of linear perturbations,…
Value functions arise as a component of algorithms as well as performance metrics in statistics and engineering applications. Computation of the associated Bellman equations is numerically challenging in all but a few special cases. A…
The Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) Lemma introduced the concept of dimension reduction via a random linear map, which has become a fundamental technique in many computational settings. For a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and any fixed…
In this paper, we propose new randomization based algorithms for large scale linear discrete ill-posed problems with general-form regularization: ${\min} \|Lx\|$ subject to ${\min} \|Ax - b\|$, where $L$ is a regularization matrix. Our…
We consider the problem of solving mixed random linear equations with $k$ components. This is the noiseless setting of mixed linear regression. The goal is to estimate multiple linear models from mixed samples in the case where the labels…
The total variation distance is a metric of central importance in statistics and probability theory. However, somewhat surprisingly, questions about computing it algorithmically appear not to have been systematically studied until very…
Our model is a generalized linear programming relaxation of a much studied random K-SAT problem. Specifically, a set of linear constraints C on K variables is fixed. From a pool of n variables, K variables are chosen uniformly at random and…
