We give an algorithm that generates a uniformly random contingency table with specified marginals, i.e. a matrix with non-negative integer values and specified row and column sums. Such algorithms are useful in statistics and combinatorics.…
Can the behavior of a random matrix be improved by modifying a small fraction of its entries? Consider a random matrix $A$ with i.i.d. entries. We show that the operator norm of $A$ can be reduced to the optimal order $O(\sqrt{n})$ by…
Different from a typical independent identically distributed (IID) element assumption, this paper studies the estimation of IID row random matrix for the generalized linear model constructed by a linear mixing space and a row-wise mapping…
We consider the set Sigma(R,C) of all mxn matrices having 0-1 entries and prescribed row sums R=(r_1, ..., r_m) and column sums C=(c_1, ..., c_n). We prove an asymptotic estimate for the cardinality |Sigma(R, C)| via the solution to a…
Random matrix theory has become a widely useful tool in high-dimensional statistics and theoretical machine learning. However, random matrix theory is largely focused on the proportional asymptotics in which the number of columns grows…
Low-rank matrix recovery addresses the problem of recovering an unknown low-rank matrix from few linear measurements. Nuclear-norm minimization is a tractible approach with a recent surge of strong theoretical backing. Analagous to the…
We study block-diagonal random matrices with i.i.d. subexponential entries and show that, despite their highly structured form, they already guarantee exact sparse recovery from a nearly optimal number of measurements. When the matrix…
Originally developed for imputing missing entries in low rank, or approximately low rank matrices, matrix completion has proven widely effective in many problems where there is no reason to assume low-dimensional linear structure in the…
Sparse recovery is one of the most fundamental and well-studied inverse problems. Standard statistical formulations of the problem are provably solved by general convex programming techniques and more practical, fast (nearly-linear time)…
In this work, we address the longstanding puzzle that Sliced Inverse Regression (SIR) often performs poorly for sufficient dimension reduction when the structural dimension $d$ (the dimension of the central space) exceeds 4. We first show…
We consider two theorems from the theory of compressive sensing. Mainly a theorem concerning uniform recovery of random sampling matrices, where the number of samples needed in order to recover an $s$-sparse signal from linear measurements…
Let $\mathbf{A}$ be an $n\times n$-matrix over $\mathbb{F}_2$ whose every entry equals $1$ with probability $d/n$ independently for a fixed $d>0$. Draw a vector $\mathbf{y}$ randomly from the column space of $\mathbf{A}$. It is a simple…
It follows from Grothendieck's little inequality that to any complex (m x n) matrix X of column norm at most 1, and an 0 <e <1, there exist a natural number q, an (m x q) matrix C with $(1-e)^2 \leq CC^* \leq (4/\pi) (1 + e)^2$ and an (q x…
A novel matrix approximation problem is considered herein: observations based on a few fully sampled columns and quasi-polynomial structural side information are exploited. The framework is motivated by quantum chemistry problems wherein…
Classical results in sparse recovery guarantee the exact reconstruction of $s$-sparse signals under assumptions on the dictionary that are either too strong or NP-hard to check. Moreover, such results may be pessimistic in practice since…
When the linear measurements of an instance of low-rank matrix recovery satisfy a restricted isometry property (RIP)---i.e. they are approximately norm-preserving---the problem is known to contain no spurious local minima, so exact recovery…
We introduce a two step algorithm with theoretical guarantees to recover a jointly sparse and low-rank matrix from undersampled measurements of its columns. The algorithm first estimates the row subspace of the matrix using a set of common…
We study the problem of recovering an incomplete $m\times n$ matrix of rank $r$ with columns arriving online over time. This is known as the problem of life-long matrix completion, and is widely applied to recommendation system, computer…
This paper is concerned with estimating the column space of an unknown low-rank matrix $\boldsymbol{A}^{\star}\in\mathbb{R}^{d_{1}\times d_{2}}$, given noisy and partial observations of its entries. There is no shortage of scenarios where…
In matrix-valued datasets the sampled matrices often exhibit correlations among both their rows and their columns. A useful and parsimonious model of such dependence is the matrix normal model, in which the covariances among the elements of…
