We give two different and simple constructions for dimensionality reduction in $\ell_2$ via linear mappings that are sparse: only an $O(\varepsilon)$-fraction of entries in each column of our embedding matrices are non-zero to achieve…

The Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma (J-L Lemma) is a cornerstone of dimension reduction techniques. We study it in the one-bit context, namely we consider the unit sphere $ \mathbb S ^{N-1}$, with normalized geodesic metric, and map a finite…

The celebrated Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma states that for all $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$ and finite sets $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ with $n>1$ elements, there exists a matrix $\Phi \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times N}$ with…

Metric embedding has become a common technique in the design of algorithms. Its applicability is often dependent on how high the embedding's distortion is. For example, embedding finite metric space into trees may require linear distortion…

A classical result of Johnson and Lindenstrauss states that a set of $n$ high dimensional data points can be projected down to $O(\log n/\epsilon^2)$ dimensions such that the square of their pairwise distances is preserved up to a small…

In this short note, we prove a version of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss flattening Lemma for point sets taking values in discrete subgroups. More precisely, given $d,\lambda_0,N_0\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\epsilon\in \left(0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$…

Metric embeddings into structured spaces, particularly hierarchically well-separated trees (HSTs), are a fundamental tool in the design of online algorithms. In the classical online embedding setting, points arrive sequentially and must be…

In the recent paper [Jin, Kolda & Ward, arXiv:1909.04801], it is proved that the Kronecker fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform (KFJLT) is, in fact, a Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform, which had previously only been conjectured. In this…

There is recent interest in compressing data sets for non-sequential settings, where lack of obvious orderings on their data space, require notions of data equivalences to be considered. For example, Varshney & Goyal (DCC, 2006) considered…

This paper analyzes circulant Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) embeddings which, as an important class of structured random JL embeddings, are formed by randomizing the column signs of a circulant matrix generated by a random vector. With the…

Random projections are random linear maps, sampled from appropriate distributions, that approx- imately preserve certain geometrical invariants so that the approximation improves as the dimension of the space grows. The well-known…

The goal of ordinal embedding is to represent items as points in a low-dimensional Euclidean space given a set of constraints in the form of distance comparisons like "item $i$ is closer to item $j$ than item $k$". Ordinal constraints like…

The declustering problem is to allocate given data on parallel working storage devices in such a manner that typical requests find their data evenly distributed on the devices. Using deep results from discrepancy theory, we improve previous…

Why does the low dimensionality of representations, typically $d\approx 1000$, not prevent modern embedding-based retrieval models from scaling to billions, or even trillions, of data points? To answer this question, we study maximal-margin…

Johnson and Lindenstrauss (Contemporary Mathematics, 1984) showed that for $n > m$, a scaled random projection $\mathbf{A}$ from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$ is an approximate isometry on any set $S$ of size at most exponential in $m$.…
