First, for the for the submodular $k$-secretary problem with shortlists [1], we provide a near optimal $1-1/e-\epsilon$ approximation using shortlist of size $O(k poly(1/\epsilon))$. In particular, we improve the size of shortlist used in…
We present an optimal, combinatorial 1-1/e approximation algorithm for monotone submodular optimization over a matroid constraint. Compared to the continuous greedy algorithm (Calinescu, Chekuri, Pal and Vondrak, 2008), our algorithm is…
A common data analysis task is the reduced-rank regression problem: $$\min_{\textrm{rank-}k \ X} \|AX-B\|,$$ where $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times c}$ and $B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ are given large matrices and $\|\cdot\|$ is some norm.…

The problem of approximating a matrix by a low-rank one has been extensively studied. This problem assumes, however, that the whole matrix has a low-rank structure. This assumption is often false for real-world matrices. We consider the…

The computation of the matrix exponential is a ubiquitous operation in numerical mathematics, and for a general, unstructured $n\times n$ matrix it can be computed in $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ operations. An interesting problem arises if the input…
Rank-based zeroth-order (ZO) optimization -- which relies only on the ordering of function evaluations -- offers strong robustness to noise and monotone transformations, and underlies many successful algorithms such as CMA-ES, natural…
This paper presents a weakly intrusive strategy for computing a low-rank approximation of the solution of a system of nonlinear parameter-dependent equations. The proposed strategy relies on a Newton-like iterative solver which only…
In this paper, we study the condition number of a random Toeplitz matrix. Since a Toeplitz matrix is a diagonal constant matrix, its rows or columns cannot be stochastically independent. This situation does not permit us to use the classic…
The paper considers function-valued tensors, viewed as multidimensional arrays with entries in an abstract Hilbert space. Despite the absence of the algebraic structure of a field, the geometric inner-product structure suffices to introduce…
Matrix completion is a problem that arises in many data-analysis settings where the input consists of a partially-observed matrix (e.g., recommender systems, traffic matrix analysis etc.). Classical approaches to matrix completion assume…
In this work, we analyze a sublinear-time algorithm for selecting a few rows and columns of a matrix for low-rank approximation purposes. The algorithm is based on an initial uniformly random selection of rows and columns, followed by a…
The nearest circulant approximation of a real Toeplitz matrix in the Frobenius norm is derived. This matrix is symmetric. It is proven that symmetric circulant matrices are the only real circulant matrices with all real eigenvalues. The…
Exploiting spectral properties of symmetric banded Toeplitz matrices, we describe simple sufficient conditions for positivity of a trigonometric polynomial formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMI) in the coefficients. As an…

The low-rank matrix completion problem can be succinctly stated as follows: given a subset of the entries of a matrix, find a low-rank matrix consistent with the observations. While several low-complexity algorithms for matrix completion…
