Low-rank matrix completion is an important problem with extensive real-world applications. When observations are uniformly sampled from the underlying matrix entries, existing methods all require the matrix to be incoherent. This paper…
Most recent results in matrix completion assume that the matrix under consideration is low-rank or that the columns are in a union of low-rank subspaces. In real-world settings, however, the linear structure underlying these models is…
We study the problem of exact completion for $m \times n$ sized matrix of rank $r$ with the adaptive sampling method. We introduce a relation of the exact completion problem with the sparsest vector of column and row spaces (which we call…
In this paper, we introduce the first method that (1) can complete kernel matrices with completely missing rows and columns as opposed to individual missing kernel values, (2) does not require any of the kernels to be complete a priori, and…
We describe several algorithms for matrix completion and matrix approximation when only some of its entries are known. The approximation constraint can be any whose approximated solution is known for the full matrix. For low rank…
We investigate the problem of completing partial matrices to rank-one matrices in the standard simplex. The motivation for studying this problem comes from statistics: A lack of eligible completion can provide a falsification test for…
Techniques of matrix completion aim to impute a large portion of missing entries in a data matrix through a small portion of observed ones. In practice including collaborative filtering, prior information and special structures are usually…

Matrix completion, the problem of completing missing entries in a data matrix with low dimensional structure (such as rank), has seen many fruitful approaches and analyses. Tensor completion is the tensor analog, that attempts to impute…
Bayesian methods for low-rank matrix completion with noise have been shown to be very efficient computationally. While the behaviour of penalized minimization methods is well understood both from the theoretical and computational points of…
