We present a sublinear randomized algorithm to compute a sparse Fourier transform for nonequispaced data. Suppose a signal S is known to consist of N equispaced samples, of which only L<N are available. If the ratio p=L/N is not close to 1,…
A refinement of so-called fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform, due to Ailon and Chazelle (2006), and Matou\v{s}ek (2008), is proposed. While it preserves the time efficiency and simplicity of implementation of the original construction, it…

Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression emerged as an alternative to ordinary least squares for addressing multicollinearity in a wide range of scientific applications. As multidimensional tensor data is becoming more widespread, tensor…
Low-distortion embeddings are critical building blocks for developing random sampling and random projection algorithms for linear algebra problems. We show that, given a matrix $A \in \R^{n \times d}$ with $n \gg d$ and a $p \in [1, 2)$,…
In this paper, we propose a unified algorithmic framework for solving many known variants of \mds. Our algorithm is a simple iterative scheme with guaranteed convergence, and is \emph{modular}; by changing the internals of a single…
The paper re-analyzes a version of the celebrated Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma, in which matrices are subjected to constraints that naturally emerge from neuroscience applications: a) sparsity and b) sign-consistency. This particular variant…
Dimensionality reduction-based dictionary learning methods in the literature have often used iterative random projections. The dimensionality of such a random projection matrix is a random number that might not lead to a separable subspace…
We develop theoretical results that establish a connection across various regression methods such as the non-negative least squares, bounded variable least squares, simplex constrained least squares, and lasso. In particular, we show in…
We use lookup tables to design faster algorithms for important algebraic problems over finite fields. These faster algorithms, which only use arithmetic operations and lookup table operations, may help to explain the difficulty of…
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 $\epsilon\in \left(0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$…
In this work, we analyze dimension reduction algorithms based on the Kac walk and discrete variants. (1) For $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, we design an optimal Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) transform based on the Kac walk which can be…
In this paper new general modewise Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) subspace embeddings are proposed that are both considerably faster to generate and easier to store than traditional JL embeddings when working with extremely large vectors and/or…
We present the Fast Newton Transform (FNT), an algorithm for performing $m$-variate Newton interpolation in downward closed polynomial spaces with time complexity $\mathcal{O}(|A|m\overline{n})$. Here, $A$ is a downward closed set of…
The $l_2$ flattening lemma of Johnson and Lindenstrauss [JL84] is a powerful tool for dimension reduction. It has been conjectured that the target dimension bounds can be refined and bounded in terms of the intrinsic dimensionality of the…
The distance set $\Delta(E)$ of a set $E$ consists of all non-negative numbers that represent distances between pairs of points in $E$. This paper studies sparse (less than full-dimensional) Borel sets in $\mathbb R^d$, $d \geq 2$ with a…
We consider the problem of querying a string (or, a database) of length $N$ bits to determine all the locations where a substring (query) of length $M$ appears either exactly or is within a Hamming distance of $K$ from the query. We assume…
We consider the problem of computing the Walsh-Hadamard Transform (WHT) of some $N$-length input vector in the presence of noise, where the $N$-point Walsh spectrum is $K$-sparse with $K = {O}(N^{\delta})$ scaling sub-linearly in the input…
