While the problem of approximate nearest neighbor search has been well-studied for Euclidean space and $\ell_1$, few non-trivial algorithms are known for $\ell_p$ when ($2 < p < \infty$). In this paper, we revisit this fundamental problem…

Given a data matrix $X \in R^{n\times d}$ and a response vector $y \in R^{n}$, suppose $n>d$, it costs $O(n d^2)$ time and $O(n d)$ space to solve the least squares regression (LSR) problem. When $n$ and $d$ are both large, exactly solving…

Adversarial attacks against deep neural networks are commonly constructed under $\ell_p$ norm constraints, most often using $p=1$, $p=2$ or $p=\infty$, and potentially regularized for specific demands such as sparsity or smoothness. These…

We consider the problem of approximating a function in general nonlinear subsets of $L^2$ when only a weighted Monte Carlo estimate of the $L^2$-norm can be computed. Of particular interest in this setting is the concept of sample…

Function values are, in some sense, "almost as good" as general linear information for $L_2$-approximation (optimal recovery, data assimilation) of functions from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. This was recently proved by new upper…

An $\ell_p$ oblivious subspace embedding is a distribution over $r \times n$ matrices $\Pi$ such that for any fixed $n \times d$ matrix $A$, $$\Pr_{\Pi}[\textrm{for all }x, \ \|Ax\|_p \leq \|\Pi Ax\|_p \leq \kappa \|Ax\|_p] \geq 9/10,$$…
