The Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform is a fundamental method for dimension reduction in Euclidean spaces, that can map any dataset of $n$ points into dimension $O(\log n)$ with low distortion of their distances. This dimension bound is tight…

For any integers $d, n \geq 2$ and $1/({\min\{n,d\}})^{0.4999} < \varepsilon<1$, we show the existence of a set of $n$ vectors $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ such that any embedding $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ satisfying $$ \forall x,y\in X,\…

We give near-tight lower bounds for the sparsity required in several dimensionality reducing linear maps. First, consider the JL lemma which states that for any set of n vectors in R there is a matrix A in R^{m x d} with m = O(eps^{-2}log…

In this paper we make a novel use of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma. The Lemma has an existential form saying that there exists a JL transformation $f$ of the data points into lower dimensional space such that all of them fall into…

The weighted Euclidean norm $\|x\|_w$ of a vector $x\in \mathbb{R}^d$ with weights $w\in \mathbb{R}^d$ is the Euclidean norm where the contribution of each dimension is scaled by a given weight. Approaches to dimensionality reduction that…
