In this paper we present a practical solution with performance guarantees to the problem of dimensionality reduction for very large scale sparse matrices. We show applications of our approach to computing the low rank approximation (reduced…
An oblivious subspace embedding is a random $m\times n$ matrix $\Pi$ such that, for any $d$-dimensional subspace, with high probability $\Pi$ preserves the norms of all vectors in that subspace within a $1\pm\epsilon$ factor. In this work,…
Diversity maximization is a fundamental problem in web search and data mining. For a given dataset $S$ of $n$ elements, the problem requires to determine a subset of $S$ containing $k\ll n$ "representatives" which minimize some diversity…
Goemans showed that any $n$ points $x_1, \dotsc x_n$ in $d$-dimensions satisfying $\ell_2^2$ triangle inequalities can be embedded into $\ell_{1}$, with worst-case distortion at most $\sqrt{d}$. We extend this to the case when the points…
Dimensionality reduction is a first step of many machine learning pipelines. Two popular approaches are principal component analysis, which projects onto a small number of well chosen but non-interpretable directions, and feature selection,…
We study the dependence on $\varepsilon$ in the critical dimension $k(n,p,\varepsilon)$ for which one can find random sections of the $\ell_p^n$-ball which are $(1+\varepsilon)$-spherical. We give lower (and upper) estimates for…
We prove that for all $p>1$, every relatively hyperbolic group has $\ell^p$ compression exponent equal to the minimum of the exponents of its maximal parabolic subgroups. Moreover, this embedding can be explicitly described in terms of…
We give a new deterministic construction of integer sensing matrices that can be used for the recovery of integer-valued signals in compressed sensing. This is a family of $n \times d$ integer matrices, $d \geq n$, with bounded sup-norm and…
We study how to construct compressed datasets that suffice to recover optimal decisions in linear programs with an unknown cost vector $c$ lying in a prior set $\mathcal{C}$. Recent work by Bennouna et al. provides an exact geometric…
Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization (\textsf{WDRO}) is a popular model to enhance the robustness of machine learning with ambiguous data. However, the complexity of \textsf{WDRO} can be prohibitive in practice since solving its…
In all state-of-the-art sketching and coreset techniques for clustering, as well as in the best known fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithms, randomness plays a key role. For the classic $k$-median and $k$-means problems, there…
In recent years we have witnessed an increase on the development of methods for submodular optimization, which have been motivated by the wide applicability of submodular functions in real-world data-science problems. In this paper, we…
$(j,k)$-projective clustering is the natural generalization of the family of $k$-clustering and $j$-subspace clustering problems. Given a set of points $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal is to find $k$ flats of dimension $j$, i.e., affine…
In this paper, deterministic construction of measurement matrices in Compressive Sensing (CS) is considered. First, by employing the column replacement concept, a theorem for construction of large minimum distance linear codes containing…
We develop a rigorous framework for deterministic coreset construction in empirical risk minimization (ERM). Our central contribution is the Adaptive Deterministic Uniform-Weight Trimming (ADUWT) algorithm, which constructs a coreset by…
We obtain the first strong coresets for the $k$-median and subspace approximation problems with sum of distances objective function, on $n$ points in $d$ dimensions, with a number of weighted points that is independent of both $n$ and $d$;…
Given a training set $P$ of labeled points, the nearest-neighbor rule predicts the class of an unlabeled query point as the label of its closest point in the set. To improve the time and space complexity of classification, a natural…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\Re^2$. For a parameter $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, a subset $C\subseteq P$ is an \emph{$\varepsilon$-kernel} of $P$ if the projection of the convex hull of $C$ approximates that of $P$ within…
We give a proof of the conjecture of Nelson and Nguyen [FOCS 2013] on the optimal dimension and sparsity of oblivious subspace embeddings, up to sub-polylogarithmic factors: For any $n\geq d$ and $\epsilon\geq d^{-O(1)}$, there is a random…
The dispersion of a point set $P\subset[0,1]^d$ is the volume of the largest box with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, which does not intersect $P$. Here, we show a construction of low-dispersion point sets, which can be deduced from…
