Sketching, a dimensionality reduction technique, has received much attention in the statistics community. In this paper, we study sketching in the context of Newton's method for solving finite-sum optimization problems in which the number…

Preventing catastrophic forgetting while continually learning new tasks is an essential problem in lifelong learning. Structural regularization (SR) refers to a family of algorithms that mitigate catastrophic forgetting by penalizing the…

Among randomized numerical linear algebra strategies, so-called sketching procedures are emerging as effective reduction means to accelerate the computation of Krylov subspace methods for, e.g., the solution of linear systems, eigenvalue…

We study differentially private ordinary least squares (DP-OLS) with bounded data $(X,Y)$ via sketching-based mechanisms. While Gaussian sketching approaches have been explored for DP-OLS \citep{sheffet2017differentially}, they are…

Matrices arising in scientific applications frequently admit linear low-rank approximations due to smoothness in the physical and/or temporal domain of the problem. In large-scale problems, computing an optimal low-rank approximation can be…

We develop a novel preconditioning method for ridge regression, based on recent linear sketching methods. By equipping Stochastic Variance Reduced Gradient (SVRG) with this preconditioning process, we obtain a significant speed-up relative…

We study the problem of residual error estimation for matrix and vector norms using a linear sketch. Such estimates can be used, for example, to quickly assess how useful a more expensive low-rank approximation computation will be. The…

In this paper, we revisit the large-scale constrained linear regression problem and propose faster methods based on some recent developments in sketching and optimization. Our algorithms combine (accelerated) mini-batch SGD with a new…

Reduced-rank approach has been used for decades in robust linear estimation of both deterministic and random vector of parameters in linear model y=Hx+\sqrt{epsilon}n. In practical settings, estimation is frequently performed under…

We consider solving equality-constrained nonlinear, nonconvex optimization problems. This class of problems appears widely in a variety of applications in machine learning and engineering, ranging from constrained deep neural networks, to…

One approach to improving the running time of kernel-based machine learning methods is to build a small sketch of the input and use it in lieu of the full kernel matrix in the machine learning task of interest. Here, we describe a version…

Sparse linear regression (SLR) is a well-studied problem in statistics where one is given a design matrix $X\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ and a response vector $y=X\theta^*+w$ for a $k$-sparse vector $\theta^*$ (that is, $\|\theta^*\|_0\leq…

Many relevant machine learning and scientific computing tasks involve high-dimensional linear operators accessible only via costly matrix-vector products. In this context, recent advances in sketched methods have enabled the construction of…

The spatial linear mixed model (SLMM) consists of fixed and spatial random effects that may be linearly dependent. Partially motivated as a means to address potential issues with confounding, the Restricted spatial regression (RSR) model…

Least squares regression is a ubiquitous tool for building emulators (a.k.a. surrogate models) of problems across science and engineering for purposes such as design space exploration and uncertainty quantification. When the regression data…

Unlike the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator for the linear model, a ridge regression linear model provides coefficient estimates via shrinkage, usually with improved mean-square and prediction error. This is true especially when the…

We present and analyze an algorithm designed for addressing vector-valued regression problems involving possibly infinite-dimensional input and output spaces. The algorithm is a randomized adaptation of reduced rank regression, a technique…

Randomized linear system solvers have become popular as they have the potential to reduce floating point complexity while still achieving desirable convergence rates. One particularly promising class of methods, random sketching solvers,…

In distributed second order optimization, a standard strategy is to average many local estimates, each of which is based on a small sketch or batch of the data. However, the local estimates on each machine are typically biased, relative to…

We analyse an iterative algorithm to minimize quadratic functions whose Hessian matrix $H$ is the expectation of a random symmetric $d\times d$ matrix. The algorithm is a variant of the stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG). In…
