Finding the $r\times r$ submatrix of maximum volume of a matrix $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ is an NP hard problem that arises in a variety of applications. We propose a new greedy algorithm of cost $\mathcal O(n)$, for the case $A$…
We study the classic matrix cross approximation based on the maximal volume submatrices. Our main results consist of an improvement of the classic estimate for matrix cross approximation and a greedy approach for finding the maximal volume…
We introduce a definition of the volume for a general rectangular matrix, which for square matrices is equivalent to the absolute value of the determinant. We generalize results for square maximum-volume submatrices to the case of…
Positive semi-definite matrices commonly occur as normal matrices of least squares problems in statistics or as kernel matrices in machine learning and approximation theory. They are typically large and dense. Thus algorithms to solve…
The problem of approximating a matrix by a low-rank one has been extensively studied. This problem assumes, however, that the whole matrix has a low-rank structure. This assumption is often false for real-world matrices. We consider the…
New methods for finding submatrices of (locally) maximal volume and large projective volume are proposed and studied. Detailed analysis is also carried out for existing methods. The effectiveness of the new methods is shown in the…
Matrices are typically considered over fields or rings. Motivated by applications in parametric differential equations and data-driven modeling, we suggest to study matrices with entries from a Hilbert space and present an elementary theory…
Given a basic compact semi-algebraic set $\K\subset\R^n$, we introduce a methodology that generates a sequence converging to the volume of $\K$. This sequence is obtained from optimal values of a hierarchy of either semidefinite or linear…
Given a matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ ($n$ vectors in $m$ dimensions), and a positive integer $k < n$, we consider the problem of selecting $k$ column vectors from $A$ such that the volume of the parallelepiped they define is…
Several fundamental problems that arise in optimization and computer science can be cast as follows: Given vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_m \in \mathbb{R}^d$ and a constraint family ${\cal B}\subseteq 2^{[m]}$, find a set $S \in \cal{B}$ that…
We show how to approximate a data matrix $\mathbf{A}$ with a much smaller sketch $\mathbf{\tilde A}$ that can be used to solve a general class of constrained k-rank approximation problems to within $(1+\epsilon)$ error. Importantly, this…
A new fast algebraic method for obtaining an $\mathcal{H}^2$-approximation of a matrix from its entries is presented. The main idea behind the method is based on the nested representation and the maximum-volume principle to select…
We introduce and study the problem of consistent low-rank approximation, in which rows of an input matrix $\mathbf{A}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ arrive sequentially and the goal is to provide a sequence of subspaces that well-approximate the…
We study three fundamental problems of Linear Algebra, lying in the heart of various Machine Learning applications, namely: 1)"Low-rank Column-based Matrix Approximation". We are given a matrix A and a target rank k. The goal is to select a…
The paper considers the problem of finding a submatrix $X_{\mathcal{S}} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times k}$ in a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$, such that the spectral or Frobenius norm of $X_{\mathcal{S}}^{\dag} X$ is limited, which…
We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…
This paper deals with the problem of robust matrix completion -- retrieving a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix from the compressed counterpart of their superposition. Though seemingly not an unresolved issue, we point out that the…
We consider a variety of criteria for selecting k representative columns from a real mxn matrix A, when sufficiently few columns are required, i.e., 1<= k<= min{rank(A), m/3}. The criteria include the following optimization problems:…
An important yet challenging problem in numerical linear algebra is finding a principal submatrix with maximum determinant from a given symmetric positive semidefinite matrix. This problem arises in experimental design, statistics, and…
We address the problem of minimizing a convex function over the space of large matrices with low rank. While this optimization problem is hard in general, we propose an efficient greedy algorithm and derive its formal approximation…
