In this paper, we show that the bundle method can be applied to solve semidefinite programming problems with a low rank solution without ever constructing a full matrix. To accomplish this, we use recent results from randomly sketching…
We develop a novel linear-complexity bottom-up sketching-based algorithm for constructing a $H^2$ matrix, and present its high performance GPU implementation. The construction algorithm requires both a black-box sketching operator and an…
We consider the sensitivity of algorithms for the maximum matching problem against edge and vertex modifications. Algorithms with low sensitivity are desirable because they are robust to edge failure or attack. In this work, we show a…
Recently, Musco and Woodruff (FOCS, 2017) showed that given an $n \times n$ positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix $A$, it is possible to compute a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate relative-error low-rank approximation to $A$ by querying…
In this paper, we propose a unified two-phase scheme to accelerate any high-order regularized tensor approximation approach on the smooth part of a composite convex optimization model. The proposed scheme has the advantage of not needing to…
We study online linear optimization with matrix variables constrained by the operator norm, a setting where the geometry renders designing data-dependent and efficient adaptive algorithms challenging. The best-known adaptive regret bounds…
We propose new approximate alternating projection methods, based on randomized sketching, for the low-rank nonnegative matrix approximation problem: find a low-rank approximation of a nonnegative matrix that is nonnegative, but whose…
Generalized matrix approximation plays a fundamental role in many machine learning problems, such as CUR decomposition, kernel approximation, and matrix low rank approximation. Especially with today's applications involved in larger and…
It is often desirable to reduce the dimensionality of a large dataset by projecting it onto a low-dimensional subspace. Matrix sketching has emerged as a powerful technique for performing such dimensionality reduction very efficiently. Even…
We investigate adaptive sublinear algorithms for detecting monotone patterns in an array. Given fixed $2 \leq k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\varepsilon > 0$, consider the problem of finding a length-$k$ increasing subsequence in an array $f \colon…
Maximum coverage and minimum set cover problems --collectively called coverage problems-- have been studied extensively in streaming models. However, previous research not only achieve sub-optimal approximation factors and space…
Low-rank approximation in data streams is a fundamental and significant task in computing science, machine learning and statistics. Multiple streaming algorithms have emerged over years and most of them are inspired by randomized…
Machine learning problems such as neural network training, tensor decomposition, and matrix factorization, require local minimization of a nonconvex function. This local minimization is challenged by the presence of saddle points, of which…
We here adapt an extended version of the adaptive cubic regularisation method with dynamic inexact Hessian information for nonconvex optimisation in [3] to the stochastic optimisation setting. While exact function evaluations are still…
Given an implicit $n\times n$ matrix $A$ with oracle access $x^TA x$ for any $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$, we study the query complexity of randomized algorithms for estimating the trace of the matrix. This problem has many applications in quantum…
We undertake a systematic study of sketching a quadratic form: given an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, create a succinct sketch $\textbf{sk}(A)$ which can produce (without further access to $A$) a multiplicative $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation to…
We propose a new framework for analyzing zeroth-order optimization (ZOO) from the perspective of \emph{oblivious randomized sketching}.In this framework, commonly used gradient estimators in ZOO-such as finite difference (FD) and random…
An adaptive regularization algorithm using inexact function and derivatives evaluations is proposed for the solution of composite nonsmooth nonconvex optimization. It is shown that this algorithm needs at most…
We present new adaptive sampling rules for the sketch-and-project method for solving linear systems. To deduce our new sampling rules, we first show how the progress of one step of the sketch-and-project method depends directly on a…
We present deterministic algorithms for maintaining a $(3/2 + \epsilon)$ and $(2 + \epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching in a fully dynamic graph with worst-case update times $\hat{O}(\sqrt{n})$ and $\tilde{O}(1)$ respectively. The…
