Kernel methods are widespread in machine learning; however, they are limited by the quadratic complexity of the construction, application, and storage of kernel matrices. Low-rank matrix approximation algorithms are widely used to address this problem and reduce the arithmetic and storage cost. However, we observed tha…

This work studies low-rank approximation of a positive semidefinite matrix from partial entries via nonconvex optimization.

Efficient and accurate low-rank approximations of multiple data sources are essential in the era of big data. The scaling of kernel-based learning algorithms to large datasets is limited by the O(n^2) computation and storage complexity of the full kernel matrix, which is required by most of the recent kernel learning a…
We investigate how to train kernel approximation methods that generalize well under a memory budget. Building on recent theoretical work, we define a measure of kernel approximation error which we find to be more predictive of the empirical generalization performance of kernel approximation methods than conventional me…
We propose a novel class of kernels to alleviate the high computational cost of large-scale nonparametric learning with kernel methods. The proposed kernel is defined based on a hierarchical partitioning of the underlying data domain, where the Nyström method (a globally low-rank approximation) is married with a locall…
In this paper, we present a framework for fitting multivariate Hawkes processes for large-scale problems both in the number of events in the observed history n and the number of event types d (i.e. dimensions).

Low-rank tensor regression, a new model class that learns high-order correlation from data, has recently received considerable attention. At the same time, Gaussian processes (GP) are well-studied machine learning models for structure learning. In this paper, we demonstrate interesting connections between the two, espe…
A well-recognized limitation of kernel learning is the requirement to handle a kernel matrix, whose size is quadratic in the number of training examples. Many methods have been proposed to reduce this computational cost, mostly by using a subset of the kernel matrix entries, or some form of low-rank matrix approximatio…

Reduced modeling of a computationally demanding dynamical system aims at approximating its trajectories, while optimizing the trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity. In this work, we propose to achieve such an approximation by first embedding the trajectories in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS…
We consider fast kernel summations in high dimensions: given a large set of points in d dimensions (with d≫3) and a pair-potential function (the {\em kernel} function), we compute a weighted sum of all pairwise kernel interactions for each point in the set. Direct summation is equivalent to a (dense) matrix-vec…
