We give the first algorithm for Matrix Completion whose running time and sample complexity is polynomial in the rank of the unknown target matrix, linear in the dimension of the matrix, and logarithmic in the condition number of the matrix. To the best of our knowledge, all previous algorithms either incurred a quadrat…

The paper examines how gradient descent stabilizes low-rank matrix factorization in noisy conditions.
Low-rank matrix recovery has found many applications in science and engineering such as machine learning, signal processing, collaborative filtering, system identification, and Euclidean embedding. But the low-rank matrix recovery problem is an NP hard problem and thus challenging. A commonly used heuristic approach is…
ScaledGD improves gradient descent for ill-conditioned low-rank matrix estimation.
To estimate the conditional probability functions based on the direct problem setting, V-matrix based method was proposed. We construct V-matrix based constrained quadratic programming problems for which the inequality constraints are inconsistent. In particular, we would like to present that the constrained quadratic …

This paper considers inference over distributed linear Gaussian models using factor graphs and Gaussian belief propagation (BP). The distributed inference algorithm involves only local computation of the information matrix and of the mean vector, and message passing between neighbors. Under broad conditions, it is show…
The study characterizes the conditioning of the Gauss-Newton matrix in neural networks.
This work studies the strong duality of non-convex matrix factorization problems: we show that under certain dual conditions, these problems and its dual have the same optimum. This has been well understood for convex optimization, but little was known for non-convex problems. We propose a novel analytical framework an…
This paper considers the matrix completion problem. We show that it is not necessary to assume joint incoherence, which is a standard but unintuitive and restrictive condition that is imposed by previous studies. This leads to a sample complexity bound that is order-wise optimal with respect to the incoherence paramete…
Preconditioned SGD accelerates convergence for ill-conditioned huge-scale matrix completion.
High-dimensional settings, where the data dimension () far exceeds the number of observations (), are common in many statistical and machine learning applications. Methods based on -relaxation, such as Lasso, are very popular for sparse recovery in these settings. Restricted Eigenvalue (RE) condition is a…

Unified framework for nonconvex matrix completion with linearly parameterized factors.
We consider the matrix completion problem with a deterministic pattern of observed entries. In this setting, we aim to answer the question: under what condition there will be (at least locally) unique solution to the matrix completion problem, i.e., the underlying true matrix is identifiable. We answer the question fro…

An analysis is made of reality conditions within the context of noncommutative geometry. We show that if a covariant derivative satisfies a given left Leibniz rule then a right Leibniz rule is equivalent to the reality condition. We show also that the matrix which determines the reality condition must satisfy the Yang-…

Projection-cost preservation is a low-rank approximation guarantee which ensures that the cost of any rank- projection can be preserved using a smaller sketch of the original data matrix. We present a general structural result outlining four sufficient conditions to achieve projection-cost preservation. These condit…

Improved covariance matrix estimation for portfolio optimization with guaranteed PSD and controlled conditioning.
Optimization problems with rank constraints arise in many applications, including matrix regression, structured PCA, matrix completion and matrix decomposition problems. An attractive heuristic for solving such problems is to factorize the low-rank matrix, and to run projected gradient descent on the nonconvex factoriz…

Given a real matrix A with n columns, the problem is to approximate the Gram product AA^T by c << n weighted outer products of columns of A. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exact computation of AA^T (in exact arithmetic) from c >= rank(A) columns depend on the right singular vector matrix of A. For a Monte-…
