Matrix multiplication is a fundamental building block for large scale computations arising in various applications, including machine learning. There has been significant recent interest in using coding to speed up distributed matrix multiplication, that are robust to stragglers (i.e., machines that may perform slower …

This note gives a simple analysis of a randomized approximation scheme for matrix multiplication proposed by Sarlos (2006) based on a random rotation followed by uniform column sampling. The result follows from a matrix version of Bernstein's inequality and a tail inequality for quadratic forms in subgaussian random ve…

New algorithms estimate matrix norms without matrix multiplication.
Expected centre of mass for random embeddings is constant.
We derive exponential tail inequalities for sums of random matrices with no dependence on the explicit matrix dimensions. These are similar to the matrix versions of the Chernoff bound and Bernstein inequality except with the explicit matrix dimensions replaced by a trace quantity that can be small even when the dimens…
A new method combines multiple cancer datasets to improve analysis.
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…
We prove optimal subspace embedding conjecture up to sub-polylogarithmic factors.
We show that a simple randomized sketch of the matrix multiplicative weight (MMW) update enjoys (in expectation) the same regret bounds as MMW, up to a small constant factor. Unlike MMW, where every step requires full matrix exponentiation, our steps require only a single product of the form , which the Lanczos …
Unified analysis of generalization curves in large models using gradient flow.
We present a new trace estimator of the matrix whose explicit form is not given but its matrix multiplication to a vector is available. The form of the estimator is similar to the Hutchison stochastic trace estimator, but instead of the random noise vectors in Hutchison estimator, we use small number of probing vectors…
New algorithm for active learning in multiple matrix completion problems.
We introduce a "learning-based" algorithm for the low-rank decomposition problem: given an matrix , and a parameter , compute a rank- matrix that minimizes the approximation loss . The algorithm uses a training set of input matrices in order to optimize its performance. Specifical…
We propose improved methods to identify stock groups using the correlation matrix of stock price changes. By filtering out the marketwide effect and the random noise, we construct the correlation matrix of stock groups in which nontrivial high correlations between stocks are found. Using the filtered correlation matrix…
We develop a method to describe laws of random surfaces using surface holonomy.
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-…
MCE reduces embedding instability in nonlinear dimensionality reduction.
Random projections (RP) are a popular tool for reducing dimensionality while preserving local geometry. In many applications the data set to be projected is given to us in advance, yet the current RP techniques do not make use of information about the data. In this paper, we provide a computationally light way to extra…
The matrix-based Renyi's α-order entropy functional was recently introduced using the normalized eigenspectrum of a Hermitian matrix of the projected data in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). However, the current theory in the matrix-based Renyi's α-order entropy functional only defines the entropy of a single…

Improved statistical computation through efficient matrix sampling.
In recent years, randomized methods for numerical linear algebra have received growing interest as a general approach to large-scale problems. Typically, the essential ingredient of these methods is some form of randomized dimension reduction, which accelerates computations, but also creates random approximation error.…
Mixed membership factorization is a popular approach for analyzing data sets that have within-sample heterogeneity. In recent years, several algorithms have been developed for mixed membership matrix factorization, but they only guarantee estimates from a local optimum. Here, we derive a global optimization (GOP) algor…
Efficient approximations reduce computation of matrix-based Renyi's entropy.
We use a cluster ensemble to determine the number of clusters, k, in a group of data. A consensus similarity matrix is formed from the ensemble using multiple algorithms and several values for k. A random walk is induced on the graph defined by the consensus matrix and the eigenvalues of the associated transition proba…
We find a novel correlation structure in the residual noise of stock market returns that is remarkably linked to the composition and stability of the top few significant factors driving the returns, and moreover indicates that the noise band is composed of multiple subbands that do not fully mix. Our findings allow us …
This review covers recent results concerning the estimation of large covariance matrices using tools from Random Matrix Theory (RMT).

Advances in molecular "omics'" technologies have motivated new methodology for the integration of multiple sources of high-content biomedical data.

A novel framework for consensus clustering is presented which has the ability to determine both the number of clusters and a final solution using multiple algorithms. A consensus similarity matrix is formed from an ensemble using multiple algorithms and several values for k. A variety of dimension reduction techniques …
This paper optimizes matrix-based Renyi's entropy computation for large datasets.
Matrix sketching is a recently developed data compression technique. An input matrix A is efficiently approximated with a smaller matrix B, so that B preserves most of the properties of A up to some guaranteed approximation ratio. In so doing numerical operations on big data sets become faster. Sketching algorithms gen…
