A significant hurdle for analyzing large sample data is the lack of effective statistical computing and inference methods. An emerging powerful approach for analyzing large sample data is subsampling, by which one takes a random subsample from the original full sample and uses it as a surrogate for subsequent computati…

In this paper we demonstrate that tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers for Bayesian models by recursively subsampling observations without replacement can improve the performance of baseline samplers in terms of effective sample size per computation. We present two tempering by subsampling algorithms, subsampled…
Large sample size brings the computation bottleneck for modern data analysis. Subsampling is one of efficient strategies to handle this problem. In previous studies, researchers make more fo- cus on subsampling with replacement (SSR) than on subsampling without replacement (SSWR). In this paper we investigate a kind of…
For massive data, the family of subsampling algorithms is popular to downsize the data volume and reduce computational burden.

We study the problem of subsampling in differential privacy (DP), a question that is the centerpiece behind many successful differentially private machine learning algorithms.

This paper optimizes subsampling for large datasets using Poisson distribution.
We present a matrix factorization algorithm that scales to input matrices that are large in both dimensions (i.e., that contains morethan 1TB of data). The algorithm streams the matrix columns while subsampling them, resulting in low complexity per iteration andreasonable memory footprint. In contrast to previous onlin…
