arXiv:2608. 12503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe a simple rejection-sampling-based algorithm to perform length-squared sampling on an $n \times n$ positive-semidefinite (psd) matrix: that is, to sample a column with probability proportional to its squared $\ell_2$-norm.

arXiv:2607. 07735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse precision matrix estimation provides an interpretable and computationally efficient framework for modeling conditional dependencies in high-dimensional, low-sample-size data.

arXiv:2607. 07513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised learning matches supervised accuracy from a fraction of the labels, but the labeled-sample efficiency behind this has lacked a theoretical explanation.

arXiv:2605. 28613v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper studies the stability of low-rank implicit regularization in deep matrix factorization, a tractable model for understanding how gradient-based training can favor low-complexity structure.

arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

arXiv:2109. 11057v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weighted low-rank matrix approximation (WLRMA) generalizes classical low-rank approximation and matrix completion by allowing arbitrary elementwise weights.

arXiv:2607. 22263v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A data-driven inverse optimization problem (DDIOP) is the problem of estimating the objective-function parameters (weights) that explain observed optimal-solution data, and it arises in many applications, including integer linear programming (ILP).

arXiv:2606. 31390v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-rank matrix optimization is often carried out via the Burer-Monteiro (BM) formulation, but choosing the factorization rank $r$ is delicate and can substantially slow optimization.

arXiv:2505. 10882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Principal component analysis classically requires full $d$-dimensional samples, yet in various applications hardware limits acquisition to a few scalar measurements per sample.
