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:2602. 20376v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of maximizing a complex-valued quadratic form over the $K^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity.
arXiv:2606. 24134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by an application in machine learning optimization, this paper focuses on the challenges of sampling a matrix uniformly from the unit spectral norm ball.
arXiv:1312. 0925v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Alternating Minimization is a widely used and empirically successful heuristic for matrix completion and related low-rank optimization problems.
arXiv:2602. 05869v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Wedge Sampling, a new non-adaptive sampling scheme for low-rank tensor completion.

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.
arXiv:2606. 19411v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Selecting a fixed-size subset that maximizes the determinant of a positive semidefinite kernel is the MAP problem for a size-constrained determinantal point process and the classical maximum-entropy sampling problem.
arXiv:2609. 17048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study nonconvex methods for matrix completion, the problem of recovering a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries.
arXiv:2606. 15679v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stochastic trace estimation is a standard tool for approximating the trace of a large-scale matrix available only through matrix-vector products.
arXiv:2507.19290v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of learning a structured approximation (low-rank, sparse, banded, etc.) to an unknown matrix $A$ given access to matrix-...
arXiv:2606. 11263v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spectral methods rely fundamentally on the stability of principal eigenspaces under random perturbations.
