\texttt{TensorSketch} by~\cite{pham2013fast,kar2012random} provides efficient sketching algorithms for high-dimensional polynomial kernels $\vec{x}^{\otimes p} \in \R^{d^p}$. \cite{kar2012random} uses dense Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL)-type projections with computational cost $O(pDd)$, where $D$ denotes the sketch dimension, whereas~\cite{pham2013fast} extends the sparse \texttt{CountSketch}~\citep{count_sketch} algorithm, yielding a faster algorithm for high-dimensional sparse inputs with running time $O\big(p(\nnz{\vec{x}} + D \log D)\big)$.

arXiv:2004. 05813v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Suppose that we are given independent, identically distributed random samples $x_1,\cdots,x_n$ from a mixture at most $k$ many $d$-dimensional spherical Gaussian distributions $\mu_1,\cdots,\mu_{k_0}$ of identical and known variance $\sigma^2$ in each coordinate, such that the minimum $\ell^2$ distance between two distinct centers $y_l$ and $y_j$ is greater than $2\Delta\sigma \min\{\sqrt{d},\sqrt k\}$, where $\Delta>C_0$, and $C_0$ is a sufficiently large universal constant.
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.
