Optimization on the Surface of the (Hyper)-Sphere

no code implementations13 Sep 2019 Parameswaran Raman, Jiasen Yang

Thomson problem is a classical problem in physics to study how $n$ number of charged particles distribute themselves on the surface of a sphere of $k$ dimensions.

Randomized Iterative Algorithms for Fisher Discriminant Analysis

no code implementations9 Sep 2018 Agniva Chowdhury, Jiasen Yang, Petros Drineas

When the number of predictor variables greatly exceeds the number of observations, one of the alternatives for conventional FDA is regularized Fisher discriminant analysis (RFDA).

An Iterative, Sketching-based Framework for Ridge Regression

no code implementations ICML 2018 Agniva Chowdhury, Jiasen Yang, Petros Drineas

Ridge regression is a variant of regularized least squares regression that is particularly suitable in settings where the number of predictor variables greatly exceeds the number of observations.

Goodness-of-fit Testing for Discrete Distributions via Stein Discrepancy

no code implementations ICML 2018 Jiasen Yang, Qiang Liu, Vinayak Rao, Jennifer Neville

Recent work has combined Stein’s method with reproducing kernel Hilbert space theory to develop nonparametric goodness-of-fit tests for un-normalized probability distributions.

Structural Conditions for Projection-Cost Preservation via Randomized Matrix Multiplication

no code implementations29 May 2017 Agniva Chowdhury, Jiasen Yang, Petros Drineas

Projection-cost preservation is a low-rank approximation guarantee which ensures that the cost of any rank-$k$ projection can be preserved using a smaller sketch of the original data matrix.
