RANDOMIZED JOINT DIAGONALIZATION OF SYMMETRIC

Given a family of nearly commuting symmetric matrices, we consider the task of computing an orthogonal matrix that nearly diagonalizes every matrix in the family. In this paper, we propose and analyze randomized joint diagonalization (RJD) for performing t ...

BENIGN LANDSCAPES OF LOW-DIMENSIONAL RELAXATIONS FOR ORTHOGONAL SYNCHRONIZATION ON GENERAL GRAPHS

Nicolas Boumal

Orthogonal group synchronization is the problem of estimating n elements Z(1),& mldr;,Z(n) from the rxr orthogonal group given some relative measurements R-ij approximate to Z(i)Z(j)(-1). The least-squares formulation is nonconvex. To avoid its local minim ...

Spectral Estimators for High-Dimensional Matrix Inference

Farzad Pourkamali

A key challenge across many disciplines is to extract meaningful information from data which is often obscured by noise. These datasets are typically represented as large matrices. Given the current trend of ever-increasing data volumes, with datasets grow ...

TEE-based decentralized recommender systems: The raw data sharing redemption

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rafael Pereira Pires, Akash Balasaheb Dhasade, Nevena Dresevic

Recommenders are central in many applications today. The most effective recommendation schemes, such as those based on collaborative filtering (CF), exploit similarities between user profiles to make recommendations, but potentially expose private data. Fe ...

Discrete-Choice Mining of Social Processes

Victor Kristof

Poor decisions and selfish behaviors give rise to seemingly intractable global problems, such as the lack of transparency in democratic processes, the spread of conspiracy theories, and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. However, people are more predict ...

Phase retrieval in high dimensions: Statistical and computational phase transitions

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Bruno Loureiro, Bruno Loureiro

We consider the phase retrieval problem of reconstructing a n -dimensional real or complex signal X ⋆ from m (possibly noisy) observations Y μ = | ∑ n i = 1 Φ μ i X ⋆ i / √ n | , for a large class of correlated real and complex random sensing matrices Φ , ...

Sub-Matrix Factorization for Real-Time Vote Prediction

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Victor Kristof

We address the problem of predicting aggregate vote outcomes (e.g., national) from partial outcomes (e.g., regional) that are revealed sequentially. We combine matrix factorization techniques and generalized linear models (GLMs) to obtain a flexible, effic ...

Principal Component Analysis By Optimization Of Symmetric Functions Has No Spurious Local Optima

Armin Eftekhari

Principal component analysis (PCA) finds the best linear representation of data and is an indispensable tool in many learning and inference tasks. Classically, principal components of a dataset are interpreted as the directions that preserve most of its "e ...

Mutual Information for Low-Rank Even-Order Symmetric Tensor Factorization

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Clément Dominique Luneau

We consider a statistical model for finite-rank symmetric tensor factorization and prove a single-letter variational expression for its mutual information when the tensor is of even order. The proof uses the adaptive interpolation method, for which rank-on ...

Incremental Parameter Estimation under Rank-Deficient Measurement Conditions

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter

The computation and modeling of extents has been proposed to handle the complexity of large-scale model identification tasks. Unfortunately, the existing extent-based framework only applies when certain conditions apply. Most typically, it is required that ...

Bayesian adaptation of chaos representations using variational inference and sampling on geodesics

Panagiotis Tsilifis

A novel approach is presented for constructing polynomial chaos representations of scalar quantities of interest (QoI) that extends previously developed methods for adaptation in Homogeneous Chaos spaces. In this work, we develop a Bayesian formulation of ...

A Fast Gradient Method for Nonnegative Sparse Regression With Self-Dictionary

Robert Gerhard Jérôme Luce

A nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) can be computed efficiently under the separability assumption, which asserts that all the columns of the given input data matrix belong to the cone generated by a (small) subset of them. The provably most robust met ...

On-the-Fly Audio Source Separation-A Novel User-Friendly Framework

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

This paper addresses the challenging problem of single-channel audio source separation. We introduce a novel userguided framework where source models that govern the separation process are learned on-the-fly from audio examples retrieved online. The user o ...

Bartering Books to Beers: a Recommender System for Exchange Platforms

Michele Catasta, Jérémie Rappaz, Maria-Luiza Vladarean

Bartering is a timeless practice that is becoming increasingly popular on the Web. Recommending trades for an online bartering platform shares many similarities with traditional approaches to recommendation, in particular the need to model the preferences ...

The U (n) free rigid body: Integrability and stability analysis of the equilibria

Tudor Ratiu

A natural extension of the free rigid body dynamics to the unitary group U (n) is considered. The dynamics is described by the Euler equation on the Lie algebra u(n), which has a bi-Hamiltonian structure, and it can be reduced onto the adjoint orbits, as i ...

LINVIEW: Incremental View Maintenance for Complex Analytical Queries

Christoph Koch, Milos Nikolic, Mohamed Elsayed Mohamed Ahmed El Seidy

Many analytics tasks and machine learning problems can be naturally expressed by iterative linear algebra programs. In this paper, we study the incremental view maintenance problem for such complex analytical queries. We develop a framework, called LINVIEW ...

An updated version of wannier90: A tool for obtaining maximally-localised Wannier functions

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi

wannier90 is a program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch energy bands that may or may not be attached to or mixed with other bands. The formalism works by minimising the total spread of the MLWFs in real spac ...

Inverse Rendering of Lambertian Surfaces Using Subspace Methods

Quy Ha Nguyen, Minh Do

We propose a vector space approach for inverse rendering of a Lambertian convex object with distant light sources. In this problem, the texture of the object and arbitrary lightings are both to be recovered from multiple images of the object and its 3D mod ...
