Randomised linear algebra

2016-08-16

The twin to random matrices, and elder sibling of vector random projections; doing linear algebra operations using randomised matrix projections. Useful for, e.g. randomised regression

Quite an old method, but extra hot recently.

Obligatory Igor Carron mention:

IBM has a research group in this although they seem to have gone silent since a good year in 2014.

Mart16 seems to be the best fresh review of the action.

🏗 make coherent.

To learn: Are people doing this with quasi monte carlo? SAME14 seems to be one; any others?

Implementations

  • R: rSVD, Randomised SVD in R (Erichson et al. 2016)
  • Python/C++: IBM’s libskylark
  • c: RSVDPACK implements low rank SVD, ID, and CUR factorizations of matrices, also does GPU calculations. (Martinsson and Voronin 2015; Voronin and Martinsson 2014)
  • MATLAB: RandMatrixMatlab (Wang 2015)
