A unified framework for linear dimensionality reduction in L1

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a family of interpolation norms |cdot|1,2,s on mathbbRn, we provide a distribution over random matrices PhisinmathbbRmimesn parametrized by sparsity level s such that for a fixed set X of K points in mathbbRn, if mgeqCslog(K) then with high probability, frac12|x|1,2,sleq|Phis(x)|1leq2|x|1,2,s for all xinX. Several existing results in the literature reduce to special cases of this result at different values of s: for s=n, |x|1,2,nequiv|x|1 and we recover that dimension reducing linear maps can preserve the ell1-norm up to a distortion proportional to the dimension reduction factor, which is known to be the best possible such result. For s=1, |x|1,2,1equiv|x|2, and we recover an ell2/ell1 variant of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma for Gaussian random matrices. Finally, if x is s-sparse, then |x|1,2,s=|x|1 and we recover that s-sparse vectors in ell1n embed into ell1mathcalO(slog(n)) via sparse random matrix constructions.


For a family of interpolation norms \(\|\cdot \|_{1,2,s}\) on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) the authors provide a distribution over random matrices \(\Phi_s\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}\) parametrized by sparsity level \(s\) such that for a fixed set \(X\) of K points in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) holds: if \(m\geq Cs\log (K)\) then with high probability \(\frac12 \| x\|_{1,2,s}\leq \|\Phi_s(x)\|_1\leq 2\| x\|_{1,2,s}\) for all \(x\in X\). In this way, they manage to recove some existiong results in the literature (for \(s=n\), \(s=1\)).
