Simple and Deterministic Matrix Sketches

slides:none on file

An algorithm called deterministic frequent-directions maintains an L-column sketch B so AA^T − BB^T has operator norm ≤ ε||A||_F^2 when L = 2/ε, by SVD’ing the D×L sketch, zeroing small singular directions and shrinking by the median singular value; amortized cost is O(NDL). Experiments show it beats norm-sampling, hashing and random projection on a noisy matrix, handling a 100k×10k in 3 minutes point with L=100. Sketches are mergeable and later work gets rank-k, 1+ε guarantees with L≈k/ε.
