• Abstract: We introduce efficient $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithms for the binary matrix factorization (BMF) problem, where the inputs are a matrix $\mathbf{A}\in\{0,1\}^{n\times d}$, a rank parameter $k>0$, as well as an accuracy parameter $\varepsilon>0$, and the goal is to approximate $\mathbf{A}$ as a product of low-rank factors $\mathbf{U}\in\{0,1\}^{n\times k}$ and $\mathbf{V}\in\{0,1\}^{k\times d}$. Equivalently, we want to find $\mathbf{U}$ and $\mathbf{V}$ that minimize the Frobenius loss $\|\mathbf{U}\mathbf{V} - \mathbf{A}\|_F^2$. Before this work, the state-of-the-art for this problem was the approximation algorithm of Kumar et. al. [ICML 2019], which achieves a $C$-approximation for some constant $C\ge 576$. We give the first $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm using running time singly exponential in $k$, where $k$ is typically a small integer. Our techniques generalize to other common variants of the BMF problem, admitting bicriteria $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithms for $L_p$ loss functions and the setting where matrix operations are performed in $\mathbb{F}_2$. Our approach can be implemented in standard big data models, such as the streaming or distributed models.

  We study the problem of residual error estimation for matrix and vector norms using a linear sketch. We demonstrate that this gives a substantial advantage empirically, for roughly the same sketch size and accuracy as in previous work. We also show an $Omega(k2/pn1-2/p)$ lower bound for the sparse recovery problem, which is tight up to a $mathrmpoly(log n)$ factor.

  We propose a key twist into the finite-sum minimization, dubbed as continual finite-sum minimization. Our approach significantly improves upon the $mathcalO(n/epsilon)$ FOs that $mathrmStochasticGradientDescent$ requires. We also prove that there is no natural first-order method with $mathcalOleft(n/epsilonalpharight)$ complexity gradient for $alpha 1/4$, establishing that the first-order complexity of our method is nearly tight.

  We consider the problem of linear regression with self-selection bias in the unknown-index setting. We provide a novel and near optimally sample-efficient (in terms of $k$) algorithm to recover $mathbfw_1,ldots,mathbfw_kin. Our algorithm succeeds under significantly relaxed noise assumptions, and therefore also succeeds in the related setting of max-linear regression.
