We perform importance sampling for a randomized matrix multiplication algorithm by Drineas, Kannan, and Mahoney derive probabilities that minimize the expected value (with regard to distributions of elements) variance. compare these optimized with uniform conditions under which actual variance is lower. Numerical experiments query matching in information retrieval applications illustrate produce more accurate matchings than they can also be computed efficiently.
