We analyze a compression scheme for large data sets that randomly keeps small percentage of the components each sample. The benefit is output sparse matrix, and therefore, subsequent processing, such as principal component analysis (PCA) or K-means, significantly faster, especially in distributed-data setting. Furthermore, sampling single-pass applicable to streaming data. mechanism variant previous methods proposed literature combined with randomized preconditioning smooth provide...
A fundamental task in machine learning involves visualizing high-dimensional data sets that arise high-impact application domains.
