Large-Scale Nyström Kernel Matrix Approximation Using Randomized SVD
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Nyström method is an efficient technique for the eigenvalue decomposition of large kernel matrices. However, to ensure an accurate approximation, a sufficient number of columns have to be sampled. On very large data sets, the singular value decomposition (SVD) step on the resultant data submatrix can quickly dominate the computations and become prohibitive. In this paper, we propose an accurate and scalable Nyström scheme that first samples a large column subset from the input matrix, but then only performs an approximate SVD on the inner submatrix using the recent randomized low-rank matrix approximation algorithms. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed algorithm is as accurate as the standard Nyström method that directly performs a large SVD on the inner submatrix. On the other hand, its time complexity is only as low as performing a small SVD. Encouraging results are obtained on a number of large-scale data sets for low-rank approximation. Moreover, as the most computational expensive steps can be easily distributed and there is minimal data transfer among the processors, significant speedup can be further obtained with the use of multiprocessor and multi-GPU systems.

متن کاملNyström Approximations for Scalable Face Recognition: A Comparative Study
Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is a widelyused statistical method for representation learning, where PCA is performed in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) to extract nonlinear features from a set of training examples. Despite the success in various applications including face recognition, KPCA does not scale up well with the sample size, since, as in other kernel methods, it i...
متن کاملEnsemble Nyström
A common problem in many areas of large-scale machine learning involves manipulation of a large matrix. This matrix may be a kernel matrix arising in Support Vector Machines [9, 15], Kernel Principal Component Analysis [47] or manifold learning [43,51]. Large matrices also naturally arise in other applications, e.g., clustering, collaborative filtering, matrix completion, and robust PCA. For th...

The singular value decomposition (SVD) is not only a classical theory in matrix computation and analysis, but also is a powerful tool in machine learning and modern data analysis. In this tutorial we first study the basic notion of SVD and then show the central role of SVD in matrices. Using majorization theory, we consider variational principles of singular values and eigenvalues. Built on SVD...
متن کاملTowards More Efficient SPSD Matrix Approximation and CUR Matrix Decomposition
Symmetric positive semi-definite (SPSD) matrix approximation methods have been extensively used to speed up large-scale eigenvalue computation and kernel learning methods. The standard sketch based method, which we call the prototype model, produces relatively accurate approximations, but is inefficient on large square matrices. The Nyström method is highly efficient, but can only achieve low a...
