Sparse Recovery for Orthogonal Polynomial Transforms

Authors: Anna Gilbert, Albert Gu, Christopher Ré, Atri Rudra, and Mary Wootters

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)

Abstract
In this paper we consider the following sparse recovery problem. We have query access to a vector 𝐱 ∈ ℝ^N such that x̂ = 𝐅 𝐱 is k-sparse (or nearly k-sparse) for some orthogonal transform 𝐅. The goal is to output an approximation (in an 𝓁₂ sense) to x̂ in sublinear time. This problem has been well-studied in the special case that 𝐅 is the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), and a long line of work has resulted in sparse Fast Fourier Transforms that run in time O(k ⋅ polylog N). However, for transforms 𝐅 other than the DFT (or closely related transforms like the Discrete Cosine Transform), the question is much less settled. In this paper we give sublinear-time algorithms - running in time poly(k log(N)) - for solving the sparse recovery problem for orthogonal transforms 𝐅 that arise from orthogonal polynomials. More precisely, our algorithm works for any 𝐅 that is an orthogonal polynomial transform derived from Jacobi polynomials. The Jacobi polynomials are a large class of classical orthogonal polynomials (and include Chebyshev and Legendre polynomials as special cases), and show up extensively in applications like numerical analysis and signal processing. One caveat of our work is that we require an assumption on the sparsity structure of the sparse vector, although we note that vectors with random support have this property with high probability. Our approach is to give a very general reduction from the k-sparse sparse recovery problem to the 1-sparse sparse recovery problem that holds for any flat orthogonal polynomial transform; then we solve this one-sparse recovery problem for transforms derived from Jacobi polynomials. Frequently, sparse FFT algorithms are described as implementing such a reduction; however, the technical details of such works are quite specific to the Fourier transform and moreover the actual implementations of these algorithms do not use the 1-sparse algorithm as a black box. In this work we give a reduction that works for a broad class of orthogonal polynomial families, and which uses any 1-sparse recovery algorithm as a black box.

Efficiently Decodable Compressed Sensing by List-Recoverable Codes and Recursion

Authors: Hung Q. Ngo, Ely Porat, and Atri Rudra

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 14, 29th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2012)

Abstract
We present two recursive techniques to construct compressed sensing schemes that can be "decoded" in sub-linear time. The first technique is based on the well studied code composition method called code concatenation where the "outer" code has strong list recoverability properties. This technique uses only one level of recursion and critically uses the power of list recovery. The second recursive technique is conceptually similar, and has multiple recursion levels. The following compressed sensing results are obtained using these techniques: - Strongly explicit efficiently decodable l_1/l_1 compressed sensing matrices: We present a strongly explicit ("for all") compressed sensing measurement matrix with O(d^2log^2 n) measurements that can output near-optimal d-sparse approximations in time poly(d log n). - Near-optimal efficiently decodable l_1/l_1 compressed sensing matrices for non-negative signals: We present two randomized constructions of ("for all") compressed sensing matrices with near optimal number of measurements: O(d log n loglog_d n) and O_{m,s}(d^{1+1/s} log n (log^(m) n)^s), respectively, for any integer parameters s,m>=1. Both of these constructions can output near optimal d-sparse approximations for non-negative signals in time poly(d log n). To the best of our knowledge, none of the results are dominated by existing results in the literature.

Polynomial Fitting of Data Streams with Applications to Codeword Testing

Authors: Andrew McGregor, Atri Rudra, and Steve Uurtamo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 9, 28th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2011)

Abstract
Given a stream of $(x,y)$ points, we consider the problem of finding univariate polynomials that best fit the data. Over finite fields, this problem encompasses the well-studied problem of decoding Reed-Solomon codes while over the reals it corresponds to the well-studied polynomial regression problem. We present one-pass algorithms for two natural problems: i) find the polynomial of a given degree $k$ that minimizes the error and ii) find the polynomial of smallest degree that interpolates through the points with at most a given error bound. We consider a range of error models including the average error per point, the maximum error, and the number of points that are not fitted exactly. Many of our results apply to both the reals and finite fields. As a consequence we also solve an open question regarding the tolerant testing of codes in the data stream model.
