Title: 

Sharp tradeoffs for randomized numerical algorithms: Let the theory meet practice 

Abstract: 

Randomized numerical algorithms are fundamental for a variety of problems in signal processing and machine learning. Examples include sparse signal processing and dimensionality reduction for faster machine learning. These algorithms come with various tradeoffs involving the amount of data, computational resources and statistical precision. Characterization of these tradeoffs is crucial for correct hyperparameter selection, time sensitive optimization and eventual performance of the algorithms. In this talk, we describe our recent results on how to accurately predict these tradeoffs in multiple scenarios which helps us further close the gap between theory and practice.
