Description

Randomized algorithms in numerical linear algebra have proven to be effective in ameliorating issues of scalability when working with large matrices, efficiently producing accurate low-rank approximations. A key remaining challenge, however, is to efficiently assess the approximation accuracy of randomized methods without additional expensive matrix accesses.

In this talk, we discuss a posteriori error estimation strategies for randomized low-rank approximations, with a focus on estimators that can be constructed from the same data used to compute the approximation, including leave-one-out type estimators. These can serve both as certification tools and as algorithmic building blocks, enabling adaptive approximations and informed trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost.
