abstract

We consider the non-square matrix sensing problem, under restricted isometry property (RIP) assumptions. We focus on the non-convex formulation, where any rank-$r$ matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ is represented as $UV^\top$, where $U \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times r}$ and $V \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times r}$. In this paper, we complement recent findings on the non-convex geometry of the analogous PSD setting [5], and show that matrix factorization does not introduce any spurious local minima, under RIP.

  1. One Rank at a Time: Cascading Error Dynamics in Sequential Learning

    cs.LG 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Errors from each rank-1 step in sequential low-rank learning compound through factors that grow when singular values are close, so early steps deserve more compute.
