Sampling for Subset Selection and Applications

Shows that picking roughly k/ε rows (or O(k/ε) columns) by adaptive sampling or volume sampling yields a 1+ε low-rank approximation in time about n·d·k/ε (linear in nonzeros), improving on additive JL-style guarantees. Gives efficient volume-sampling algorithms (poly(k,d) or nd·k^2/ε^2 for approximate sampling), connects volume sampling to determinantal point processes and to leverage-score and deterministic sparsification approaches, and lists concrete uses: Nystrom kernel speedups, CUR decompositions, kmeans++ initialization and Lasserre SDP rounding.
