Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma, Linear and Nonlinear Random Projections, Random Fourier Features, and Random Kitchen Sinks: Tutorial and Survey


الملخص بالإنكليزية

This is a tutorial and survey paper on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) lemma and linear and nonlinear random projections. We start with linear random projection and then justify its correctness by JL lemma and its proof. Then, sparse random projections with $ell_1$ norm and interpolation norm are introduced. Two main applications of random projection, which are low-rank matrix approximation and approximate nearest neighbor search by random projection onto hypercube, are explained. Random Fourier Features (RFF) and Random Kitchen Sinks (RKS) are explained as methods for nonlinear random projection. Some other methods for nonlinear random projection, including extreme learning machine, randomly weighted neural networks, and ensemble of random projections, are also introduced.
