Abstract
Dimensionality reduction is in demand to reduce the complexity of solving large-scale problems with data lying in latent low-dimensional structures in machine learning and computer version. Motivated by such need, in this talk I will introduce the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) of Gaussian random projections for low-dimensional subspaces in R^N, and prove that the projection Frobenius norm distance between any two subspaces spanned by the projected data in R^n for n
 
Previously the well-known Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) Lemma and RIP for sparse vectors have been the foundation of sparse signal processing including Compressed Sensing. As an analogy to JL Lemma and RIP for sparse vectors, this work allows the use of random projections to reduce the ambient dimension with the theoretical guarantee that the distance between subspaces after compression is well preserved. 
 
As a direct result of our theory, when solving the subspace clustering (SC) problem at a large scale, one may conduct SC algorithm on randomly compressed samples to alleviate the high computational burden and still have theoretical performance guarantee. Because the distance between subspaces almost remains unchanged after projection, the clustering error rate of any SC algorithm may keep as small as that conducting in the original space. Considering that our theory is independent of SC algorithms, this may benefit future studies on other subspace related topics.
