Abstract: Matrix sensing has many real-world applications in science and engineering, such as system control, distance embedding, and computer vision. The goal of matrix sensing is to recover a matrix ARn×n, based on a sequence of measurements (ui,bi)Rn×R such that uiAui=bi. Previous work (Zhong et al., 2015) focused on the scenario where matrix A has a small rank, e.g. rank-k. Their analysis heavily relies on the RIP assumption, making it unclear how to generalize to high-rank matrices. In this paper, we relax that rank-k assumption and solve a much more general matrix sensing problem. Given an accuracy parameter δ(0,1), we can compute ARn×n in ˜O(m3/2n2δ1), such that |uiAuibi|δ for all i[m]. We design an efficient algorithm with provable convergence guarantees using stochastic gradient descent for this problem.
