TL;DR
This work addresses recovering a low-rank matrix from highly quantized, dithered one-bit measurements. It develops SVP-RKA, a hybrid of the Randomized Kaczmarz algorithm and Singular Value Projection, to solve the resulting overdetermined one-bit polyhedron under a rank constraint. The authors prove a uniform reconstruction guarantee with Gaussian sensing and dithering, derive a linear convergence rate for SVP-RKA to a neighborhood of the true matrix, and corroborate these results with extensive numerical experiments showing superior performance to HSVT. Practically, the approach enables accurate low-rank recovery at extreme quantization while using fewer samples, with potential benefits for high-rate, energy-efficient sensing systems.
Abstract
We explore the impact of coarse quantization on low-rank matrix sensing in the extreme scenario of dithered one-bit sampling, where the high-resolution measurements are compared with random time-varying threshold levels. To recover the low-rank matrix of interest from the highly-quantized collected data, we offer an enhanced randomized Kaczmarz algorithm that efficiently solves the emerging highly-overdetermined feasibility problem. Additionally, we provide theoretical guarantees in terms of the convergence and sample size requirements. Our numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
