| | In this post, we will take a look at Nyström approximation, a technique that I came across in Nyströmformer: A Nyström-based Algorithm for Approximating Self-Attention by Xiong et al. This is yet another interesting paper that seeks to make the self-attention algorithm more efficient down to linear runtime. While there are many intricacies to the Nyström method, the goal of this post is to provide a high level intuition of how the method can be used to approximate large matrices, and how this method was used in the aforementioned paper.

| | 1. Low-rank approximation of matrices Let $latex {A}&fg=000000$ be an arbitrary $latex {n \times m}&fg=000000$ matrix. We assume $latex {n \leq m}&fg=000000$. We consider the problem of approximating $latex {A}&fg=000000$ by a low-rank matrix. For example, we could seek to find a rank $latex {s}&fg=000000$ matrix $latex {B}&fg=000000$ minimizing $latex { \lVert A - B...
