Our paper with Guy on the optimality of Voronoi‐based column selection is now available here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…… Very happy we can finally share these cool results with the community! @MathAtMason

On the optimality of voronoi‐based column selection

While there exists a rich array of matrix column subset selection problem (CSSP) algorithms for use with interpolative and CUR-type decompositions, their use can often become prohibitive as the size...
