Query: Kernel approximation on algebraic varieties   Low-rank approximation of kernels is a fundamental mathematical problem with
widespread algorithmic applications. Often the kernel is restricted to an
algebraic variety, e.g., in problems involving sparse or low-rank data. We show
that significantly better approximations are obtainable in this setting: the
rank required to achieve a given error depends on the variety's dimension
rather than the ambient dimension, which is typically much larger. This is true
in both high-precision and high-dimensional regimes. Our results are presented
for smooth isotropic kernels, the predominant class of kernels used in
applications. Our main technical insight is to approximate smooth kernels by
polynomial kernels, and leverage two key properties of polynomial kernels that
hold when they are restricted to a variety. First, their ranks decrease
exponentially in the variety's co-dimension. Second, their maximum values are
governed by their values over a small set of points. Together, our results
provide a general approach for exploiting (approximate) "algebraic structure"
in datasets in order to efficiently solve large-scale data science problems.
