A Novel Stochastic Gradient Descent Algorithm for LearningPrincipal Subspaces

In this paper, we derive an algorithm that learns a principal subspace from sample entries, can be applied when the approximate subspace is represented by a neural network, and hence can bescaled to datasets with an effectively infinite number of rows and columns. Our method consistsin defining a loss function whose minimizer is the desired principal subspace, and constructing agradient estimate of this loss whose bias can be controlled.
