Preconditioners for $Ax=y$ that rely on hierarchical statistical modeling
Solving $Ax=y$ exactly can be done as:
fit a linear autoregressive model by treating rows of $A$ as data
apply this model to $A^T y$
Imperfect predictive model corresponds to an approximate inverse ...

O(n^2) algorithm to approximate the sum of the log of the singular values of a matrix
Given an $M \times N$ matrix of rank $N$ ($M \ge N$) with $i^{th}$ singular value $\sigma_i$, does their exist an $O(M^2)$ algorithm for approximating the sum $ H =\sum_{i=1}^N \log(\sigma_i)$ with ...
