The widespread need to solve large-scale linear systems has sparked a growing interest in randomized techniques. One such class of techniques is known as iterative random sketching methods (e.g., Randomized Block Kaczmarz and Randomized Block Coordinate Descent). These methods "sketch" the linear system to generate iterative, easy-to-compute updates to a solution. By working with sketches, these methods can often enable more efficient memory operations, potentially leading to faster performance for large-scale problems. Unfortunately, tracking the progress of these methods still requires computing the full residual of the linear system, an operation that undermines the benefits of the solvers. In practice, this cost is mitigated by occasionally computing the full residual, typically after an epoch. However, this approach sacrifices real-time progress tracking, resulting in wasted computations. In this talk, we use statistical techniques to develop a progress estimation procedure that provides inexpensive, accurate real-time progress estimates at the cost of a small amount of uncertainty that we effectively control.
