A new research paper introduces a method for approximating probability distributions using orthogonal frames, which is relevant for unsupervised learning tasks like factor analysis and subspace clustering. The proposed approach frames the problem as a nonsmooth optimization task over the orthogonal group. The authors demonstrate that both empirical risk minimizers and a stochastic gradient method can achieve near-parametric recovery rates under certain assumptions, overcoming challenges related to the empirical objective's lack of smoothness.
