To provide a deterministic approach, recent researches focus on designing fast matrix-vector multiplication techniques coupled with a conjugate gradient method. Instead of using the conjugate gradient method, our paper proposes to use a domain decomposition approach in solving such a linear system. Its convergence property and speed can be understood within von Neumann's alternating projection framework. We will report signi ficant and consistent improvements in convergence speed over the conjugate gradient method when the approach is applied to recent machine learning problems.enConference Paper10.1145/1273496.1273563
