The analysis of large matrices is a key aspect of high-dimensional data analysis, with computing the singular values and vectors of a matrix being a central task. However, real-world data is often disturbed by noise, which affects the essential spectral parameters of the matrix. While classical deterministic theorems can provide accurate estimates for the worst-case scenario, this talk will focus on the case when the perturbation is random. By assuming that the data matrix has a low rank, optimal subspace perturbation bounds can be achieved under mild assumptions. This talk is based on joint works with Sean O'Rourke and Van Vu.
