What is random projection in dimensionality reduction?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Random projection reduces dimensions using random matrices while preserving distances approximately.
Deep explanation
Based on Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma, high-dimensional data can be projected into lower dimensions using random Gaussian or sparse matrices while preserving pairwise distances.
