  My Doctoral dissertation was on the design, implementation and analysis of randomized algorithms for scalable mining of terabyte sized matrices on distributed-memory platforms. My research primarily focused on three fundamental problems pervasive throughout large-scale data analytics where randomized algorithms have demonstrated significant impact over the state-of-the-art: Least Squares Regression, Low Rank Approximation and large-scale Kernel Learning.

  The goal was to come up with an approach for estimating aggregate demand of the quantity of deals sold for local services for a certain division, merchant and service category over different time intervals. The key contribution was identifying different sets of features and their relative influence in predicting local demand, understanding their interrelationships and selecting those groups of features that best estimate the aggregate demand.
