The Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform (JLT) prescribes that there exists a matrix of size `k x d`, where `k = O(1/eps^2 log d)` such that with high probability, a matrix A drawn from this distribution preserves pairwise distances up to epsilon (e.g. `(1-eps) * ||x-y|| < ||Ax - Ay|| < (1+eps) ||x-y||`). This paper was the first paper to show that you can actually compute the JLT in less that `O(kd)` operations (e.g. you don't need to do the full matrix multiplication). They used their faster algorithm to construct one of the fastest known approximate nearest neighbor algorithms.

The JLT is still computationally expensive for a lot of applications and one goal would be to minimize the overall operations needed to do the aforementioned matrix multiplication. This paper showed that a goal of a `O(k log d)` algorithm (e.g. `(log(d))^2)` may be attainable by showing that very sparse, structured random matrices could provide the *JL* guarantee on pairwise distances.

This paper attempts to layout the generic mathematical framework (in terms of convex analysis and functional analysis) for sparse dimensionality reduction. The first author is a Fields Medalist who is interested in taking techniques for Banach Spaces and applying them to this problem. This paper is a very technical paper that attempts to answer the question, "when does a sparse embedding exist deterministically?" (e.g. doesn't require drawing random matrices).
