We give a classical algorithm for linear regression analogous to the quantum matrix inversion algorithm [Harrow, Hassidim, and Lloyd, Physical Review Letters'09] for low-rank matrices [Wossnig et al., Physical Review Letters'18], when the input matrix $A$ is stored in a data structure applicable for QRAM-based state preparation. Namely, given an $A \in \mathbb{C}^{m\times n}$ with minimum singular value $\sigma$ and which supports certain efficient $\ell_2$-norm importance sampling queries… Expand
