We consider ℓ1-Rank-r Approximation over GF(2), where for a binary m× n matrix \bf A and a positive integer r, one seeks a binary matrix \bf B of rank at most r, minimizing the column-sum norm ||\bf A -\bf B||1. We show that for every ε∈ (0, 1), there is a randomized (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for ℓ1-Rank-r Approximation over GF(2) of running time mO(1)n^O(24r⋅ ε-4). This is the first polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for this problem.
