We give the first computationally tractable and almost optimal solution to
the problem of one-bit compressed sensing, showing how to accurately recover an
s-sparse vector x in R^n from the signs of O(s log^2(n/s)) random linear
measurements of x. The recovery is achieved by a simple linear program. This
result extends to approximately sparse vectors x. Our result is universal in
the sense that with high probability, one measurement scheme will successfully
recover all sparse vectors simultaneously. The argument is based on solving an
equivalent geometric problem on random hyperplane tessellations.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure, to appear in CPAM. Small changes based on referee
