| contents | A way to lower computational cost in large scale inverse problems and problems depending on poorly known model parameters is to replace the detailed model by an approximate one. Inverse problems are typically ill-posed, and the model discrepancy introduced by using approximate models often shows up in the computed solutions as disturbing artifacts or blurring. In this article, we consider two methods of addressing certain types of modeling errors, the Bayesian approximation error (BAE) method and linear algebraic spotlight inversion to suppress clutter in the computational model by orthogonal projections. Through the process of analyzing the two approaches, we show that they turn out to be closely related but not equivalent, and we highlight a connection to sketching schemes in randomized linear algebra. The similarities between the methods and their successful suppression of most of the clutter effects is elucidated with two computed examples, one addressing of X-ray tomography and the other electrical impedance tomography. |
