Hey Deb, If your goal is to solve the subproblems in ALS, exploring sparsity doesn't give you much benefit because the data is small and dense. Porting either ECOS's or PDCO's implementation but using dense representation should be sufficient. Feel free to open a JIRA and we can move our discussion there.
