Quantum-inspired classical algorithms have dequantized several quantum machine learning routines by replacing quantum linear-algebra subroutines with classical counterparts. However, the sampler based on quantum singular value transformation (QSVT) for learning with optimized random features is not covered by existing dequantization frameworks, because the matrix to be inverted is not itself available through sampling access. In this work, we develop a classical algorithm to address this type of quantum-advantage candidate. Our method samples heavy indices, reduces the transformation to a small principal block, and outputs a sparse classical representation with operator-norm guarantees. Applying this method dequantizes the sampler for optimized random features, giving a classical sampler with prescribed accuracy and polynomially related runtime. These results show that the factorization underlying a quantum block encoding can itself provide sufficient classical structure even when sampling-and-query access to the composite matrix is unavailable.
