For high-dimensional sparse parameter estimation problems, Log-Sum Penalty (LSP) regularization effectively reduces the sampling sizes in practice. However, it still lacks theoretical analysis to support the experience from previous…

Motivated by re-weighted $\ell_1$ approaches for sparse recovery, we propose a lifted $\ell_1$ (LL1) regularization which is a generalized form of several popular regularizations in the literature. By exploring such connections, we discover…

This paper considers the linear inverse problem where we wish to estimate a structured signal $x$ from its corrupted observations. When the problem is ill-posed, it is natural to make use of a convex function $f(\cdot)$ that exploits the…

This paper studies sparse linear regression analysis with outliers in the responses. A parameter vector for modeling outliers is added to the standard linear regression model and then the sparse estimation problem for both coefficients and…

Sparse linear regression -- finding an unknown vector from linear measurements -- is now known to be possible with fewer samples than variables, via methods like the LASSO. We consider the multiple sparse linear regression problem, where…

The aim of this paper is to introduce an adaptive penalized estimator for identifying the true reduced parametric model under the sparsity assumption. In particular, we deal with the framework where the unpenalized estimator of the…

We investigate conditions for the unique recoverability of sparse integer-valued signals from a small number of linear measurements. Both the objective of minimizing the number of nonzero components, the so-called $\ell_0$-norm, as well as…

In this paper we introduce a nonuniform sparsity model and analyze the performance of an optimized weighted $\ell_1$ minimization over that sparsity model. In particular, we focus on a model where the entries of the unknown vector fall into…

The topic of recovery of a structured model given a small number of linear observations has been well-studied in recent years. Examples include recovering sparse or group-sparse vectors, low-rank matrices, and the sum of sparse and low-rank…

We discuss a general notion of "sparsity structure" and associated recoveries of a sparse signal from its linear image of reduced dimension possibly corrupted with noise. Our approach allows for unified treatment of (a) the "usual sparsity"…

We study in this paper lower bounds for the generalization error of models derived from multi-layer neural networks, in the regime where the size of the layers is commensurate with the number of samples in the training data. We show that…

Deep neural networks have become very popular in modeling complex nonlinear processes due to their extraordinary ability to fit arbitrary nonlinear functions from data with minimal expert intervention. However, they are almost always…

We obtain bounds on estimation error rates for regularization procedures of the form \begin{equation*} \hat f \in {\rm argmin}_{f\in F}\left(\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N\left(Y_i-f(X_i)\right)^2+\lambda \Psi(f)\right) \end{equation*} when $\Psi$…

Using a multiplicative reparametrization, I show that a subclass of $L_q$ penalties with $q\leq 1$ can be expressed as sums of $L_2$ penalties. It follows that the lasso and other norm-penalized regression estimates may be obtained using a…

Neural networks are rapidly gaining interest in nonlinear system identification due to the model's ability to capture complex input-output relations directly from data. However, despite the flexibility of the approach, there are still…

An evolving line of machine learning works observe empirical evidence that suggests interpolating estimators -- the ones that achieve zero training error -- may not necessarily be harmful. This paper pursues theoretical understanding for an…

We consider a class of $\ell_0$-regularized linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control problems. This class of problems is obtained by augmenting a penalizing sparsity measure to the cost objective of the standard linear-quadratic regulator…

We consider outlier-robust and sparse estimation of linear regression coefficients, when the covariates and the noises are contaminated by adversarial outliers and noises are sampled from a heavy-tailed distribution. Our results present…
