We present a simple and effective algorithm for the problem of \emph{sparse robust linear regression}. In this problem, one would like to estimate a sparse vector $w^* \in \mathbb{R}^n$ from linear measurements corrupted by sparse noise…

We address the problem of recovering a sparse $n$-vector within a given subspace. This problem is a subtask of some approaches to dictionary learning and sparse principal component analysis. Hence, if we can prove scaling laws for recovery…

Many models for sparse regression typically assume that the covariates are known completely, and without noise. Particularly in high-dimensional applications, this is often not the case. This paper develops efficient OMP-like algorithms to…
