Robust explanations of machine learning models are critical to establish human trust in the models. Due to limited cognition capability, most humans can only interpret the top few salient features. It is critical to make top salient…

Recovering a sparse signal from outlier-contaminated measurements is a fundamental challenge in many applications. While existing algorithms predominantly address scenarios with bounded noise or assume known signal sparsity, few methods…
