The problem of 1-bit compressive sampling is addressed in this paper. We introduce an optimization model for reconstruction of sparse signals from 1-bit measurements. The model targets a solution that has the least l0-norm among all signals…

In this work, we study the problem of reconstructing a sparse signal from a limited number of linear 'incoherent' noisy measurements, when a part of its support is known. The known part of the support may be available from prior knowledge…

We consider estimation models of the form $Y=X^*+N$, where $X^*$ is some $m$-dimensional signal we wish to recover, and $N$ is symmetrically distributed noise that may be unbounded in all but a small $\alpha$ fraction of the entries. We…

We introduce the notion of a reproducible algorithm in the context of learning. A reproducible learning algorithm is resilient to variations in its samples -- with high probability, it returns the exact same output when run on two samples…

We study learning problems in which the underlying class is a bounded subset of $L_p$ and the target $Y$ belongs to $L_p$. Previously, minimax sample complexity estimates were known under such boundedness assumptions only when $p=\infty$.…
