We study the problem of recovering a structured signal $\mathbf{x}_0$ from high-dimensional data $\mathbf{y}_i=f(\mathbf{a}_i^T\mathbf{x}_0)$ for some nonlinear (and potentially unknown) link function $f$, when the regressors $\mathbf{a}_i$…

Scaled sparse linear regression jointly estimates the regression coefficients and noise level in a linear model. It chooses an equilibrium with a sparse regression method by iteratively estimating the noise level via the mean residual…

In this paper, we study the issue of estimating a structured signal $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}^n$ from non-linear and noisy Gaussian observations. Supposing that $x_0$ is contained in a certain convex subset $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we prove that…

The aim of sparse phase retrieval is to recover a $k$-sparse signal $\mathbf{x}_0\in \mathbb{C}^{d}$ from quadratic measurements $|\langle \mathbf{a}_i,\mathbf{x}_0\rangle|^2$ where $\mathbf{a}_i\in \mathbb{C}^d, i=1,\ldots,m$. Noting…
