In the $k$-Cut problem, we are given an edge-weighted graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and have to remove a set of edges with minimum total weight so that $G$ has at least $k$ connected components. Prior work on this problem gives, for all $h…
We consider the sparse moment problem of learning a $k$-spike mixture in high-dimensional space from its noisy moment information in any dimension. We measure the accuracy of the learned mixtures using transportation distance. Previous…
The FFT algorithm that implements the discrete Fourier transform is considered one of the top ten algorithms of the $20$th century. Its main strengths are the low computational cost of $\mathcal{O}(n \log n$) and its stability. It is one of…
In this paper, we establish sample complexity bounds for learning high-dimensional simplices in $\mathbb{R}^K$ from noisy data. Specifically, we consider $n$ i.i.d. samples uniformly drawn from an unknown simplex in $\mathbb{R}^K$, each…
Expand-and-sparsify representations are a class of theoretical models that capture sparse representation phenomena observed in the sensory systems of many animals. At a high level, these representations map an input $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$ to…
We consider the classical 1D phase retrieval problem. In order to overcome the difficulties associated with phase retrieval from measurements of the Fourier magnitude, we treat recovery from the magnitude of the short-time Fourier transform…
The problems of random projections and sparse reconstruction have much in common and individually received much attention. Surprisingly, until now they progressed in parallel and remained mostly separate. Here, we employ new tools from…
Recently, a class of algorithms combining classical fixed point iterations with repeated random sparsification of approximate solution vectors has been successfully applied to eigenproblems with matrices as large as $10^{108} \times…
In this paper, we derive a new reconstruction method for real non-harmonic Fourier sums, i.e., real signals which can be represented as sparse exponential sums of the form $f(t) = \sum_{j=1}^{K} \gamma_{j} \, \cos(2\pi a_{j} t + b_{j})$,…
Information processing techniques based on sparseness have been actively studied in several disciplines. Among them, a mathematical framework to approximately express a given dataset by a combination of a small number of basis vectors of an…
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…
Information about microscopic objects with features smaller than the diffraction limit is almost entirely lost in a far-field diffraction image but could be partly recovered with data completition techniques. Any such approach critically…
We study the k nearest neighbors problem in the plane for general, convex, pairwise disjoint sites of constant description complexity such as line segments, disks, and quadrilaterals and with respect to a general family of distance…
In recent years, phase retrieval has received much attention in statistics, applied mathematics and optical engineering. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm, termed Subspace Phase Retrieval (SPR), which can accurately recover…
This paper discusses the topic of dimensionality reduction for $k$-means clustering. We prove that any set of $n$ points in $d$ dimensions (rows in a matrix $A \in \RR^{n \times d}$) can be projected into $t = \Omega(k / \eps^2)$…

We initiate the study of trade-offs between sparsity and the number of measurements in sparse recovery schemes for generic norms. Specifically, for a norm $\|\cdot\|$, sparsity parameter $k$, approximation factor $K>0$, and probability of…
We present $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ estimators for the small-scale power spectrum and bispectrum in cosmological simulations. In combination with traditional methods, these allow spectra to be efficiently computed across a vast range of scales,…
Consider the problem of reconstructing a multidimensional signal from an underdetermined set of measurements, as in the setting of compressed sensing. Without any additional assumptions, this problem is ill-posed. However, for signals such…
