Compressed sensing (CS) is a technique which uses fewer measurements than dictated by the Nyquist sampling theorem. The traditional CS with linear measurements achieves efficient recovery performances, but it suffers from the large bit…
We introduce and study several measures of complexity of functions from the convex hull of a given base class. These complexity measures take into account the sparsity of the weights of a convex combination as well as certain clustering…

We study the problem of infrequent exploration in linear bandits, addressing a significant yet overlooked gap between fully adaptive exploratory methods (e.g., UCB and Thompson Sampling), which explore potentially at every time step, and…
As children acquire the knowledge of their language's morphology, they invariably discover the productive processes that can generalize to new words. Morphological learning is made challenging by the fact that even fully productive rules…

Most systems and learning algorithms optimize average performance or average loss -- one reason being computational complexity. However, many objectives of practical interest are more complex than simply average loss. This arises, for…
Greedy algorithms are popular in compressive sensing for their high computational efficiency. But the performance of current greedy algorithms can be degenerated seriously by noise (both multiplicative noise and additive noise). A robust…
The greedy strategy is an approximation algorithm to solve optimization problems arising in decision making with multiple actions. How good is the greedy strategy compared to the optimal solution? In this survey, we mainly consider two…
