Assume you encounter an inverse problem that shall be solved for a large number of data, but no ground-truth data is available. To emulate this encounter, in this study, we assume it is unknown how to solve the imaging problem of Computed…

We study the problem of corrupted sensing, a generalization of compressed sensing in which one aims to recover a signal from a collection of corrupted or unreliable measurements. While an arbitrary signal cannot be recovered in the face of…
