We study the problem of sparse tensor principal component analysis: given a tensor $\pmb Y = \pmb W + \lambda x^{\otimes p}$ with $\pmb W \in \otimes^p\mathbb{R}^n$ having i.i.d. Gaussian entries, the goal is to recover the $k$-sparse unit…
Given an order-$d$ tensor $\tensor A \in \R^{n \times n \times...\times n}$, we present a simple, element-wise sparsification algorithm that zeroes out all sufficiently small elements of $\tensor A$, keeps all sufficiently large elements of…
In this paper, a new method is proposed for sparse PCA based on the recursive divide-and-conquer methodology. The main idea is to separate the original sparse PCA problem into a series of much simpler sub-problems, each having a closed-form…
Suppose we have a signal y which we wish to represent using a linear combination of a number of basis atoms a_i, y=sum_i x_i a_i = Ax. The problem of finding the minimum L0 norm representation for y is a hard problem. The Basis Pursuit (BP)…
For statistical modeling wherein the data regime is unfavorable in terms of dimensionality relative to the sample size, finding hidden sparsity in the ground truth can be critical in formulating an accurate statistical model. The so-called…
For high-dimensional sparse parameter estimation problems, Log-Sum Penalty (LSP) regularization effectively reduces the sampling sizes in practice. However, it still lacks theoretical analysis to support the experience from previous…
In exact sparse optimization problems on Rd (also known as sparsity constrained problems), one looks for solution that have few nonzero components. In this paper, we consider problems where sparsity is exactly measured either by the…
We consider the decomposition of a signal over an overcomplete set of vectors. Minimization of the $\ell^1$-norm of the coefficient vector can often retrieve the sparsest solution (so-called "$\ell^1/\ell^0$-equivalence"), a generally…
Information is extracted from large and sparse data sets organized as 3-mode tensors. Two methods are described, based on best rank-(2,2,2) and rank-(2,2,1) approximation of the tensor. The first method can be considered as a generalization…
In tensor completion tasks, the traditional low-rank tensor decomposition models suffer from the laborious model selection problem due to their high model sensitivity. In particular, for tensor ring (TR) decomposition, the number of model…
The low rank tensor approximation problem (LRTAP) is to find a tensor whose rank is small and that is close to a given one. This paper studies the LRTAP when the tensor to be approximated is close to a low rank one. Both symmetric and…
Based on smoothing techniques, we propose two new methods to solve linear complementarity problems (LCP) called TLCP and Soft-Max. The idea of these two new methods takes inspiration from interior-point methods in optimization. The…
Analysis sparsity is a common prior in inverse problem or machine learning including special cases such as Total Variation regularization, Edge Lasso and Fused Lasso. We study the geometry of the solution set (a polyhedron) of the analysis…
Most adversarial attacks on point clouds perturb a large number of points, causing widespread geometric changes and limiting applicability in real-world scenarios. While recent works explore sparse attacks by modifying only a few points,…
We consider a regularization problem whose objective function consists of a convex fidelity term and a regularization term determined by the $\ell_1$ norm composed with a linear transform. Empirical results show that the regularization with…
Compressed sensing is a new scheme which shows the ability to recover sparse signal from fewer measurements, using $l_1$ minimization. Recently, Chartrand and Staneva shown in \cite{CS1} that the $l_p$ minimization with $0<p<1$ recovers…
Inverse problems and regularization theory is a central theme in contemporary signal processing, where the goal is to reconstruct an unknown signal from partial indirect, and possibly noisy, measurements of it. A now standard method for…
