We propose maximum likelihood estimation for learning Gaussian graphical models with a Gaussian (ell_2^2) prior on the parameters. This is in contrast to the commonly used Laplace (ell_1) prior for encouraging sparseness. We show that our…

It has been shown both experimentally and theoretically that sparse signal recovery can be significantly improved given that part of the signal's support is known \emph{a priori}. In practice, however, such prior knowledge is usually…
