In this paper, we study the problem of non-adaptive group testing, in which one seeks to identify which items are defective given a set of suitably-designed tests whose outcomes indicate whether or not at least one defective item was…
The goal of combinatorial group testing is to efficiently identify up to $d$ defective items in a large population of $n$ items, where $d \ll n$. Defective items satisfy certain properties while the remaining items in the population do not.…
In this paper, we introduce a variation of the group testing problem capturing the idea that a positive test requires a combination of multiple ``types'' of item. Specifically, we assume that there are multiple disjoint \emph{semi-defective…
We study the problem of identifying a small set $k\sim n^\theta$, $0<\theta<1$, of infected individuals within a large population of size $n$ by testing groups of individuals simultaneously. All tests are conducted concurrently. The goal is…
Identification of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name of group testing. It involves grouping subsets of items into different pools and detecting defective members based…
In this paper, we consider the group testing problem with adaptive test designs and noisy outcomes. We propose a computationally efficient four-stage procedure with components including random binning, identification of bins containing…
Various alignment problems arising in cryo-electron microscopy, community detection, time synchronization, computer vision, and other fields fall into a common framework of synchronization problems over compact groups such as Z/L, U(1), or…
Group testing is a technique which avoids individually testing $n$ samples for a rare disease and instead tests $n < p$ pools, where a pool consists of a mixture of small, equal portions of a subset of the $p$ samples. Group testing saves…
In the group testing problem, the goal is to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on tests whose outcomes indicate whether any defective item is present. This problem is relevant in areas such as medical…
We study quantum sparse recovery in non-orthogonal, overcomplete dictionaries: given coherent quantum access to a state and a dictionary of vectors, the goal is to reconstruct the state up to $\ell_2$ error using as few vectors as possible.…
Approximate message passing (AMP) refers to a class of efficient algorithms for statistical estimation in high-dimensional problems such as compressed sensing and low-rank matrix estimation. This paper analyzes the performance of AMP in the…
We consider the problem of group testing (pooled testing), first introduced by Dorfman. For non-adaptive testing strategies, we refer to a non-defective item as `intruding' if it only appears in positive tests. Such items cause…
This work presents an adaptive group testing framework for the range-based high dimensional near neighbor search problem. Our method efficiently marks each item in a database as neighbor or non-neighbor of a query point, based on a cosine…
Approximate message passing (AMP) is a family of iterative algorithms that generalize matrix power iteration. AMP algorithms are known to optimally solve many average-case optimization problems. In this paper, we show that a large class of…
The study in group testing aims to develop strategies to identify a small set of defective items among a large population using a few pooled tests. The established techniques have been highly beneficial in a broad spectrum of applications…
We consider a novel group testing procedure, termed semi-quantitative group testing, motivated by a class of problems arising in genome sequence processing. Semi-quantitative group testing (SQGT) is a non-binary pooling scheme that may be…
The principal goal of Group Testing (GT) is to identify a small subset of "defective" items from a large population, by grouping items into as few test pools as possible. The test outcome of a pool is positive if it contains at least one…
Purpose: Undersampling is used to reduce the scan time for high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance imaging. In order to achieve better image quality and avoid manual parameter tuning, we propose a probabilistic Bayesian approach to recover…
Recent medical imaging studies have given rise to distinct but inter-related datasets corresponding to multiple experimental tasks or longitudinal visits. Standard scalar-on-image regression models that fit each dataset separately are not…
In this paper, we tackle the compressive phase retrieval problem in the presence of noise. The noisy compressive phase retrieval problem is to recover a $K$-sparse complex signal $s \in \mathbb{C}^n$, from a set of $m$ noisy quadratic…
