We give an algorithm for $\ell_2/\ell_2$ sparse recovery from Fourier measurements using $O(k\log N)$ samples, matching the lower bound of \cite{DIPW} for non-adaptive algorithms up to constant factors for any $k\leq N^{1-\delta}$. The…
We introduce a \emph{batch} version of sparse recovery, where the goal is to report a sequence of vectors $A_1',\ldots,A_m' \in \mathbb{R}^n$ that estimate unknown signals $A_1,\ldots,A_m \in \mathbb{R}^n$ using a few linear measurements,…
In this paper, we study the support recovery guarantees of underdetermined sparse regression using the $\ell_1$-norm as a regularizer and a non-smooth loss function for data fidelity. More precisely, we focus in detail on the cases of…
We study oblivious sketching for $k$-sparse linear regression under various loss functions such as an $\ell_p$ norm, or from a broad class of hinge-like loss functions, which includes the logistic and ReLU losses. We show that for sparse…
We describe a probabilistic, {\it sublinear} runtime, measurement-optimal system for model-based sparse recovery problems through dimensionality reducing, {\em dense} random matrices. Specifically, we obtain a linear sketch $u\in \R^M$ of a…
Sparse estimation methods are aimed at using or obtaining parsimonious representations of data or models. While naturally cast as a combinatorial optimization problem, variable or feature selection admits a convex relaxation through the…
Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a limited number of noisy linear measurements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In the high-dimensional setting, it is known that recovery with a…
The goal of (stable) sparse recovery is to recover a $k$-sparse approximation $x*$ of a vector $x$ from linear measurements of $x$. Specifically, the goal is to recover $x*$ such that ||x-x*||_p <= C min_{k-sparse x'} ||x-x'||_q for some…
In this paper we continue to develop the following general approach. We study asymptotic behavior of the errors of sampling recovery not for an individual smoothness class, how it is usually done, but for the collection of classes, which…
The constrained $\ell_p^p/\ell_q^p$ ratio model is scale invariant and is therefore attractive for sparse signal recovery. However, its nonconvex, nonsmooth, and fractional structure makes a unified theoretical and algorithmic analysis…
