The popular Lasso approach for sparse estimation can be derived via marginalization of a joint density associated with a particular stochastic model. A different marginalization of the same probabilistic model leads to a different…
This paper treats the problem of minimizing a general continuously differentiable function subject to sparsity constraints. We present and analyze several different optimality criteria which are based on the notions of stationarity and…
Dictionaries are collections of vectors used for representations of elements in Euclidean spaces. While recent research on optimal dictionaries is focussed on providing sparse (i.e., $\ell_0$-optimal,) representations, here we consider the…
Sparse clustering, which aims to find a proper partition of an extremely high-dimensional data set with redundant noise features, has been attracted more and more interests in recent years. The existing studies commonly solve the problem in…
We consider a general class of constrained optimization problems with an additional $\ell_0$- sparsity term in the objective function. Based on a recent reformulation of this difficult $\ell_0$-term, we consider a nonsmooth penalty approach…
This paper deals with the problem of finding suboptimal values of an unknown function on the basis of measured data corrupted by bounded noise. As a prior, we assume that the unknown function is parameterized in terms of a number of basis…
In high-dimensional linear regression, the goal pursued here is to estimate an unknown regression function using linear combinations of a suitable set of covariates. One of the key assumptions for the success of any statistical procedure in…
In this paper we consider the dictionary learning problem for sparse representation. We first show that this problem is NP-hard by polynomial time reduction of the densest cut problem. Then, using successive convex approximation strategies,…
Additive regression provides an extension of linear regression by modeling the signal of a response as a sum of functions of covariates of relatively low complexity. We study penalized estimation in high-dimensional nonparametric additive…
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…
Sparsity promoting regularization is an important technique for signal reconstruction and several other ill-posed problems. Theoretical investigation typically bases on the assumption that the unknown solution has a sparse representation…
In this paper, based on a successively accuracy-increasing approximation of the $\ell_0$ norm, we propose a new algorithm for recovery of sparse vectors from underdetermined measurements. The approximations are realized with a certain class…
We study the robust mean estimation problem in high dimensions, where $\alpha <0.5$ fraction of the data points can be arbitrarily corrupted. Motivated by compressive sensing, we formulate the robust mean estimation problem as the…
Recently, \cite{CRT,DonohoPol} theoretically analyzed the success of a polynomial $\ell_1$-optimization algorithm in solving an under-determined system of linear equations. In a large dimensional and statistical context \cite{CRT,DonohoPol}…
High-dimensional data often lie in low-dimensional subspaces corresponding to different classes they belong to. Finding sparse representations of data points in a dictionary built using the collection of data helps to uncover…
We present a convex formulation of dictionary learning for sparse signal decomposition. Convexity is obtained by replacing the usual explicit upper bound on the dictionary size by a convex rank-reducing term similar to the trace norm. In…
We address the problem of estimating a sparse low-rank matrix from its noisy observation. We propose an objective function consisting of a data-fidelity term and two parameterized non-convex penalty functions. Further, we show how to set…
In this chapter, we discuss recent work on learning sparse approximations to high-dimensional functions on data, where the target functions may be scalar-, vector- or even Hilbert space-valued. Our main objective is to study how the…
Compressive sensing predicts that sufficiently sparse vectors can be recovered from highly incomplete information. Efficient recovery methods such as $\ell_1$-minimization find the sparsest solution to certain systems of equations. Random…
Sparse coding and dictionary learning are popular techniques for linear inverse problems such as denoising or inpainting. However in many cases, the measurement process is nonlinear, for example for clipped, quantized or 1-bit measurements.…
