When uncertainty meets costly information gathering, a fundamental question emerges: which data points should we probe to unlock near-optimal solutions? Sparsification of stochastic packing problems addresses this trade-off. The existing…

The number of available algorithms for the so-called Basis Pursuit Denoising problem (or the related LASSO-problem) is large and keeps growing. Similarly, the number of experiments to evaluate and compare these algorithms on different…

Path-following algorithms are frequently used in composite optimization problems where a series of subproblems, with varying regularization hyperparameters, are solved sequentially. By reusing the previous solutions as initialization,…

Building upon the results in [Hinterm\"uller et al., SIAM J. Optim, '15], generalized Nash equilibrium problems are considered, in which the feasible set of each player is influenced by the decisions of their competitors. This is realized…

Recently, the worse-case analysis, probabilistic analysis and empirical justification have been employed to address the fundamental question: When does $\ell_1$-minimization find the sparsest solution to an underdetermined linear system? In…

The support recovery problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of variables that is relevant in generating a set of observations, and arises in a diverse range of settings such as compressive sensing, and subset selection in…

This thesis presents two similarity-based approaches to sparse data problems. The first approach is to build soft, hierarchical clusters: soft, because each event belongs to each cluster with some probability; hierarchical, because cluster…

This paper focuses on the estimation of low-complexity signals when they are observed through $M$ uniformly quantized compressive observations. Among such signals, we consider 1-D sparse vectors, low-rank matrices, or compressible signals…

Data scarcity poses a serious threat to modern machine learning and artificial intelligence, as their practical success typically relies on the availability of big datasets. One effective strategy to mitigate the issue of insufficient data…

This paper aims at enlarging the problem of Neural Architecture Search (NAS) from Single-Path and Multi-Path Search to automated Mixed-Path Search. In particular, we model the NAS problem as a sparse supernet using a new continuous…

In this paper we present a new coherence-based performance guarantee for the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm. A lower bound for the probability of correctly identifying the support of a sparse signal with additive white Gaussian…

We initiate the study of approximation algorithms and computational barriers for constructing sparse $\alpha$-navigable graphs [IX23, DGM+24], a core primitive underlying recent advances in graph-based nearest neighbor search. Given an…

Carleson and sparse collections of sets play a central role in dyadic harmonic analysis. We employ methods from optimization theory to study such collections. First, we present a strongly polynomial algorithm to compute the Carleson…

Differentiable architecture search (DARTS) is a promising end to end NAS method which directly optimizes the architecture parameters through general gradient descent. However, DARTS is brittle to the catastrophic failure incurred by the…

Subspace tracking is a fundamental problem in signal processing, where the goal is to estimate and track the underlying subspace that spans a sequence of data streams over time. In high-dimensional settings, data samples are often corrupted…

In subspace clustering, a group of data points belonging to a union of subspaces are assigned membership to their respective subspaces. This paper presents a new approach dubbed Innovation Pursuit (iPursuit) to the problem of subspace…

We discuss a strategy of sparse approximation that is based on the use of an overcomplete basis, and evaluate its performance when a random matrix is used as this basis. A small combination of basis vectors is chosen from a given…

There is a growing interest in automated neural architecture search (NAS). To improve the efficiency of NAS, previous approaches adopt weight sharing method to force all models share the same set of weights. However, it has been observed…

Two popular examples of first-order optimization methods over linear spaces are coordinate descent and matching pursuit algorithms, with their randomized variants. While the former targets the optimization by moving along coordinates, the…

While the field of Quality-Diversity (QD) has grown into a distinct branch of stochastic optimization, a few problems, in particular locomotion and navigation tasks, have become de facto standards. Are such benchmarks sufficient? Are they…
