Numerous applications in data mining and machine learning require recovering a matrix of minimal rank. Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) is a general framework for handling this kind of problems. Nuclear norm based convex surrogate…

In this paper, we consider the problem of Robust Matrix Completion (RMC) where the goal is to recover a low-rank matrix by observing a small number of its entries out of which a few can be arbitrarily corrupted. We propose a simple…

Robust PCA is a widely used statistical procedure to recover a underlying low-rank matrix with grossly corrupted observations. This work considers the problem of robust PCA as a nonconvex optimization problem on the manifold of low-rank…

In recent work, robust Principal Components Analysis (PCA) has been posed as a problem of recovering a low-rank matrix $\mathbf{L}$ and a sparse matrix $\mathbf{S}$ from their sum, $\mathbf{M}:= \mathbf{L} + \mathbf{S}$ and a provably exact…

We consider the convex minimization model with both linear equality and inequality constraints, and reshape the classic augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) by balancing its subproblems. As a result, one of its subproblems decouples the…

We propose Matrix ALPS for recovering a sparse plus low-rank decomposition of a matrix given its corrupted and incomplete linear measurements. Our approach is a first-order projected gradient method over non-convex sets, and it exploits a…

In this paper, we propose an inexact Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) for the optimization of convex and nonsmooth objective functions subject to linear equality constraints and box constraints where errors are due to fixed-point data. To…

The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is a benchmark for convex programming problems with linear constraints; ALM and its variants for linearly equality-constrained convex minimization models have been well studied in the literature.…

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for recovery of low-rank matrices from compressed linear measurements. The underlying idea of this algorithm is to closely approximate the rank function with a smooth function of singular values,…

Mining useful clusters from high dimensional data has received significant attention of the computer vision and pattern recognition community in the recent years. Linear and non-linear dimensionality reduction has played an important role…

This work investigates the convergence behavior of augmented Lagrangian methods (ALMs) when applied to convex optimization problems that may be infeasible. ALMs are a popular class of algorithms for solving constrained optimization…

The Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) is an iterative method for the solution of equality-constrained non-linear programming problems. In contrast to the quadratic penalty method, the ALM can satisfy equality constraints in an exact way.…

We propose a new method for robust PCA -- the task of recovering a low-rank matrix from sparse corruptions that are of unknown value and support. Our method involves alternating between projecting appropriate residuals onto the set of…

Augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) has been popularly used for solving constrained optimization problems. Practically, subproblems for updating primal variables in the framework of ALM usually can only be solved inexactly. The convergence…

We consider the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) as a solver for the fused lasso signal approximator (FLSA) problem. The ALM is a dual method in which squares of the constraint functions are added as penalties to the Lagrangian. In order…

We present a numerical method for the minimization of constrained optimization problems where the objective is augmented with large quadratic penalties of inconsistent equality constraints. Such objectives arise from quadratic integral…

We consider the problem of Robust PCA in the fully and partially observed settings. Without corruptions, this is the well-known matrix completion problem. From a statistical standpoint this problem has been recently well-studied, and…

To construct a parallel approach for solving optimization problems with orthogonality constraints is usually regarded as an extremely difficult mission, due to the low scalability of the orthonormalization procedure. However, such demand is…
