We derive new results for the performance of a simple greedy algorithm for finding large independent sets and matchings in constant degree regular graphs. We show that for $r$-regular graphs with $n$ nodes and girth at least $g$, the…
In recent years, many test case prioritization (TCP) techniques have been proposed to speed up the process of fault detection. However, little work has taken the efficiency problem of these techniques into account. In this paper, we target…
We study a fundamental problem in Bayesian learning, where the goal is to select a set of data sources with minimum cost while achieving a certain learning performance based on the data streams provided by the selected data sources. First,…
Large-scale constrained optimization problems are at the core of many tasks in control, signal processing, and machine learning. Notably, problems with functional constraints arise when, beyond a performance{\nobreakdash-}centric goal…
A grouping-circular-based (GCB) greedy algorithm is proposed to promote the efficiency of mesh deformation. By incorporating the multigrid concept that the computational errors on the fine mesh can be approximated with those on the coarse…
Greedy algorithm are in widespread use for sparse recovery because of its efficiency. But some evident flaws exists in most popular greedy algorithms, such as CoSaMP, which includes unreasonable demands on prior knowledge of target signal…
We investigate the performance of the standard Greedy algorithm for cardinality constrained maximization of non-submodular nondecreasing set functions. While there are strong theoretical guarantees on the performance of Greedy for…
Bandit learning algorithms typically involve the balance of exploration and exploitation. However, in many practical applications, worst-case scenarios needing systematic exploration are seldom encountered. In this work, we consider a…
Forward-backward selection is one of the most basic and commonly-used feature selection algorithms available. It is also general and conceptually applicable to many different types of data. In this paper, we propose a heuristic that…
We present a simple greedy procedure to compute an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner for a graph $G$. We then show that this procedure is useful for building fault-tolerant spanners, as well as spanners for weighted graphs. Our first main result is…
We consider the subset selection problem for function $f$ with constraint bound $B$ that changes over time. Within the area of submodular optimization, various greedy approaches are commonly used. For dynamic environments we observe that…
We consider a variable metric and inexact version of the FISTA-type algorithm considered in (Chambolle, Pock, 2016, Calatroni, Chambolle, 2019) for the minimization of the sum of two (possibly strongly) convex functions. The proposed…
This paper proposes two proximal Newton-CG methods for convex nonsmooth optimization problems in composite form. The algorithms are based on a a reformulation of the original nonsmooth problem as the unconstrained minimization of a…
This paper addresses the problem of neighborhood selection for Gaussian graphical models. We present two heuristic algorithms: a forward-backward greedy algorithm for general Gaussian graphical models based on mutual information test, and a…
Recovery of sparse signals from compressed measurements constitutes an l0 norm minimization problem, which is unpractical to solve. A number of sparse recovery approaches have appeared in the literature, including l1 minimization…
Decision-making problems of sequential nature, where decisions made in the past may have an impact on the future, are used to model many practically important applications. In some real-world applications, feedback about a decision is…
Stochastic optimization algorithms update models with cheap per-iteration costs sequentially, which makes them amenable for large-scale data analysis. Such algorithms have been widely studied for structured sparse models where the sparsity…
The Kaczmarz method is an iterative algorithm for solving systems of linear equalities and inequalities, that iteratively projects onto these constraints. Recently, Strohmer and Vershynin [J. Fourier Anal. Appl., 15(2):262-278, 2009] gave a…
The Power-Relaxed Greedy Algorithm (PRGA) was introduced as a generalization of the so called Relaxed Greedy Algorithm, introduced by DeVore and Temlyakov, by replacing the relaxation parameter $1/m$ with $1/m^\alpha$, with the aim of…
We propose and analyze batch greedy heuristics for cardinality constrained maximization of non-submodular non-decreasing set functions. We consider the standard greedy paradigm, along with its distributed greedy and stochastic greedy…
