We study the sample complexity of stochastic convex optimization when problem parameters, e.g., the distance to optimality, are unknown. We pursue two strategies. First, we develop a reliable model selection method that avoids overfitting…

Classifiers based on sparse representations have recently been shown to provide excellent results in many visual recognition and classification tasks. However, the high cost of computing sparse representations at test time is a major…

Sparse sensor array selection arises in many engineering applications, where it is imperative to obtain maximum spatial resolution from a limited number of array elements. Recent research shows that computational complexity of array…

The data-driven sparse methods such as synthesis dictionary learning (e.g., K-SVD) and sparsifying transform learning have been proven effective in image denoising. However, they are intrinsically single-scale which can lead to suboptimal…

Deep neural networks often have millions of parameters. This can hinder their deployment to low-end devices, not only due to high memory requirements but also because of increased latency at inference. We propose a novel model compression…

In this work we show that Evolution Strategies (ES) are a viable method for learning non-differentiable parameters of large supervised models. ES are black-box optimization algorithms that estimate distributions of model parameters; however…
