Given a linear regression setting, Iterative Least Trimmed Squares (ILTS) involves alternating between (a) selecting the subset of samples with lowest current loss, and (b) re-fitting the linear model only on that subset. Both steps are…

Least squares (LS) fitting is one of the most fundamental techniques in science and engineering. It is used to estimate parameters from multiple noisy observations. In many problems the parameters are known a-priori to be bounded integer…

We consider a regularized least squares problem, with regularization by structured sparsity-inducing norms, which extend the usual $\ell_1$ and the group lasso penalty, by allowing the subsets to overlap. Such regularizations lead to…

Iteratively reweighted L1 (IRL1) algorithm is a common algorithm for solving sparse optimization problems with nonconvex and nonsmooth regularization. The development of its acceleration algorithm, often employing Nesterov acceleration, has…

Image restoration is typically addressed through non-convex inverse problems, which are often solved using first-order block-wise splitting methods. In this paper, we consider a general type of non-convex optimisation model that captures…

We consider the estimation of the state transition matrix in vector autoregressive models, when time sequence data is limited but nonsequence steady-state data is abundant. To leverage both sources of data, we formulate the least squares…

This work proposes a general learned proximal alternating minimization algorithm, LPAM, for solving learnable two-block nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems. We tackle the nonsmoothness by an appropriate smoothing technique with…

We propose two numerical algorithms in the fully nonconvex setting for the minimization of the sum of a smooth function and the composition of a nonsmooth function with a linear operator. The iterative schemes are formulated in the spirit…

This paper introduces a smoothed proximal Lagrangian method for minimizing a nonconvex smooth function over a convex domain with additional explicit convex nonlinear constraints. Two key features are 1) the proposed method is single-looped,…

The iteratively reweighted l1 algorithm is a widely used method for solving various regularization problems, which generally minimize a differentiable loss function combined with a nonconvex regularizer to induce sparsity in the solution.…

Minimax optimization recently is widely applied in many machine learning tasks such as generative adversarial networks, robust learning and reinforcement learning. In the paper, we study a class of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax optimization…

In this paper, we discuss the acceleration of the regularized alternating least square (RALS) algorithm for tensor approximation. We propose a fast iterative method using a Aitken-Stefensen like updates for the regularized algorithm.…

We present a generalized formulation for reweighted least squares approximations. The goal of this article is twofold: firstly, to prove that the solution of such problem can be expressed as a convex combination of certain interpolants when…

In this paper we propose a proximal algorithm for minimizing an objective function of two block variables consisting of three terms: 1) a smooth function, 2) a nonsmooth function which is a composition between a strictly increasing,…

We propose a new randomized algorithm for solving convex optimization problems that have a large number of constraints (with high probability). Existing methods like interior-point or Newton-type algorithms are hard to apply to such…

Nonlinear least-squares problems are a special class of unconstrained optimization problems in which their gradient and Hessian have special structures. In this paper, we exploit these structures and proposed a matrix-free algorithm with a…

This paper investigates the optimality analysis of the recursive least-squares (RLS) algorithm for autoregressive systems with exogenous inputs (ARX systems). A key challenge in analyzing is managing the potential unboundedness of the…
