Convex relaxations have emerged as a promising approach for verifying desirable properties of neural networks like robustness to adversarial perturbations. Widely used Linear Programming (LP) relaxations only work well when networks are…

We introduce fast randomized algorithms for solving semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations of the partial permutation synchronization (PPS) problem, a core task in multi-image matching with significant relevance to 3D reconstruction.…

The recent advancement of foundation models (FMs) has brought about a paradigm shift, revolutionizing various sectors worldwide. The popular optimizers used to train these models are stochastic gradient descent-based algorithms, which face…

In contrast with many other convex optimization classes, state-of-the-art semidefinite programming solvers are yet unable to efficiently solve large scale instances. This work aims to reduce this scalability gap by proposing a novel…

The problem of recovering a low-rank matrix from a set of observations corrupted with gross sparse error is known as the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) and has many applications in computer vision, image processing and web data…

Most high-dimensional matrix recovery problems are studied under the assumption that the target matrix has certain intrinsic structures. For image data related matrix recovery problems, approximate low-rankness and smoothness are the two…

Commonly used in computer vision and other applications, robust PCA represents an algorithmic attempt to reduce the sensitivity of classical PCA to outliers. The basic idea is to learn a decomposition of some data matrix of interest into…

Statistical preconditioning enables fast methods for distributed large-scale empirical risk minimization problems. In this approach, multiple worker nodes compute gradients in parallel, which are then used by the central node to update the…

In recent years, low-rank based tensor completion, which is a higher-order extension of matrix completion, has received considerable attention. However, the low-rank assumption is not sufficient for the recovery of visual data, such as…

Preconditioning has long been a staple technique in optimization, often applied to reduce the condition number of a matrix and speed up the convergence of algorithms. Although there are many popular preconditioning techniques in practice,…

We propose a novel methodology for solving a two-stage adjustable robust convex optimisation problem with a general (proximable) convex objective function and constraints defined by sum-of-squares (SOS) convex polynomials. These problems…

Blind image deblurring is a long standing challenging problem in image processing and low-level vision. Recently, sophisticated priors such as dark channel prior, extreme channel prior, and local maximum gradient prior, have shown promising…

Low rank matrix recovery problems appear widely in statistics, combinatorics, and imaging. One celebrated method for solving these problems is to formulate and solve a semidefinite program (SDP). It is often known that the exact solution to…

The convergence rates of iterative methods for solving a linear system $\mathbf{A} x = b$ typically depend on the condition number of the matrix $\mathbf{A}$. Preconditioning is a common way of speeding up these methods by reducing that…

Sparse Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) is a fundamental technique for dimensionality reduction, and is NP-hard. In this paper, we introduce a randomized approximation algorithm for SPCA, which is based on the basic SDP relaxation. Our…
