Robust principal component analysis is an important representative method in data analysis. It is usually viewed as an optimization problem involving the rank and $\ell_0$-norm of matrices. In this paper, we study the rank and $\ell_0$…

In this paper, a novel pattern classification approach is proposed by regularizing the classifier learning to maximize mutual information between the classification response and the true class label. We argue that, with the learned…

The performance of principal component analysis (PCA) suffers badly in the presence of outliers. This paper proposes two novel approaches for robust PCA based on semidefinite programming. The first method, maximum mean absolute deviation…

Community detection in network analysis is an attractive research area recently. Here, under the degree-corrected mixed membership (DCMM) model, we propose an efficient approach called mixed regularized spectral clustering (Mixed-RSC for…

Multiple Kernel Learning, or MKL, extends (kernelized) SVM by attempting to learn not only a classifier/regressor but also the best kernel for the training task, usually from a combination of existing kernel functions. Most MKL methods seek…

Motivated by the recently shown connection between self-attention and (kernel) principal component analysis (PCA), we revisit the fundamentals of PCA. Using the difference-of-convex (DC) framework, we present several novel formulations and…

Max-norm regularizer has been extensively studied in the last decade as it promotes an effective low-rank estimation for the underlying data. However, such max-norm regularized problems are typically formulated and solved in a batch manner,…

In the field of machine learning there is a growing interest towards more robust and generalizable algorithms. This is for example important to bridge the gap between the environment in which the training data was collected and the…

Recent research on multiple kernel learning has lead to a number of approaches for combining kernels in regularized risk minimization. The proposed approaches include different formulations of objectives and varying regularization…

We establish Multilayer Correlation Clustering, a novel generalization of Correlation Clustering to the multilayer setting. In this model, we are given a series of inputs of Correlation Clustering (called layers) over the common set $V$ of…

Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms are known to suffer from the curse of dimensionality, which refers to the fact that large-scale problems often lead to exponentially high sample complexity. A common solution is to use deep neural…

A matrix algorithm runs superfast (aka at sublinear cost) if it involves much fewer flops and memory cells than an input matrix has entries. Big Data are frequently represented by matrices of immense sizes that cannot be handled directly…

For regularized optimization that minimizes the sum of a smooth term and a regularizer that promotes structured solutions, inexact proximal-Newton-type methods, or successive quadratic approximation (SQA) methods, are widely used for their…

The common task in matrix completion (MC) and robust principle component analysis (RPCA) is to recover a low-rank matrix from a given data matrix. These problems gained great attention from various areas in applied sciences recently,…

We are interested in the large-scale learning of Mahalanobis distances, with a particular focus on person re-identification. We propose a metric learning formulation called Weighted Approximate Rank Component Analysis (WARCA). WARCA…

Rank regularized minimization problem is an ideal model for the low-rank matrix completion/recovery problem. The matrix factorization approach can transform the high-dimensional rank regularized problem to a low-dimensional factorized…

A new framework for many multiblock component methods (including consensus and hierarchical PCA) is proposed. It is based on the consensus PCA model: a scheme connecting each block of variables to a superblock obtained by concatenation of…

Robust Model Predictive Control (MPC) for nonlinear systems is a problem that poses significant challenges as highlighted by the diversity of approaches proposed in the last decades. Often compromises with respect to computational load,…

This study focuses on solving group zero-norm regularized robust loss minimization problems. We propose a proximal Majorization-Minimization (PMM) algorithm to address a class of equivalent Difference-of-Convex (DC) surrogate optimization…

Recommender systems aim to recommend the most suitable items to users from a large number of candidates. Their computation cost grows as the number of user requests and the complexity of services (or models) increases. Under the limitation…
