In recent investigations, the problem of detecting edges given non-uniform Fourier data was reformulated as a sparse signal recovery problem with an l1-regularized least squares cost function. This result can also be derived by employing a…

Modern technologies are producing a wealth of data with complex structures. For instance, in two-dimensional digital imaging, flow cytometry, and electroencephalography, matrix type covariates frequently arise when measurements are obtained…

Regularization methods, specifically those which directly alter weights like $L_1$ and $L_2$, are an integral part of many learning algorithms. Both the regularizers mentioned above are formulated by assuming certain priors in the parameter…

Compressed sensing is a new methodology for constructing sensors which allow sparse signals to be efficiently recovered using only a small number of observations. The recovery problem can often be stated as the one of finding the solution…

We propose a new majorization-minimization (MM) method for non-smooth and non-convex programs, which is general enough to include the existing MM methods. Besides the local majorization condition, we only require that the difference between…

The minimization of a nonconvex composite function can model a variety of imaging tasks. A popular class of algorithms for solving such problems are majorization-minimization techniques which iteratively approximate the composite nonconvex…

We propose a method to reconstruct sparse signals degraded by a nonlinear distortion and acquired at a limited sampling rate. Our method formulates the reconstruction problem as a nonconvex minimization of the sum of a data fitting term and…

We consider a minimization problem whose objective function is the sum of a fidelity term, not necessarily convex, and a regularization term defined by a positive regularization parameter $\lambda$ multiple of the $\ell_0$ norm composed…

Estimating the values of unknown parameters from corrupted measured data faces a lot of challenges in ill-posed problems. In such problems, many fundamental estimation methods fail to provide a meaningful stabilized solution. In this work,…

Feature alignment methods are used in many scientific disciplines for data pooling, annotation, and comparison. As an instance of a permutation learning problem, feature alignment presents significant statistical and computational…

Iteratively reweighted least square (IRLS) is a popular approach to solve sparsity-enforcing regression problems in machine learning. State of the art approaches are more efficient but typically rely on specific coordinate pruning schemes.…

Signal estimation from incomplete observations improves as more signal structure can be exploited in the inference process. Classic algorithms (e.g., Kalman filtering) have exploited strong dynamic structure for time-varying signals while…

We propose a unified fractional regularization framework for sparse signal recovery based on the $\ell_1/\ell_p^q$ model. This model generalizes several widely used sparsity-promoting regularizers and provides additional flexibility through…

This article proposes diffusion LMS strategies for distributed estimation over adaptive networks that are able to exploit sparsity in the underlying system model. The approach relies on convex regularization, common in compressive sensing,…

In this paper, we discuss application of iterative Stochastic Optimization routines to the problem of sparse signal recovery from noisy observation. Using Stochastic Mirror Descent algorithm as a building block, we develop a multistage…

Machine learning algorithms typically require abundant data under a stationary environment. However, environments are nonstationary in many real-world applications. Critical issues lie in how to effectively adapt models under an…

Sparse regression and feature extraction are the cornerstones of knowledge discovery from massive data. Their goal is to discover interpretable and predictive models that provide simple relationships among scientific variables. While the…

Restricting randomization in the design of experiments (e.g., using blocking/stratification, pair-wise matching, or rerandomization) can improve the treatment-control balance on important covariates and therefore improve the estimation of…

We propose a version of least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm for sparse system identification. Our algorithm called online linearized Bregman iteration (OLBI) is derived from minimizing the cumulative prediction error squared along with an…

In system identification, estimating parameters of a model using limited observations results in poor identifiability. To cope with this issue, we propose a new method to simultaneously select and estimate sensitive parameters as key model…
