Majorization-minimization schemes are a broad class of iterative methods targeting general optimization problems, including nonconvex, nonsmooth and stochastic. These algorithms minimize successively a sequence of upper bounds of the…

In this paper, a novel modulation scheme called set partition modulation (SPM) is proposed. In this scheme, set partitioning and ordered subsets in the set partitions are used to form codewords. We define different SPM variants and depict a…

In this paper we present an active-set method for the solution of $\ell_1$-regularized convex quadratic optimization problems. It is derived by combining a proximal method of multipliers (PMM) strategy with a standard semismooth Newton…

We consider the problem of minimising functions represented as a difference of lattice submodular functions. We propose analogues to the SupSub, SubSup and ModMod routines for lattice submodular functions. We show that our…

We develop a decomposition method based on the augmented Lagrangian framework to solve a broad family of semidefinite programming problems, possibly with nonlinear objective functions, nonsmooth regularization, and general linear…

This paper presents a patch-wise low-rank based image denoising method with constrained variational model involving local and nonlocal regularization. On one hand, recent patch-wise methods can be represented as a low-rank matrix…

Atomic norm minimization is of great interest in various applications of sparse signal processing including super-resolution line-spectral estimation and signal denoising. In practice, atomic norm minimization (ANM) is formulated as…

Randomization is a fundamental tool used in many theoretical and practical areas of computer science. We study here the role of randomization in the area of submodular function maximization. In this area most algorithms are randomized, and…

With the extensive application of submodularity, its generalizations are constantly being proposed. However, most of them are tailored for special problems. In this paper, we focus on quasi-submodularity, a universal generalization, which…

We consider robust submodular maximization problems (RSMs), where given a set of $m$ monotone submodular objective functions, the robustness is with respect to the worst-case (scaled) objective function. The model we consider generalizes…

Submodular functions are set functions mapping every subset of some ground set of size $n$ into the real numbers and satisfying the diminishing returns property. Submodular minimization is an important field in discrete optimization theory…

We extend deconvolution in a periodic setting to deal with functional data. The resulting functional deconvolution model can be viewed as a generalization of a multitude of inverse problems in mathematical physics where one needs to recover…

We initiate the study of the submodular cover problem in dynamic setting where the elements of the ground set are inserted and deleted. In the classical submodular cover problem, we are given a monotone submodular function $f : 2^{V} \to…

In this paper, we propose an adaptive finite difference scheme in order to numerically solve total variation type problems for image processing tasks. The automatic generation of the grid relies on indicators derived from a local estimation…

We investigate two new optimization problems -- minimizing a submodular function subject to a submodular lower bound constraint (submodular cover) and maximizing a submodular function subject to a submodular upper bound constraint…

Spectral decomposition of linear operators plays a central role in many areas of machine learning and scientific computing. Recent work has explored training neural networks to approximate eigenfunctions of such operators, enabling scalable…

Maximization of submodular functions under various constraints is a fundamental problem that has been studied extensively. A powerful technique that has emerged and has been shown to be extremely effective for such problems is the…

Non-stationary blind super-resolution is an extension of the traditional super-resolution problem, which deals with the problem of recovering fine details from coarse measurements. The non-stationary blind super-resolution problem appears…

Composite minimization involves a collection of functions which are aggregated in a nonsmooth manner. It covers, as a particular case, smooth approximation of minimax games, minimization of max-type functions, and simple composite…

Many machine learning and data science tasks require solving non-convex optimization problems. When the loss function is a sum of multiple terms, a popular method is the stochastic gradient descent. Viewed as a process for sampling the loss…
