Sparsity-inducing regularization problems are ubiquitous in machine learning applications, ranging from feature selection to model compression. In this paper, we present a novel stochastic method -- Orthant Based Proximal Stochastic…

Sparse representation learning has recently gained a great success in signal and image processing, thanks to recent advances in dictionary learning. To this end, the $\ell_0$-norm is often used to control the sparsity level. Nevertheless,…

This paper is concerned with $\ell_q\,(0<q<1)$-norm regularized minimization problems with a twice continuously differentiable loss function. For this class of nonconvex and nonsmooth composite problems, many algorithms have been proposed…

This paper studies high-order evaluation complexity for partially separable convexly-constrained optimization involving non-Lipschitzian group sparsity terms in a nonconvex objective function. We propose a partially separable adaptive…

Sparse optimization is a fundamental challenge in various practical applications. A popular approach to sparse optimization is $\ell_p$ regularization. However, it may encounter optimization instability due to the unbounded gradients when…

Motivated by $\ell_p$-optimization arising from sparse optimization, high dimensional data analytics and statistics, this paper studies sparse properties of a wide range of $p$-norm based optimization problems with $p > 1$, including…

We propose and analyze an efficient algorithm for solving the joint sparse recovery problem using a new regularization-based method, named orthogonally weighted $\ell_{2,1}$ ($\mathit{ow}\ell_{2,1}$), which is specifically designed to take…

We present a new algorithmic framework for grouped variable selection that is based on discrete mathematical optimization. While there exist several appealing approaches based on convex relaxations and nonconvex heuristics, we focus on…

We consider solving the $\ell_1$-regularized least-squares ($\ell_1$-LS) problem in the context of sparse recovery, for applications such as compressed sensing. The standard proximal gradient method, also known as iterative…

The constrained $\ell_p^p/\ell_q^p$ ratio model is scale invariant and is therefore attractive for sparse signal recovery. However, its nonconvex, nonsmooth, and fractional structure makes a unified theoretical and algorithmic analysis…

In this paper, we consider a squared $L_1/L_2$ regularized model for sparse signal recovery from noisy measurements. We first establish the existence of optimal solutions to the model under mild conditions. Next, we propose a proximal…

In this paper we look at a connection between the $\ell_q,0\leq q\leq 1$, optimization and under-determined linear systems of equations with sparse solutions. The case $q=1$, or in other words $\ell_1$ optimization and its a connection with…

We consider the sparse optimization problem with nonlinear constraints and an objective function, which is given by the sum of a general smooth mapping and an additional term defined by the $ \ell_0 $-quasi-norm. This term is used to obtain…

In this note, we comprehensively characterize the proximal operator of the $q$-th power of the $\ell_{1,q}$-norm (denoted by $\ell_{1,q}^{q}$) with $0\!<\!q\!<\!1$ by exploiting the well-known proximal operator of $|\cdot|^q$ on the real…

In this paper we consider the problem of grouped variable selection in high-dimensional regression using $\ell_1-\ell_q$ regularization ($1\leq q \leq \infty$), which can be viewed as a natural generalization of the $\ell_1-\ell_2$…

Despite widespread adoption in practice, guarantees for the LASSO and Group LASSO are strikingly lacking in settings beyond statistical problems, and these algorithms are usually considered to be a heuristic in the context of sparse convex…

Choosing an appropriate regularization term is necessary to obtain a meaningful solution to an ill-posed linear inverse problem contaminated with measurement errors or noise. The $\ell_p$ norm covers a wide range of choices for the…

In this paper, we focus on the local convergence rate analysis of the proximal iteratively reweighted $\ell_1$ algorithms for solving $\ell_p$ regularization problems, which are widely applied for inducing sparse solutions. We show that if…

We consider the problem of minimizing an objective function that is the sum of a convex function and a group sparsity-inducing regularizer. Problems that integrate such regularizers arise in modern machine learning applications, often for…

We study a class of non-convex and non-smooth problems with \textit{rank} regularization to promote sparsity in optimal solution. We propose to apply the proximal gradient descent method to solve the problem and accelerate the process with…
