Low-rank matrix recovery can be solved to statistical optimality by convex matrix optimization under the classical assumption of restricted isometry property (RIP). However, for large problems, the convex formulation is commonly replaced by…

Motivated by re-weighted $\ell_1$ approaches for sparse recovery, we propose a lifted $\ell_1$ (LL1) regularization which is a generalized form of several popular regularizations in the literature. By exploring such connections, we discover…

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have developed to become powerful models for various computer vision tasks ranging from object detection to semantic segmentation. However, most of the state-of-the-art CNNs cannot be deployed directly…

We discuss a strategy of sparse approximation that is based on the use of an overcomplete basis, and evaluate its performance when a random matrix is used as this basis. A small combination of basis vectors is chosen from a given…

In this paper, we discuss the statistical properties of the $\ell_q$ optimization methods $(0<q\leq 1)$, including the $\ell_q$ minimization method and the $\ell_q$ regularization method, for estimating a sparse parameter from noisy…

We consider a class of $\ell_0$-regularized linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control problems. This class of problems is obtained by augmenting a penalizing sparsity measure to the cost objective of the standard linear-quadratic regulator…

$\ell_1$ regularization has been used for logistic regression to circumvent the overfitting and use the estimated sparse coefficient for feature selection. However, the challenge of such a regularization is that the $\ell_1$ norm is not…

For the problem of sparse recovery, it is widely accepted that nonconvex minimizations are better than $\ell_1$ penalty in enhancing the sparsity of solution. However, to date, the theory verifying that nonconvex penalties outperform (or…

Most learning methods with rank or sparsity constraints use convex relaxations, which lead to optimization with the nuclear norm or the $\ell_1$-norm. However, several important learning applications cannot benefit from this approach as…

An algorithmic framework, based on the difference of convex functions algorithm (DCA), is proposed for minimizing a class of concave sparse metrics for compressed sensing problems. The resulting algorithm iterates a sequence of $\ell_1$…

Tensor data represents a multidimensional array. Regression methods based on low-rank tensor decomposition leverage structural information to reduce the parameter count. Multilinear logistic regression serves as a powerful tool for the…

We study the minimization problem of a non-convex sparsity promoting penalty function, the transformed $l_1$ (TL1), and its application in compressed sensing (CS). The TL1 penalty interpolates $l_0$ and $l_1$ norms through a nonnegative…

We consider the problem of low-rank approximation of massive dense non-negative tensor data, for example to discover latent patterns in video and imaging applications. As the size of data sets grows, single workstations are hitting…

Spectral Clustering (SC) is one of the most widely used methods for data clustering. It first finds a low-dimensonal embedding $U$ of data by computing the eigenvectors of the normalized Laplacian matrix, and then performs k-means on…

In this paper, we develop a randomized algorithm and theory for learning a sparse model from large-scale and high-dimensional data, which is usually formulated as an empirical risk minimization problem with a sparsity-inducing regularizer.…

For the problems of low-rank matrix completion, the efficiency of the widely-used nuclear norm technique may be challenged under many circumstances, especially when certain basis coefficients are fixed, for example, the low-rank correlation…

Nuclear-norm regularization plays a vital role in many learning tasks, such as low-rank matrix recovery (MR), and low-rank representation (LRR). Solving this problem directly can be computationally expensive due to the unknown rank of…
