Analyzing the worst-case performance of deep neural networks against input perturbations amounts to solving a large-scale non-convex optimization problem, for which several past works have proposed convex relaxations as a promising…
In this paper, we consider a class of constrained multiobjective optimization problems, where each objective function can be expressed by adding a possibly nonsmooth nonconvex function and a differentiable function with Lipschitz continuous…
In this paper we consider non-smooth convex optimization problems with (possibly) infinite intersection of constraints. In contrast to the classical approach, where the constraints are usually represented as intersection of simple sets,…
High dimensional and/or nonconvex optimization remains a challenging and important problem across a wide range of fields, such as machine learning, data assimilation, and partial differential equation (PDE) constrained optimization. Here we…
Numerous problems in signal processing and imaging, statistical learning and data mining, or computer vision can be formulated as optimization problems which consist in minimizing a sum of convex functions, not necessarily differentiable,…
In this paper, we consider a class of structured nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems whose objective function is the sum of three nonconvex functions, one of which is expressed in a difference-of-convex (DC) form. This problem class…
Semi-supervised clustering is a basic problem in various applications. Most existing methods require knowledge of the ideal cluster number, which is often difficult to obtain in practice. Besides, satisfying the must-link constraints is…
The implicit convex feasibility problem attempts to find a point in the intersection of a finite family of convex sets, some of which are not explicitly determined but may vary. We develop simultaneous and sequential projection methods…
We consider the problem of minimizing a convex objective which is the sum of a smooth part, with Lipschitz continuous gradient, and a nonsmooth part. Inspired by various applications, we focus on the case when the nonsmooth part is a…
The forward-backward splitting algorithm is a popular operator-splitting method for solving monotone inclusion of the sum of a maximal monotone operator and a cocoercive operator. In this paper, we present a new convergence analysis of a…
We propose a proximal approach to deal with a class of convex variational problems involving nonlinear constraints. A large family of constraints, proven to be effective in the solution of inverse problems, can be expressed as the lower…
The possibilities of exploiting the special structure of d.c. programs, which consist of optimizing the difference of convex functions, are currently more or less limited to variants of the DCA proposed by Pham Dinh Tao and Le Thi Hoai An…
We study the problem of minimizing a nonnegative separable concave function over a compact feasible set. We approximate this problem to within a factor of 1+epsilon by a piecewise-linear minimization problem over the same feasible set. Our…
Clustering with outliers is one of the most fundamental problems in Computer Science. Given a set $X$ of $n$ points and two integers $k$ and $m$, the clustering with outliers aims to exclude $m$ points from $X$ and partition the remaining…
The convex feasibility problem (CFP) is to find a feasible point in the intersection of finitely many convex and closed sets. If the intersection is empty then the CFP is inconsistent and a feasible point does not exist. However,…
In this paper we consider a class of optimization problems with a strongly convex objective function and the feasible set given by an intersection of a simple convex set with a set given by a number of linear equality and inequality…
The separability assumption (Donoho & Stodden, 2003; Arora et al., 2012) turns non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) into a tractable problem. Recently, a new class of provably-correct NMF algorithms have emerged under this assumption. In…
Many applications using large datasets require efficient methods for minimizing a proximable convex function subject to satisfying a set of linear constraints within a specified tolerance. For this task, we present a proximal projection…
The low-rank matrix factorization as a L1 norm minimization problem has recently attracted much attention due to its intrinsic robustness to the presence of outliers and missing data. In this paper, we propose a new method, called the…
Finding a point in the intersection of a collection of closed convex sets, that is the convex feasibility problem, represents the main modeling strategy for many computational problems. In this paper we analyze new stochastic reformulations…
