In this paper, we investigate a group sparse optimization problem via $\ell_{p,q}$ regularization in three aspects: theory, algorithm and application. In the theoretical aspect, by introducing a notion of group restricted eigenvalue…

For the linear inverse problem with sparsity constraints, the $l_0$ regularized problem is NP-hard, and existing approaches either utilize greedy algorithms to find almost-optimal solutions or to approximate the $l_0$ regularization with…

We consider a class of learning problems that involve a structured sparsity-inducing norm defined as the sum of $\ell_\infty$-norms over groups of variables. Whereas a lot of effort has been put in developing fast optimization methods when…

We introduce a recursive adaptive group lasso algorithm for real-time penalized least squares prediction that produces a time sequence of optimal sparse predictor coefficient vectors. At each time index the proposed algorithm computes an…

This paper proposes a new interpretation of sparse penalties such as the elastic-net and the group-lasso. Beyond providing a new viewpoint on these penalization schemes, our approach results in a unified optimization strategy. Our…

We consider the problem of estimating a sparse linear regression vector $\beta^*$ under a gaussian noise model, for the purpose of both prediction and model selection. We assume that prior knowledge is available on the sparsity pattern,…

This paper investigates a general class of problems in which a lower bounded smooth convex function incorporating $\ell_{0}$ and $\ell_{2,0}$ regularization is minimized over a box constraint. Although such problems arise frequently in…

We consider a discrete optimization formulation for learning sparse classifiers, where the outcome depends upon a linear combination of a small subset of features. Recent work has shown that mixed integer programming (MIP) can be used to…

Motivated by problems in optimization we study the sparsity of the solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations and linear integer programs, i.e., the number of non-zero entries of a solution, which is often referred to as the…

The sparse group Lasso is a widely used statistical model which encourages the sparsity both on a group and within the group level. In this paper, we develop an efficient augmented Lagrangian method for large-scale non-overlapping sparse…

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 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…

In this work we propose and analyze a novel approach for group sparse recovery. It is based on regularized least squares with an $\ell^0(\ell^2)$ penalty, which penalizes the number of nonzero groups. One distinct feature of the approach is…

Sparse learning is an important topic in many areas such as machine learning, statistical estimation, signal processing, etc. Recently, there emerges a growing interest on structured sparse learning. In this paper we focus on the…

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,…

We present an iterative support shrinking algorithm for $\ell_{p}$-$\ell_{q}$ minimization~($0 <p < 1 \leq q < \infty $). This algorithm guarantees the nonexpensiveness of the signal support set and can be easily implemented after being…

Sparse estimation methods are aimed at using or obtaining parsimonious representations of data or models. While naturally cast as a combinatorial optimization problem, variable or feature selection admits a convex relaxation through the…

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…

Sparsity finds applications in areas as diverse as statistics, machine learning, and signal processing. Computations over sparse structures are less complex compared to their dense counterparts, and their storage consumes less space. This…

We study sparse group Lasso for high-dimensional double sparse linear regression, where the parameter of interest is simultaneously element-wise and group-wise sparse. This problem is an important instance of the simultaneously structured…
