Deepening and widening convolutional neural networks (CNNs) significantly increases the number of trainable weight parameters by adding more convolutional layers and feature maps per layer, respectively. By imposing inter- and intra-group…

We investigate implicit regularization schemes for gradient descent methods applied to unpenalized least squares regression to solve the problem of reconstructing a sparse signal from an underdetermined system of linear measurements under…

Sparse subspace clustering methods, such as Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) \cite{ElhamifarV13} and $\ell^{1}$-graph \cite{YanW09,ChengYYFH10}, are effective in partitioning the data that lie in a union of subspaces. Most of those methods…

We present estimators for a well studied statistical estimation problem: the estimation for the linear regression model with soft sparsity constraints ($\ell_q$ constraint with $0<q\leq1$) in the high-dimensional setting. We first present a…

We consider the task of designing sparse control laws for large-scale systems by directly minimizing an infinite horizon quadratic cost with an $\ell_1$ penalty on the feedback controller gains. Our focus is on an improved algorithm that…

The problem of computing minimally sparse solutions of under-determined linear systems is $NP$ hard in general. Subsets with extra properties, may allow efficient algorithms, most notably problems with the restricted isometry property (RIP)…

The L1-regularized Gaussian maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) has been shown to have strong statistical guarantees in recovering a sparse inverse covariance matrix, or alternatively the underlying graph structure of a Gaussian Markov…

We address the numerical solution of minimal norm residuals of {\it nonlinear} equations in finite dimensions. We take inspiration from the problem of finding a sparse vector solution by using greedy algorithms based on iterative residual…

In our recent work \cite{StojnicCSetam09,StojnicUpper10} we considered solving under-determined systems of linear equations with sparse solutions. In a large dimensional and statistical context we proved results related to performance of a…

The sparse nonlinear programming (SNP) problem has wide applications in signal and image processing, machine learning, pattern recognition, finance and management, etc. However, the computational challenge posed by SNP has not yet been well…

In high dimensional settings, sparse structures are crucial for efficiency, either in term of memory, computation or performance. In some contexts, it is natural to handle more refined structures than pure sparsity, such as for instance…

We consider a problem of estimating a sparse group of sparse normal mean vectors. The proposed approach is based on penalized likelihood estimation with complexity penalties on the number of nonzero mean vectors and the numbers of their…

We consider a class of sparse learning problems in high dimensional feature space regularized by a structured sparsity-inducing norm which incorporates prior knowledge of the group structure of the features. Such problems often pose a…

In high-dimensional statistical inference, sparsity regularizations have shown advantages in consistency and convergence rates for coefficient estimation. We consider a generalized version of Sparse-Group Lasso which captures both…

We consider a general supervised learning problem with strongly convex and Lipschitz loss and study the problem of model selection aggregation. In particular, given a finite dictionary functions (learners) together with the prior, we…

In this paper, we study (noisy) linear systems, and their $\ell_0$-regularized optimization problems, coupled with general data fidelity terms. Recent approaches for solving this class of problems have proposed to consider non-convex exact…

We study the Proximal Langevin Algorithm (PLA) for sampling from a probability distribution $\nu = e^{-f}$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ under isoperimetry. We prove a convergence guarantee for PLA in Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence when $\nu$…

We propose maximum likelihood estimation for learning Gaussian graphical models with a Gaussian (ell_2^2) prior on the parameters. This is in contrast to the commonly used Laplace (ell_1) prior for encouraging sparseness. We show that our…

In the Sparse Linear Regression (SLR) problem, given a $d \times n$ matrix $M$ and a $d$-dimensional query $q$, the goal is to compute a $k$-sparse $n$-dimensional vector $\tau$ such that the error $||M \tau-q||$ is minimized. This problem…

Column-sparse packing problems arise in several contexts in both deterministic and stochastic discrete optimization. We present two unifying ideas, (non-uniform) attenuation and multiple-chance algorithms, to obtain improved approximation…
