Sparse optimization has seen its advances in recent decades. For scenarios where the true sparsity is unknown, regularization turns out to be a promising solution. Two popular non-convex regularizations are the so-called $L_0$ norm and…

Sparse signal recovery based on nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems has significant applications and demonstrates superior performance in signal processing and machine learning. This work deals with a scale-invariant…

In this article, a fractional-norm constrained blind adaptive algorithm is presented for sparse channel equalization. In essence, the algorithm improves on the minimization of the constant modulus (CM) criteria by adding a sparsity inducing…

We propose a new method based on sparse optimal discriminant clustering (SODC), incorporating a penalty term into the scoring matrix based on convex clustering. With the addition of this penalty term, it is expected to improve the accuracy…

In this paper we characterize sparse solutions for variational problems of the form $\min_{u\in X} \phi(u) + F(\mathcal{A} u)$, where $X$ is a locally convex space, $\mathcal{A}$ is a linear continuous operator that maps into a finite…

A new model-based procedure is developed for sparse clustering of functional data that aims to classify a sample of curves into homogeneous groups while jointly detecting the most informative portions of domain. The proposed method is…

We focus on the minimization of the least square loss function either under a $k$-sparse constraint or with a sparse penalty term. Based on recent results, we reformulate the $\ell_0$ pseudo-norm exactly as a convex minimization problem by…

Hypergraph matching is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Mathematically speaking, it maximizes a polynomial objective function, subject to assignment constraints. In this paper, we reformulate the hypergraph matching problem as a…

Regularization plays a major role in modern deep learning. From classic techniques such as L1,L2 penalties to other noise-based methods such as Dropout, regularization often yields better generalization properties by avoiding overfitting.…

We compute approximate solutions to L0 regularized linear regression using L1 regularization, also known as the Lasso, as an initialization step. Our algorithm, the Lass-0 ("Lass-zero"), uses a computationally efficient stepwise search to…

In this paper we consider a nonconvex optimization problem with nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that both, the objective function and the functional constraints, are locally smooth. For solving this problem, we propose a…

Over the past decades, many individual nonconvex methods have been proposed to achieve better sparse recovery performance in various scenarios. However, how to construct a valid nonconvex regularization function remains open in practice. In…

Interest in stochastic zeroth-order (SZO) methods has recently been revived in black-box optimization scenarios such as adversarial black-box attacks to deep neural networks. SZO methods only require the ability to evaluate the objective…

In this paper, we propose an exact general algorithm for solving non-convex optimization problems, where the non-convexity arises due to the presence of an inverse S-shaped function. The proposed method involves iteratively approximating…

Regularisation allows one to handle ill-posed inverse problems. Here we focus on discrete unfolding problems. The properties of the results are characterised by the consistency between measurements and unfolding result and by the posterior…

The goal of Sparse Convex Optimization is to optimize a convex function $f$ under a sparsity constraint $s\leq s^*\gamma$, where $s^*$ is the target number of non-zero entries in a feasible solution (sparsity) and $\gamma\geq 1$ is an…

Consider reconstructing a signal $x$ by minimizing a weighted sum of a convex differentiable negative log-likelihood (NLL) (data-fidelity) term and a convex regularization term that imposes a convex-set constraint on $x$ and enforces its…

Structured sparsity regularization offers a principled way to compact neural networks, but its non-differentiability breaks compatibility with conventional stochastic gradient descent and requires either specialized optimizers or additional…

In this paper, we aim at recovering an unknown signal x0 from noisy L1measurements y=Phi*x0+w, where Phi is an ill-conditioned or singular linear operator and w accounts for some noise. To regularize such an ill-posed inverse problem, we…

We investigate a class of nonconvex optimization problems characterized by a feasible set consisting of level-bounded nonconvex regularizers, with a continuously differentiable objective. We propose a novel hybrid approach to tackle such…
