Many real-world decision-making problems have uncertain parameters in constraints. Wasserstein distributionally robust joint chance constraints (WDRJCC) offer a promising solution by explicitly guaranteeing the probability of the…

In inverse problems we aim to reconstruct some underlying signal of interest from potentially corrupted and often ill-posed measurements. Classical optimization-based techniques proceed by optimizing a data consistency metric together with…

Outlier detection is an integral part of robust evaluation for crowdsourceable Quality of Experience (QoE) and has attracted much attention in recent years. In QoE for multimedia, outliers happen because of different test conditions, human…

We present two matrix-free methods for approximately solving exact penalty subproblems that arise when solving large-scale optimization problems. The first approach is a novel iterative re-weighting algorithm (IRWA), which iteratively…

We study high-dimensional sparse estimation tasks in a robust setting where a constant fraction of the dataset is adversarially corrupted. Specifically, we focus on the fundamental problems of robust sparse mean estimation and robust sparse…

The performance of principal component analysis (PCA) suffers badly in the presence of outliers. This paper proposes two novel approaches for robust PCA based on semidefinite programming. The first method, maximum mean absolute deviation…

Correspondence problems are often modelled as quadratic optimization problems over permutations. Common scalable methods for approximating solutions of these NP-hard problems are the spectral relaxation for non-convex energies and the…

We propose a novel Rayleigh quotient based sparse quadratic dimension reduction method - named QUADRO (Quadratic Dimension Reduction via Rayleigh Optimization) - for analyzing high- dimensional data. Unlike in the linear setting where…

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…

This study investigates the theoretical and computational aspects of quaternion generalized inverses, focusing on outer inverses and {1,2}-inverses with prescribed range and/or null space constraints. In view of the non-commutative nature…

All spacecraft attitude estimation methods are based on Wahba's optimization problem. This problem can be reduced to finding the largest eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvector for Davenport's $K$-matrix. Several iterative algorithms,…

We present a general approach to rounding semidefinite programming relaxations obtained by the Sum-of-Squares method (Lasserre hierarchy). Our approach is based on using the connection between these relaxations and the Sum-of-Squares proof…

In this paper, we present a new iterative rounding framework for many clustering problems. Using this, we obtain an $(\alpha_1 + \epsilon \leq 7.081 + \epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for $k$-median with outliers, greatly improving upon…

Recently, randomized algorithms for low-rank approximation of quaternion matrices have received increasing attention. However, for large-scale problems, existing quaternion orthonormalizations are inefficient, leading to slow rangefinders.…

In this paper, we propose a novel conceptual framework to detect outliers using optimal transport with a concave cost function. Conventional outlier detection approaches typically use a two-stage procedure: first, outliers are detected and…

We present a proximal augmented Lagrangian based solver for general convex quadratic programs (QPs), relying on semismooth Newton iterations with exact line search to solve the inner subproblems. The exact line search reduces in this case…
