Optimal transport (OT) measures distances between distributions in a way that depends on the geometry of the sample space. In light of recent advances in computational OT, OT distances are widely used as loss functions in machine learning.…
We propose QPALM, a nonconvex quadratic programming (QP) solver based on the proximal augmented Lagrangian method. This method solves a sequence of inner subproblems which can be enforced to be strongly convex and which therefore admit a…
Variational quantum algorithms have become the de facto model for current quantum computations. A prominent example of such algorithms -- the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) -- was originally designed for combinatorial…
We develop a computationally efficient algorithm for the automatic regularization of nonlinear inverse problems based on the discrepancy principle. We formulate the problem as an equality constrained optimization problem, where the…
The presence of groups containing high leverage outliers makes linear regression a difficult problem due to the masking effect. The available high breakdown estimators based on Least Trimmed Squares often do not succeed in detecting masked…
We develop machinery to design efficiently computable and consistent estimators, achieving estimation error approaching zero as the number of observations grows, when facing an oblivious adversary that may corrupt responses in all but an…
We consider the problem of solving a large-scale Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Program. Such problems occur naturally in many scientific and web applications. Although there are efficient methods which tackle this problem, they are…
Quantum Random Access Optimizer (QRAO) is a quantum-relaxation based optimization algorithm proposed by Fuller et al. that utilizes Quantum Random Access Code (QRAC) to encode multiple variables of binary optimization in a single qubit. The…
In this paper we present a method for the regularized solution of nonlinear inverse problems, based on Ivanov regularization (also called method of quasi solutions or constrained least squares regularization). This leads to the minimization…
Triangulation of a three-dimensional point from at least two noisy 2-D images can be formulated as a quadratically constrained quadratic program. We propose an algorithm to extract candidate solutions to this problem from its semidefinite…
As a wide class of resource management problems in wireless communications are nonconvex and even NP-hard in many cases, finding globally optimal solutions to these problems is of little practical interest. Towards more pragmatic…
This paper proposes QPALM, a proximal augmented Lagrangian method based on quadratic approximations, for solving nonlinear programming problems with weakly convex objective and constraint functions. The algorithm is constructed by…
The Weber problem consists of finding a point in $\mathbbm{R}^n$ that minimizes the weighted sum of distances from $m$ points in $\mathbbm{R}^n$ that are not collinear. An application that motivated this problem is the optimal location of…
This note uses the Total Least-Squares (TLS) line-fitting problem as a canvas to explore some modern optimization tools. The contribution is meant to be tutorial in nature. The TLS problem has a lot of mathematical similarities to important…
We consider the problem of computing a positive definite $p \times p$ inverse covariance matrix aka precision matrix $\theta=(\theta_{ij})$ which optimizes a regularized Gaussian maximum likelihood problem, with the elastic-net regularizer…
This paper develops an algorithmic solution using Ising machines to solve large-scale higher-order binary optimization (HOBO) problems with inequality constraints for resource optimization in wireless communications systems. Quadratic…
We study on-line strategies for solving problems with hybrid algorithms. There is a problem Q and w basic algorithms for solving Q. For some lambda <= w, we have a computer with lambda disjoint memory areas, each of which can be used to run…
This paper proposes a new robust optimization (RO) formulation namely the RO under objective functional uncertainty (ObRO). The ObRO adopts a min-max structure where the inner problem finds the worst-case objective function in a continuous…
Autonomous navigation requires robots to generate trajectories for collision avoidance efficiently. Although plenty of previous works have proven successful in generating smooth and spatially collision-free trajectories, their solutions…
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {-1,1} values the quadratic form \sum_{i \ne j} a_{ij} x_i x_j. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization problems, and assuming the unique games conjecture,…
