Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved extraordinary success in numerous areas. However, to attain this success, DNNs often carry a large number of weight parameters, leading to heavy costs of memory and computation resources.…

Many applications require sparse neural networks due to space or inference time restrictions. There is a large body of work on training dense networks to yield sparse networks for inference, but this limits the size of the largest trainable…

Generalization theory has been established for sparse deep neural networks under high-dimensional regime. Beyond generalization, parameter estimation is also important since it is crucial for variable selection and interpretability of deep…

In sparse optimization, enforcing hard constraints using the $\ell_0$ pseudo-norm offers advantages like controlled sparsity compared to convex relaxations. However, many real-world applications demand not only sparsity constraints but also…

We propose a linear time and constant space algorithm for computing Euclidean projections onto sets on which a normalized sparseness measure attains a constant value. These non-convex target sets can be characterized as intersections of a…

Weight pruning is a common technique for compressing large neural networks. We focus on the challenging post-training one-shot setting, where a pre-trained model is compressed without any retraining. Existing one-shot pruning methods…

Regularization of ill-posed linear inverse problems via $\ell_1$ penalization has been proposed for cases where the solution is known to be (almost) sparse. One way to obtain the minimizer of such an $\ell_1$ penalized functional is via an…
