We study a functional linear regression model that deals with functional responses and allows for both functional covariates and high-dimensional vector covariates. The proposed model is flexible and nests several functional regression…

We introduce LiPopt, a polynomial optimization framework for computing increasingly tighter upper bounds on the Lipschitz constant of neural networks. The underlying optimization problems boil down to either linear (LP) or semidefinite…

In this paper we propose a distributed version of a randomized block-coordinate descent method for minimizing the sum of a partially separable smooth convex function and a fully separable non-smooth convex function. Under the assumption of…

Recently, there were introduced important classes of relatively smooth, relatively continuous, and relatively strongly convex optimization problems. These concepts have significantly expanded the class of problems for which optimal…

This paper presents a convex-analytic framework to learn sparse graphs from data. While our problem formulation is inspired by an extension of the graphical lasso using the so-called combinatorial graph Laplacian framework, a key difference…

The celebrated sparse representation model has led to remarkable results in various signal processing tasks in the last decade. However, despite its initial purpose of serving as a global prior for entire signals, it has been commonly used…

In this paper, we propose a a gradient-based neural network model to solve the mathematical programming problems with complementary constraints (MPCC). In order to facilitate tractable optimization, the problem MPCC is transformed via a…

Recent work in signal processing and statistics have focused on defining new regularization functions, which not only induce sparsity of the solution, but also take into account the structure of the problem. We present in this paper a class…

We propose a novel multi-layer neural network architecture that gives a promising neural network empowered optimization approach to the image restoration problem. The proposed architecture is motivated by the recent study of monotone…

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have developed to become powerful models for various computer vision tasks ranging from object detection to semantic segmentation. However, most of the state-of-the-art CNNs cannot be deployed directly…

This paper gives a comprehensive treatment of the convergence rates of penalized spline estimators for simultaneously estimating several leading principal component functions, when the functional data is sparsely observed. The penalized…

Balancing predictive power and interpretability has long been a challenging research area, particularly in powerful yet complex models like neural networks, where nonlinearity obstructs direct interpretation. This paper introduces a novel…

We consider the problem of tracking the minimum of a time-varying convex optimization problem over a dynamic graph. Motivated by target tracking and parameter estimation problems in intermittently connected robotic and sensor networks, the…

We consider the online convex optimization problem. In the setting of arbitrary sequences and finite set of parameters, we establish a new fast-rate quantile regret bound. Then we investigate the optimization into the L1-ball by…

We prove global convergence of classical projection algorithms for feasibility problems involving union convex sets, which refer to sets expressible as the union of a finite number of closed convex sets. We present a unified strategy for…

High-dimensional data has become ubiquitous across the sciences but presents computational and statistical challenges. A common approach to addressing these challenges is through sparsity. In this paper, we introduce a new concept of…

Consider the regularized sparse minimization problem, which involves empirical sums of loss functions for $n$ data points (each of dimension $d$) and a nonconvex sparsity penalty. We prove that finding an…

Scaled sparse linear regression jointly estimates the regression coefficients and noise level in a linear model. It chooses an equilibrium with a sparse regression method by iteratively estimating the noise level via the mean residual…

Many real world practical problems can be formulated as $\ell_{0}$-minimization problems with nonnegativity constraints, which seek the sparsest nonnegative signals to underdetermined linear systems. They have been widely applied in signal…

This paper proposes a new interpretation of sparse penalties such as the elastic-net and the group-lasso. Beyond providing a new viewpoint on these penalization schemes, our approach results in a unified optimization strategy. Our…
