Phase retrieval (PR) is a popular research topic in signal processing and machine learning. However, its performance degrades significantly when the measurements are corrupted by noise or outliers. To address this limitation, we propose a…
We extend a primal-dual fixed point algorithm (PDFP) proposed in [5] to solve two kinds of separable multi-block minimization problems, arising in signal processing and imaging science. This work shows the flexibility of applying PDFP…
We are motivated by problems that arise in a number of applications such as Online Marketing and Explosives detection, where the observations are usually modeled using Poisson statistics. We model each observation as a Poisson random…
Majorization-minimization algorithms consist of iteratively minimizing a majorizing surrogate of an objective function. Because of its simplicity and its wide applicability, this principle has been very popular in statistics and in signal…
Recently the primal-dual method of multipliers (PDMM), a novel distributed optimization method, was proposed for solving a general class of decomposable convex optimizations over graphic models. In this work, we first study the convergence…
Separable multi-block convex optimization problem appears in many mathematical and engineering fields. In the first part of this paper, we propose an inertial proximal ADMM to solve a linearly constrained separable multi-block convex…
This paper addresses the problems of minimizing the sum of a quadratic function and a proximal-friendly nonconvex nonsmooth function. While the existing Proximal Dogleg Opportunistic Majorization (PDOM) algorithm for these problems offers…
This paper considers the decentralized optimization problem of minimizing a finite sum of strongly convex and twice continuously differentiable functions over a fixed-connected undirected network. A fully decentralized primal-dual…
The primal problem of multinomial likelihood maximization restricted to a convex closed subset of the probability simplex is studied. Contrary to widely held belief, a solution of this problem may assign a positive mass to an outcome with…
We propose a data-driven algorithm for the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation of stochastic processes from noisy observations. The primary statistical properties of the sought signal is specified by the penalty function (i.e., negative…
We propose a communication- and computation-efficient distributed optimization algorithm using second-order information for solving empirical risk minimization (ERM) problems with a nonsmooth regularization term. Our algorithm is applicable…
In this work, we introduce a unifying Bregman-based majorization-minimization (MM) framework for solving nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems. The proposed approach leverages Bregman divergences, possibly varying across iterations, to…
In phase retrieval, the goal is to recover a complex signal from the magnitude of its linear measurements. While many well-known algorithms guarantee deterministic recovery of the unknown signal using i.i.d. random measurement matrices,…
We extend the theory of low-rank matrix recovery and completion to the case when Poisson observations for a linear combination or a subset of the entries of a matrix are available, which arises in various applications with count data. We…
In this paper, we propose a general class of algorithms for optimizing an extensive variety of nonsmoothly penalized objective functions that satisfy certain regularity conditions. The proposed framework utilizes the…
In this paper we present a novel numerical method for computing local minimizers of twice smooth differentiable non-linear programming (NLP) problems. So far all algorithms for NLP are based on either of the following three principles:…
In this paper, we present a novel variational plug-and-play algorithm for Poisson inverse problems. Our approach minimizes an explicit functional which is the sum of a Kullback-Leibler data fidelity term and a regularization term based on a…
Generally, phase retrieval problem can be viewed as the reconstruction of a function/signal from only the magnitude of the linear measurements. These measurements can be, for example, the Fourier transform of the density function.…
In this paper, we consider the problem of distributed optimisation of a separable convex cost function over a graph, where every edge and node in the graph could carry both linear equality and/or inequality constraints. We show how to…
Proximal splitting algorithms are well suited to solving large-scale nonsmooth optimization problems, in particular those arising in machine learning. We propose a new primal-dual algorithm, in which the dual update is randomized;…
