Probabilistic computers built from p-bits offer a promising path for combinatorial optimization, but the dense connectivity required by real-world problems scales poorly in hardware. Here, we address this through graph sparsification with…

Projection-free conditional gradient (CG) methods are the algorithms of choice for constrained optimization setups in which projections are often computationally prohibitive but linear optimization over the constraint set remains…

Approximations to Gaussian processes based on inducing variables, combined with variational inference techniques, enable state-of-the-art sparse approaches to infer GPs at scale through mini batch-based learning. In this work, we address…

Iterative algorithms based on thresholding, feedback and null space tuning (NST+HT+FB) for sparse signal recovery are exceedingly effective and fast, particularly for large scale problems. The core algorithm is shown to converge in finitely…

Choosing a proper set of kernel functions is an important problem in learning Gaussian Process (GP) models since each kernel structure has different model complexity and data fitness. Recently, automatic kernel composition methods provide…

Principal component regression (PCR) is a two-stage procedure that selects some principal components and then constructs a regression model regarding them as new explanatory variables. Note that the principal components are obtained from…

Machine learning is increasingly used to improve decisions within branch-and-bound algorithms for mixed-integer programming. Many existing approaches rely on deep learning, which often requires very large training datasets and substantial…

Reconstruction of evolutionary relationships between species is an important topic in the field of computational biology. Pairwise compatibility graphs (PCGs) are used to model such relationships. A graph is a PCG if its edges can be…

We consider the following multi-component sparse PCA problem: given a set of data points, we seek to extract a small number of sparse components with disjoint supports that jointly capture the maximum possible variance. These components can…

We establish a general form of explicit, input-dependent, measure-valued warpings for learning nonstationary kernels. While stationary kernels are ubiquitous and simple to use, they struggle to adapt to functions that vary in smoothness…

Gaussian Processes (GPs) are powerful kernelized methods for non-parameteric regression used in many applications. However, their use is limited to a few thousand of training samples due to their cubic time complexity. In order to scale GPs…

Sparse principal component analysis (PCA) is an important technique for dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data. However, most existing sparse PCA algorithms are based on non-convex optimization, which provide little guarantee on…

In this paper, we propose a machine learning model for sparse pairwise comparison matrices (PCMs), combining classical PCM approaches with graph-based learning techniques. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and…

Although deep neural networks (NNs) have achievedstate-of-the-art accuracy in many visual recognition tasks,the growing computational complexity and energy con-sumption of networks remains an issue, especially for ap-plications on platforms…

Variable selection is central to high-dimensional data analysis, and various algorithms have been developed. Ideally, a variable selection algorithm shall be flexible, scalable, and with theoretical guarantee, yet most existing algorithms…

We present a variant of the s-step Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) method that combines a Chebyshev-stabilized Krylov basis with a Forward Gauss-Seidel (FGS) iteration for the solution of the reduced Gram systems. In s-step…

We introduce a new class of inter-domain variational Gaussian processes (GP) where data is mapped onto the unit hypersphere in order to use spherical harmonic representations. Our inference scheme is comparable to variational Fourier…

The problem of optimal precision switching for the conjugate gradient (CG) method applied to sparse linear systems is considered. A sparse matrix is defined as an $n\!\times\!n$ matrix with $m\!=\!O(n)$ nonzero entries. The algorithm first…

Sparsity-constrained optimization underlies many problems in signal processing, statistics, and machine learning. State-of-the-art hard-thresholding (HT) algorithms rely on an appropriately selected continuous step-size parameter to ensure…

We propose an adaptive mixed precision and dynamically scaled preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm (AMP-PCG). It dynamically adjusts the precision for storing vectors and computing, exploiting low precision when appropriate, while…
