Many problems of substantial current interest in machine learning, statistics, and data science can be formulated as sparse and low-rank optimization problems. In this paper, we present the nonconvex exterior-point optimization solver NExOS…

The Soft Happy Colouring (SHC) problem, a mathematical framework for identifying homophilic network structures, seeks to maximise the number of $\rho$-happy vertices, i.e. vertices with at least a proportion $\rho$ of neighbours that share…

High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) dosing in children remains largely empirical, relying on one-size-fits-all protocols despite rapid developmental changes in head anatomy and tissue properties that strongly…

A new relaxed variant of interior point method for low-rank semidefinite programming problems is proposed in this paper. The method is a step outside of the usual interior point framework. In anticipation to converging to a low-rank primal…

This paper studies the data-driven reconstruction of firing rate dynamics of brain activity described by linear-threshold network models. Identifying the system parameters directly leads to a large number of variables and a highly…

Lossy image compression networks aim to minimize the latent entropy of images while adhering to specific distortion constraints. However, optimizing the neural network can be challenging due to its nature of learning quantized latent…

We propose an input convex neural network (ICNN)-based self-supervised learning framework to solve continuous constrained optimization problems. By integrating the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) with the constraint correction mechanism,…

We consider the minimum-norm-point (MNP) problem over polyhedra, a well-studied problem that encompasses linear programming. We present a general algorithmic framework that combines two fundamental approaches for this problem: active set…

The theory of compressive sensing (CS) suggests that under certain conditions, a sparse signal can be recovered from a small number of linear incoherent measurements. An effective class of reconstruction algorithms involve solving a convex…

We study the minimization problem of a non-convex sparsity promoting penalty function, the transformed $l_1$ (TL1), and its application in compressed sensing (CS). The TL1 penalty interpolates $l_0$ and $l_1$ norms through a nonnegative…

In this study, we present a deep learning-optimization framework to tackle dynamic mixed-integer programs. Specifically, we develop a bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) framework that can process information forward and backward in…

This paper considers a class of convex optimization problems where both, the objective function and the constraints, have a continuously varying dependence on time. Our goal is to develop an algorithm to track the optimal solution as it…

Modern language agents must operate over long-horizon, multi-turn interactions, where they retrieve external information, adapt to observations, and answer interdependent queries. Yet, most LLM systems rely on full-context prompting,…

We present a novel algorithm that allows us to gain detailed insight into the effects of sparsity in linear and nonlinear optimization, which is of great importance in many scientific areas such as image and signal processing, medical…

We focus on electromagnetoencephalography imaging of the neural activity and, in particular, finding a robust estimate for the primary current distribution via the hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM). Our aim is to develop a reasonably fast…

Nonconvex optimization problems with an L1-constraint are ubiquitous, and are found in many application domains including: optimal control of hybrid systems, machine learning and statistics, and operations research. This paper shows that…

This paper investigates two related optimal input selection problems for fixed (non-switched) and switched structured systems. More precisely, we consider selecting the minimum cost of inputs from a prior set of inputs, and selecting the…

This paper introduces Laplace techniques for designing a neural network, with the goal of estimating simplex-constraint sparse vectors from compressed measurements. To this end, we recast the problem of MMSE estimation (w.r.t. a pre-defined…

In breakthrough work, Tardos (Oper. Res. '86) gave a proximity based framework for solving linear programming (LP) in time depending only on the constraint matrix in the bit complexity model. In Tardos's framework, one reduces solving the…

In this paper, we introduce two parabolic target-space interior-point algorithms for solving monotone linear complementarity problems. The first algorithm is based on a universal tangent direction, which has been recently proposed for…
