Convex regularizers are often used for sparse learning. They are easy to optimize, but can lead to inferior prediction performance. The difference of $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ ($\ell_{1-2}$) regularizer has been recently proposed as a nonconvex…

Recently, the $\l_{p}$-norm regularization minimization problem $(P_{p}^{\lambda})$ has attracted great attention in compressed sensing. However, the $\l_{p}$-norm $\|x\|_{p}^{p}$ in problem $(P_{p}^{\lambda})$ is nonconvex and…

This paper studies the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm for finite horizon stochastic control problems with measure-valued control processes. The control objective involves a convex regularisation function, denoted as $h$, with…

Composite minimization is a powerful framework in large-scale convex optimization, based on decoupling of the objective function into terms with structurally different properties and allowing for more flexible algorithmic design. We…

This paper focuses on recovering an underlying matrix from its noisy partial entries, a problem commonly known as matrix completion. We delve into the investigation of a non-convex regularization, referred to as transformed $L_1$ (TL1),…

The use of convex regularizers allows for easy optimization, though they often produce biased estimation and inferior prediction performance. Recently, nonconvex regularizers have attracted a lot of attention and outperformed convex ones.…

We tackle the inverse problem of reconstructing an unknown finite measure $\mu$ from a noisy observation of a generalized moment of $\mu$ defined as the integral of a continuous and bounded operator $\Phi$ with respect to $\mu$. When only a…

Owing to their statistical properties, non-convex sparse regularizers have attracted much interest for estimating a sparse linear model from high dimensional data. Given that the solution is sparse, for accelerating convergence, a working…

Matrix-valued optimization tasks, including those involving symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices, arise in a wide range of applications in machine learning, data science and statistics. Classically, such problems are solved via…

Estimating Wasserstein distances between two high-dimensional densities suffers from the curse of dimensionality: one needs an exponential (wrt dimension) number of samples to ensure that the distance between two empirical measures is…

Tensor-based methods have recently emerged as a more natural and effective formulation to address many problems in hyperspectral imaging. In hyperspectral unmixing (HU), low-rank constraints on the abundance maps have been shown to act as a…

We propose a new algorithmic framework for constrained compressed sensing models that admit nonconvex sparsity-inducing regularizers including the log-penalty function as objectives, and nonconvex loss functions such as the Cauchy loss…

Variable selection is a fundamental task in statistical data analysis. Sparsity-inducing regularization methods are a popular class of methods that simultaneously perform variable selection and model estimation. The central problem is a…

The explicit low-rank regularization, e.g., nuclear norm regularization, has been widely used in imaging sciences. However, it has been found that implicit regularization outperforms explicit ones in various image processing tasks. Another…

Convex $\ell_1$ regularization using an infinite dictionary of neurons has been suggested for constructing neural networks with desired approximation guarantees, but can be affected by an arbitrary amount of over-parametrization. This can…

Building on a recent framework for distributionally robust optimization, we consider estimation of the inverse covariance matrix for multivariate data. We provide a novel notion of a Wasserstein ambiguity set specifically tailored to this…

We propose a regularized Hessian-free Newton-type method for minimizing smooth convex functions with Lipschitz continuous Hessians. The algorithm constructs an approximate Hessian by finite differences and selects the regularization…
