In this paper, we investigate the robustness of structured frames to measurement noise and erasures, with the focus on Gabor frames $(g, \Lambda)$ with arbitrary sets of time-frequency shifts $\Lambda$. This property of frames is important…

Randomized smoothing (RS) has been shown to be a fast, scalable technique for certifying the robustness of deep neural network classifiers. However, methods based on RS require augmenting data with large amounts of noise, which leads to…

While the traditional formulation of machine learning tasks is in terms of performance on average, in practice we are often interested in how well a trained model performs on rare or difficult data points at test time. To achieve more…

In 3D shape reconstruction based on template mesh deformation, a regularization, such as smoothness energy, is employed to guide the reconstruction into a desirable direction. In this paper, we highlight an often overlooked property in the…

We consider the MAP-MRF inference task, that is, minimizing a function of discrete variables represented as a sum of unary and pairwise terms. A prominent approach for tackling this NP-hard problem in practice is to solve its natural LP…

Transformer-based NLP models remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, yet existing repair methods face a fundamental trade-off: gradient-based approaches offer flexibility but lack verifiability and often overfit; methods that do…

Metric learning aims to learn a distance metric such that semantically similar instances are pulled together while dissimilar instances are pushed away. Many existing methods consider maximizing or at least constraining a distance margin in…

In this paper, we propose a unified algorithmic framework for solving many known variants of \mds. Our algorithm is a simple iterative scheme with guaranteed convergence, and is \emph{modular}; by changing the internals of a single…

We advocate an optimization procedure for variable density sampling in the context of compressed sensing. In this perspective, we introduce a minimization problem for the coherence between the sparsity and sensing bases, whose solution…

This paper presents an adaptive and intelligent sparse model for digital image sampling and recovery. In the proposed sampler, we adaptively determine the number of required samples for retrieving image based on space-frequency-gradient…

Context: The number of known strong gravitational lenses is expected to grow substantially in the next few years. The statistical combination of large samples of lenses has the potential of providing strong constraints on the inner…

Modern sparse language models typically achieve sparsity through Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers, which dynamically route tokens to dense MLP "experts." However, dynamic hard routing has a number of drawbacks, such as potentially poor…

This paper is about a curious phenomenon. Suppose we have a data matrix, which is the superposition of a low-rank component and a sparse component. Can we recover each component individually? We prove that under some suitable assumptions,…

The popular softmax loss and its recent extensions have achieved great success in the deep learning-based image classification. However, the data for training image classifiers usually has different quality. Ignoring such problem, the…

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities, but their enormous size poses significant challenges for deployment in real-world applications. To address this issue, researchers have sought to apply network pruning…

This paper establishes the convergence properties of the Popov mirror-prox algorithm for solving stochastic and deterministic variational inequalities (VIs) under a polynomial growth condition on the mapping variation. Unlike existing…

Multi-robot global localization (MR-GL) with unknown initial positions in a large scale environment is a challenging task. The key point is the data association between different robots' viewpoints. It also makes traditional…

One of the primary goals in spectrum occupancy mapping is to create a system that is robust to assumptions about the number of sensors, occupancy threshold (in dBm), sensor noise, number of emitters and the propagation environment. We show…

High resolution depth-maps, obtained by upsampling sparse range data from a 3D-LIDAR, find applications in many fields ranging from sensory perception to semantic segmentation and object detection. Upsampling is often based on combining…

We explore a new type of sparsity for the generalized moment problem (GMP) that we call ideal-sparsity. This sparsity exploits the presence of equality constraints requiring the measure to be supported on the variety of an ideal generated…
