Monotonicity constraints are powerful regularizers in statistical modelling. They can support fairness in computer-aided decision making and increase plausibility in data-driven scientific models. The seminal min-max (MM) neural network…

In this paper, the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit beampattern matching problem is considered. The problem is formulated to approximate a desired transmit beampattern (i.e., an energy distribution in space and frequency) and…

In the undersampled phase retrieval problem, the goal is to recover an $N$-dimensional complex signal $\mathbf{x}$ from only $M<N$ noisy intensity measurements without phase information. This problem has drawn a lot of attention to reduce…

Min-max problems have broad applications in machine learning, including learning with non-decomposable loss and learning with robustness to data distribution. Convex-concave min-max problem is an active topic of research with efficient…

We take a new perspective on the weighted sum-rate maximization in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference networks, by formulating an equivalent max-min problem. This seemingly trivial reformulation has significant implications:…

Max-norm regularizer has been extensively studied in the last decade as it promotes an effective low-rank estimation for the underlying data. However, such max-norm regularized problems are typically formulated and solved in a batch manner,…

Composite function minimization captures a wide spectrum of applications in both computer vision and machine learning. It includes bound constrained optimization and cardinality regularized optimization as special cases. This paper proposes…

Non-convex optimization is ubiquitous in machine learning. Majorization-Minimization (MM) is a powerful iterative procedure for optimizing non-convex functions that works by optimizing a sequence of bounds on the function. In MM, the bound…

Inverse problems are often ill-posed and require optimization schemes with strong stability and convergence guarantees. While learning-based approaches such as deep unrolling and meta-learning achieve strong empirical performance, they…

The problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable convex function over an intersection of closed convex sets is ubiquitous in applied mathematics. It is particularly interesting when it is easy to project onto each separate set, but…

We address the problem of linear precoder (beamformer) design in a multiple-input multiple-output interference channel (MIMO-IC). The aim is to design the transmit covariance matrices in order to achieve max-min utility fairness for all…

In this paper, we introduce a novel iterative algorithm for the problem of phase-retrieval where the measurements consist of only the magnitude of linear function of the unknown signal, and the noise in the measurements follow Poisson…

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…

This study focuses on solving group zero-norm regularized robust loss minimization problems. We propose a proximal Majorization-Minimization (PMM) algorithm to address a class of equivalent Difference-of-Convex (DC) surrogate optimization…

Penalized estimation can conduct variable selection and parameter estimation simultaneously. The general framework is to minimize a loss function subject to a penalty designed to generate sparse variable selection. The…

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is a promising technology to cope with the exponential increase in 5G data traffic. Such networks typically require a very dense deployment of base stations. A subset of those, so-called macro base…
