Inverse problems and regularization theory is a central theme in contemporary signal processing, where the goal is to reconstruct an unknown signal from partial indirect, and possibly noisy, measurements of it. A now standard method for…

This paper considers the problem of signal denoising using a sparse tight-frame analysis prior. The L1 norm has been extensively used as a regularizer to promote sparsity; however, it tends to under-estimate non-zero values of the…

This paper develops a convex approach for sparse one-dimensional deconvolution that improves upon L1-norm regularization, the standard convex approach. We propose a sparsity-inducing non-separable non-convex bivariate penalty function for…

Several convex formulation methods have been proposed previously for statistical estimation with structured sparsity as the prior. These methods often require a carefully tuned regularization parameter, often a cumbersome or heuristic…

In this paper, we propose a successive convex approximation framework for sparse optimization where the nonsmooth regularization function in the objective function is nonconvex and it can be written as the difference of two convex…

We present complexity and numerical results for a new asynchronous parallel algorithmic method for the minimization of the sum of a smooth nonconvex function and a convex nonsmooth regularizer, subject to both convex and nonconvex…

High-dimensional linear regression under heavy-tailed noise or outlier corruption is challenging, both computationally and statistically. Convex approaches have been proven statistically optimal but suffer from high computational costs,…

Imaging is a standard example of an inverse problem, where the task of reconstructing a ground truth from a noisy measurement is ill-posed. Recent state-of-the-art approaches for imaging use deep learning, spearheaded by unrolled and…

Recently, several nonconvex sparse regularizers which can preserve the convexity of the cost function have received increasing attention. This paper proposes a general class of such convexity-preserving (CP) regularizers, termed partially…

In this paper, we propose a Bayesian MAP estimator for solving the deconvolution problems when the observations are corrupted by Poisson noise. Towards this goal, a proper data fidelity term (log-likelihood) is introduced to reflect the…

In this paper, we introduce a class of nonsmooth nonconvex least square optimization problem using convex analysis tools and we propose to use the iterative minimization-majorization (MM) algorithm on a convex set with initializer away from…

Discrete inverse problems correspond to solving a system of equations in a stable way with respect to noise in the data. A typical approach to enforce uniqueness and select a meaningful solution is to introduce a regularizer. While for most…

In this work we consider numerical efficiency and convergence rates for solvers of non-convex multi-penalty formulations when reconstructing sparse signals from noisy linear measurements. We extend an existing approach, based on reduction…

We consider the minimization of non-convex functions that typically arise in machine learning. Specifically, we focus our attention on a variant of trust region methods known as cubic regularization. This approach is particularly attractive…

We demonstrate that the primal-dual witness proof method may be used to establish variable selection consistency and $\ell_\infty$-bounds for sparse regression problems, even when the loss function and/or regularizer are nonconvex. Using…

For a regularized least squares estimation of discrete-valued signals, we propose a Linearly involved Generalized Moreau Enhanced (LiGME) regularizer, as a nonconvex regularizer, of designated isolated minimizers. The proposed regularizer…

We investigate the high-dimensional linear regression problem in the presence of noise correlated with Gaussian covariates. This correlation, known as endogeneity in regression models, often arises from unobserved variables and other…

Using a Bayesian approach, we consider the problem of recovering sparse signals under additive sparse and dense noise. Typically, sparse noise models outliers, impulse bursts or data loss. To handle sparse noise, existing methods…

We present a new method for minimizing the sum of a differentiable convex function and an $\ell_1$-norm regularizer. The main features of the new method include: $(i)$ an evolving set of indices corresponding to variables that are predicted…

This paper focuses on efficient computational approaches to compute approximate solutions of a linear inverse problem that is contaminated with mixed Poisson--Gaussian noise, and when there are additional outliers in the measured data. The…
