Deep-unrolling and plug-and-play (PnP) approaches have become the de-facto standard solvers for single-pixel imaging (SPI) inverse problem. PnP approaches, a class of iterative algorithms where regularization is implicitly performed by an…

Current algorithms for large-scale industrial optimization problems typically face a trade-off: they either require exponential time to reach optimal solutions, or employ problem-specific heuristics. To overcome these limitations, we…

Quadratic optimization problems (QPs) are ubiquitous, and solution algorithms have matured to a reliable technology. However, the precision of solutions is usually limited due to the underlying floating-point operations. This may cause…

Next generation communications demand for better spectrum management, lower latency, and guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS). Recently, Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely introduced to advance these aspects in next generation…

The Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm is a classical optimization method that has found many applications. When specialized to two normal cone operators, it yields an algorithm for finding a point in the intersection of two convex sets.…

Distributionally robust reinforcement learning (DRRL) focuses on designing policies that achieve good performance under model uncertainties. The goal is to maximize the worst-case long-term discounted reward, where the data for RL comes…
