Blind deconvolution is the problem of recovering a convolutional kernel and an activation signal from their convolution y = a0 * x0. This ill-posed without further constraints or priors. paper studies situation where nonzero entries in are sparsely randomly populated. We normalize to have unit Frobenius norm cast sparse blind as nonconvex optimization over sphere. With this spherical constraint, every spurious local minimum turns out be close some signed shift truncation ground truth, under...

Recovering matrices from compressive and grossly corrupted observations is a fundamental problem in robust statistics, with rich applications computer vision machine learning. In theory, under certain conditions, this can be solved polynomial time via natural convex relaxation, known as principal component pursuit (CPCP). However, many existing provably convergent algorithms for CPCP suffer superlinear per-iteration cost, which severely limits their applicability to large-scale problems....

This paper develops new methods to recover the missing entries of a high-rank or even full-rank matrix when intrinsic dimension data is low compared ambient dimension. Specifically, we assume that columns are generated by polynomials acting on low-dimensional variable, and wish under this assumption. We show can identify complete minimum minimizing rank in high dimensional feature space. develop formulation resulting problem using kernel trick together with relaxation objective, propose an...

As science and engineering have become increasingly data-driven, the role of optimization has expanded to touch almost every stage data analysis pipeline, from signal acquisition modeling prediction. The problems encountered in practice are often nonconvex. While challenges vary problem problem, one common source nonconvexity is nonlinearity or measurement model. Nonlinear models exhibit symmetries, creating complicated, nonconvex objective landscapes, with multiple equivalent solutions....

Abstract Modern high-resolution microscopes are commonly used to study specimens that have dense and aperiodic spatial structure. Extracting meaningful information from images obtained such remains a formidable challenge. Fourier analysis is analyze the structure of images. However, transform fundamentally suffers severe phase noise when applied Here, we report development an algorithm based on nonconvex optimization directly uncovers fundamental motifs present in real-space image. Apart...

We investigate the landscape of negative log-likelihood function Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) with a general number components in population limit. As objective is non-convex, there can exist multiple spurious local minima that are not globally optimal, even for well-separated mixture models. Our study reveals all share common structure partially identifies cluster centers (i.e., means components) true location mixture. Specifically, each minimum be represented as non-overlapping...

Abstract Semi-supervised (SS) inference has received much attention in recent years. Apart from a moderate-sized labeled data, $\mathcal L$, the SS setting is characterized by an additional, larger sized, unlabeled U$. The of $|\mathcal U\ |\gg |\mathcal L\ |$, makes unique and different standard missing data problems, owing to natural violation so-called ‘positivity’ or ‘overlap’ assumption. However, most literature implicitly assumes L$ U$ be equally distributed, i.e., no selection bias...
