We consider regularized stochastic learning and online optimization problems, where the objective function is the sum of two convex terms: one is the loss function of the learning...
Max-margin Markov networks (M3 N) have shown great promise in structured prediction and relational learning. Due to the KKT conditions, the M3 N enjoys dual sparsity. However, the...
We explore sparse regression for effective feature selection and classification in face identity and expression recognition. We argue that sparse regression in pixel space is inap...
Sparse image reconstruction is of interest in the fields of radioastronomy and molecular imaging. The observation is assumed to be a linear transformation of the image, and corrup...
Gaussian graphical models are of great interest in statistical learning. Because the conditional independencies between different nodes correspond to zero entries in the inverse c...
