Robust Multi-task Regression with Grossly Corrupted Observations
We consider the multiple-response regression problem, where the response is subject to sparse gross errors, in the high-dimensional setup. We propose a tractable regularized M-est...

Bayesian Quadrature for Ratios
We describe a novel approach to quadrature for ratios of probabilistic integrals, such as are used to compute posterior probabilities. This approach offers performance superior t...

Age-Layered Expectation Maximization for Parameter Learning in Bayesian Networks
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...

A General Framework for Structured Sparsity via Proximal Optimization
We study a generalized framework for structured sparsity. It extends the well known methods of Lasso and Group Lasso by incorporating additional constraints on the variables as pa...

Exact Covariance Thresholding into Connected Components for Large-Scale Graphical Lasso
We consider the sparse inverse covariance regularization problem or graphical lasso with regularization parameter λ. Suppose the sample covariance graph formed by thresholding th...
