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...

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...
One approach to modeling structured discrete data is to describe the probability of states via an energy function and Gibbs distribution. A recurring difficulty in these models is...

In this paper, we propose a second order optimization method to learn models where both the dimensionality of the parameter space and the number of training samples is high. In ou...
The main theme of this paper is to develop a novel eigenvalue optimization framework for learning a Mahalanobis metric. Within this context, we introduce a novel metric learning a...
