This work proposes an adaptive trace lasso regularized L1-norm based graph cut method for dimensionality reduction of Hyperspectral images, called as `Trace Lasso-L1 Graph Cut' (TL-L1GC). The underlying idea of this method is to generate the optimal projection matrix by considering both the sparsity as well as the corr…

This paper addresses the problem of sparsity penalized least squares for applications in sparse signal processing, e.g. sparse deconvolution.

This study evaluates Lx-norm penalties for resolving complex LC-MS data.

We propose two sparsity-aware normalized subband adaptive filter (NSAF) algorithms by using the gradient descent method to minimize a combination of the original NSAF cost function and the l1-norm penalty function on the filter coefficients. This l1-norm penalty exploits the sparsity of a system in the coefficients upd…

Sparse reconstruction approaches using the re-weighted l1-penalty have been shown, both empirically and theoretically, to provide a significant improvement in recovering sparse signals in comparison to the l1-relaxation. However, numerical optimization of such penalties involves solving problems with l1-norms in the ob…

A l1-norm penalized orthogonal forward regression (l1-POFR) algorithm is proposed based on the concept of leaveone- out mean square error (LOOMSE). Firstly, a new l1-norm penalized cost function is defined in the constructed orthogonal space, and each orthogonal basis is associated with an individually tunable regulari…

We present an algorithm for L1-norm kernel PCA and provide a convergence analysis for it. While an optimal solution of L2-norm kernel PCA can be obtained through matrix decomposition, finding that of L1-norm kernel PCA is not trivial due to its non-convexity and non-smoothness. We provide a novel reformulation through …

A typical approach in estimating the learning rate of a regularized learning scheme is to bound the approximation error by the sum of the sampling error, the hypothesis error and the regularization error. Using a reproducing kernel space that satisfies the linear representer theorem brings the advantage of discarding t…

Targeting at sparse learning, we construct Banach spaces B of functions on an input space X with the properties that (1) B possesses an l1 norm in the sense that it is isometrically isomorphic to the Banach space of integrable functions on X with respect to the counting measure; (2) point evaluations are continuous lin…

In this paper, we propose a novel linear discriminant analysis criterion via the Bhattacharyya error bound estimation based on a novel L1-norm (L1BLDA) and L2-norm (L2BLDA). Both L1BLDA and L2BLDA maximize the between-class scatters which are measured by the weighted pairwise distances of class means and meanwhile mini…

To recover a sparse signal from an underdetermined system, we often solve a constrained L1-norm minimization problem. In many cases, the signal sparsity and the recovery performance can be further improved by replacing the L1 norm with a "weighted" L1 norm. Without any prior information about nonzero elements of the si…

Principal component analysis (PCA) is often used to reduce the dimension of data by selecting a few orthonormal vectors that explain most of the variance structure of the data. L1 PCA uses the L1 norm to measure error, whereas the conventional PCA uses the L2 norm. For the L1 PCA problem minimizing the fitting error of…

Source imaging based on magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) allows for the non-invasive analysis of brain activity with high temporal and good spatial resolution. As the bioelectromagnetic inverse problem is ill-posed, constraints are required. For the analysis of evoked brain activity, spatia…

For supervised and unsupervised learning, positive definite kernels allow to use large and potentially infinite dimensional feature spaces with a computational cost that only depends on the number of observations. This is usually done through the penalization of predictor functions by Euclidean or Hilbertian norms. In …

Most of the existing methods for sparse signal recovery assume a static system: the unknown signal is a finite-length vector for which a fixed set of linear measurements and a sparse representation basis are available and an L1-norm minimization program is solved for the reconstruction. However, the same representation…
