But the low-rank matrix recovery problem is an NP hard problem and thus challenging. A commonly used heuristic approach is…
Minimizing the nuclear norm of a matrix has been shown to be very efficient in reconstructing a low-rank sampled matrix. Furthermore, minimizing the sum of nuclear norms of matricizations of a tensor has been shown to be very efficient in recovering a low-Tucker-rank sampled tensor. In this paper, we propose to recover…
Recently theoretical guarantees have been obtained for matrix completion in the non-uniform sampling regime. In particular, if the sampling distribution aligns with the underlying matrix's leverage scores, then with high probability nuclear norm minimization will exactly recover the low rank matrix. In this article, we…

Recovering a large matrix from limited measurements is a challenging task arising in many real applications, such as image inpainting, compressive sensing and medical imaging, and this kind of problems are mostly formulated as low-rank matrix approximation problems. Due to the rank operator being non-convex and discont…
In this paper, a new definition of tensor p-shrinkage nuclear norm (p-TNN) is proposed based on tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD). In particular, it can be proved that p-TNN is a better approximation of the tensor average rank than the tensor nuclear norm when p < 1. Therefore, by employing the p-shrinkage nu…
Rank minimization has attracted a lot of attention due to its robustness in data recovery. To overcome the computational difficulty, rank is often replaced with nuclear norm. For several rank minimization problems, such a replacement has been theoretically proven to be valid, i.e., the solution to nuclear norm minimiza…

Our algorithm iteratively replaces the missing…
Matrix completion works well for smooth non-linear structures, even without low-rank assumptions.
Matrix rank minimizing subject to affine constraints arises in many application areas, ranging from signal processing to machine learning. Nuclear norm is a convex relaxation for this problem which can recover the rank exactly under some restricted and theoretically interesting conditions. However, for many real-world …
Many problems can be formulated as recovering a low-rank tensor. Although an increasingly common task, tensor recovery remains a challenging problem because of the delicacy associated with the decomposition of higher order tensors. To overcome these difficulties, existing approaches often proceed by unfolding tensors i…
In this paper, we investigate the sample size requirement for a general class of nuclear norm minimization methods for higher order tensor completion. We introduce a class of tensor norms by allowing for different levels of coherence, which allows us to leverage the incoherence of a tensor. In particular, we show that …
Recovering a low-rank tensor from incomplete information is a recurring problem in signal processing and machine learning. The most popular convex relaxation of this problem minimizes the sum of the nuclear norms of the unfoldings of the tensor. We show that this approach can be substantially suboptimal: reliably recov…
We give a formal and complete characterization of the explicit regularizer induced by dropout in deep linear networks with squared loss.
