We introduce a general framework to handle structured models (sparse and block-sparse with possibly overlapping blocks). We discuss new methods for their recovery from incomplete observation, corrupted with deterministic and stochastic noise, using block- regularization. While the current theory provides promis…

We consider the mixed regression problem with two components, under adversarial and stochastic noise. We give a convex optimization formulation that provably recovers the true solution, and provide upper bounds on the recovery errors for both arbitrary noise and stochastic noise settings. We also give matching minimax …
WPCA improves subspace recovery robustness to outliers.
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the underlying graph associated with an Ising model given a number of independent and identically distributed samples. We adopt an \emph{approximate recovery} criterion that allows for a number of missed edges or incorrectly-included edges, in contrast with the widel…
Higher-order tensors can represent scores in a rating system, frames in a video, and images of the same subject. In practice, the measurements are often highly quantized due to the sampling strategies or the quality of devices. Existing works on tensor recovery have focused on data losses and random noises. Only a few …

New method explains computational barriers in high-dimensional statistical models.
We provide recovery guarantees for compressible signals that have been corrupted with noise and extend the framework introduced in \cite{bafna2018thwarting} to defend neural networks against -norm, -norm, and -norm attacks. Our results are general as they can be applied to most unitary tr…
New method improves dictionary recovery from over-realized models.
We study the problem of corrupted sensing, a generalization of compressed sensing in which one aims to recover a signal from a collection of corrupted or unreliable measurements. While an arbitrary signal cannot be recovered in the face of arbitrary corruption, tractable recovery is possible when both signal and corrup…
Study shows DNNs can recover functions with fewer samples than model parameters at overparameterization.
We discuss a general notion of "sparsity structure" and associated recoveries of a sparse signal from its linear image of reduced dimension possibly corrupted with noise. Our approach allows for unified treatment of (a) the "usual sparsity" and "usual recovery," (b) block-sparsity with possibly overlapping blo…

The problem of population recovery refers to estimating a distribution based on incomplete or corrupted samples. Consider a random poll of sample size conducted on a population of individuals, where each pollee is asked to answer binary questions. We consider one of the two polling impediments: (a) in lossy pop…
We extend the theory of low-rank matrix recovery and completion to the case when Poisson observations for a linear combination or a subset of the entries of a matrix are available, which arises in various applications with count data. We consider the usual matrix recovery formulation through maximum likelihood with pro…
Nonconvex matrix recovery is known to contain no spurious local minima under a restricted isometry property (RIP) with a sufficiently small RIP constant . If is too large, however, then counterexamples containing spurious local minima are known to exist. In this paper, we introduce a proof technique that is capa…

We show that there are no spurious local minima in the non-convex factorized parametrization of low-rank matrix recovery from incoherent linear measurements. With noisy measurements we show all local minima are very close to a global optimum. Together with a curvature bound at saddle points, this yields a polynomial ti…
In this paper, we study the problem of recovering a group sparse vector from a small number of linear measurements. In the past the common approach has been to use various "group sparsity-inducing" norms such as the Group LASSO norm for this purpose. By using the theory of convex relaxations, we show that it is also po…
We consider the Orthogonal Least-Squares (OLS) algorithm for the recovery of a -dimensional -sparse signal from a low number of noisy linear measurements. The Exact Recovery Condition (ERC) in bounded noisy scenario is established for OLS under certain condition on nonzero elements of the signal. The new result a…
In this paper, we develop a relative error bound for nuclear norm regularized matrix completion, with the focus on the completion of full-rank matrices. Under the assumption that the top eigenspaces of the target matrix are incoherent, we derive a relative upper bound for recovering the best low-rank approximation of t…

The recent proposed Tensor Nuclear Norm (TNN) [Lu et al., 2016; 2018a] is an interesting convex penalty induced by the tensor SVD [Kilmer and Martin, 2011]. It plays a similar role as the matrix nuclear norm which is the convex surrogate of the matrix rank. Considering that the TNN based Tensor Robust PCA [Lu et al., 2…
