Sparse coding, which represents a data point as a sparse reconstruction code with regard to a dictionary, has been a popular data representation method. Meanwhile, in database retrieval problems, learning the ranking scores from data points plays an important role. Up to now, these two problems have always been conside…
Concave regularization methods provide natural procedures for sparse recovery. However, they are difficult to analyze in the high dimensional setting. Only recently a few sparse recovery results have been established for some specific local solutions obtained via specialized numerical procedures. Still, the fundamental…
Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to improve generalization performance by learning multiple related tasks simultaneously. While sometimes the underlying task relationship structure is known, often the structure needs to be estimated from data at hand. In this paper, we present a novel family of models for MTL, applicable…

In many compressive sensing problems today, the relationship between the measurements and the unknowns could be nonlinear. Traditional treatment of such nonlinear relationships have been to approximate the nonlinearity via a linear model and the subsequent un-modeled dynamics as noise. The ability to more accurately ch…

There has been a lot of work fitting Ising models to multivariate binary data in order to understand the conditional dependency relationships between the variables. However, additional covariates are frequently recorded together with the binary data, and may influence the dependence relationships. Motivated by such a d…
Canonical correlation analysis was proposed by Hotelling [6] and it measures linear relationship between two multidimensional variables. In high dimensional setting, the classical canonical correlation analysis breaks down. We propose a sparse canonical correlation analysis by adding l1 constraints on the canonical vec…

We propose a nonparametric method for detecting nonlinear causal relationship within a set of multidimensional discrete time series, by using sparse additive models (SpAMs). We show that, when the input to the SpAM is a -mixing time series, the model can be fitted by first approximating each unknown function with a …

Sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) has received considerable attention in high-dimensional data analysis to study the relationship between two sets of random variables. However, there has been remarkably little theoretical statistical foundation on sparse CCA in high-dimensional settings despite active methodo…

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…
