Limits on Support Recovery With Probabilistic Models: An Information-Theoretic Framework

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The support recovery problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of variables that is relevant in generating a set of observations, and arises in a diverse range of settings, such as compressive sensing, subset selection in regression, and gro ...

Phase Transitions in the Pooled Data Problem

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we study the {\em pooled data} problem of identifying the labels associated with a large collection of items, based on a sequence of pooled tests revealing the counts of each label within the pool. In the noiseless setting, we identify an ex ...

Smoothing technique for nonsmooth composite minimization with linear operator

Volkan Cevher, Van Quang Nguyen

We introduce and analyze an algorithm for the minimization of convex functions that are the sum of differentiable terms and proximable terms composed with linear operators. The method builds upon the recently developed smoothed gap technique. In addition t ...

Streaming Robust Submodular Maximization: A Partitioned Thresholding Approach

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Jakub Tarnawski

We study the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint k, with two additional twists: (i) elements arrive in a streaming fashion and (ii) m items from the algorithm’s memory might be removed after th ...

Practical Sketching Algorithms For Low-Rank Matrix Approximation

Volkan Cevher, Alp Yurtsever

This paper describes a suite of algorithms for constructing low-rank approximations of an input matrix from a random linear image, or sketch, of the matrix. These methods can preserve structural properties of the input matrix, such as positive-semidefinite ...

How little does non-exact recovery help in group testing?

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

We consider the group testing problem, in which one seeks to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on a number of tests. We characterize the information-theoretic performance limits in the presence of list decoding, in whi ...

Faster Coordinate Descent via Adaptive Importance Sampling

Volkan Cevher, Dmytro Perekrestenko, Martin Jaggi

Coordinate descent methods employ random partial updates of decision variables in order to solve huge-scale convex optimization problems. In this work, we introduce new adaptive rules for the random selection of their updates. By adaptive, we mean that our ...

General Proximal Gradient Method: A Case for Non-Euclidean Norms

Volkan Cevher, Marwa El Halabi, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Cong Bang Vu, Van Quang Nguyen

In this paper, we consider composite convex minimization problems. We advocate the merit of considering Generalized Proximal gradient Methods (GPM) where the norm employed is not Euclidean. To that end, we show the tractability of the general proximity ope ...

Robust Submodular Maximization: A Non-Uniform Partitioning Approach

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

We study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint

An Efficient Streaming Algorithm for the Submodular Cover Problem

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Marwa El Halabi, Abbas Bazzi, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Ya-Ping Hsieh

We initiate the study of the classical Submodular Cover (SC) problem in the data streaming model which we refer to as the Streaming Submodular Cover (SSC). We show that any single pass streaming algorithm using sublinear memory in the size of the stream wi ...

Converse Bounds for Noisy Group Testing with Arbitrary Measurement Matrices

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

We consider the group testing problem, in which one seeks to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on a number of noisy tests. While matching achievability and converse bounds are known in several cases of interest for i.i ...

Group-Sparse Model Selection: Hardness and Relaxations

Volkan Cevher, Anastasios Kyrillidis, Luca Baldassarre, Nirav Bhan

Group-based sparsity models are proven instrumental in linear regression problems for recovering signals from much fewer measurements than standard compressive sensing. The main promise of these models is the recovery of ``interpretable" signals along with ...

Phase Transitions in Group Testing

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are ``defective'' based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as medical testing, fault detection, communication protocols, pattern matching, and ...

Limits on Sparse Support Recovery via Linear Sketching with Random Expander Matrices

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

Linear sketching is a powerful tool for the problem of sparse signal recovery, having numerous applications such as compressive sensing, data stream computing, graph sketching, and routing. Motivated by applications where the \emph{positions} of the non-ze ...

Fixed Points of Generalized Approximate Message Passing with Arbitrary Matrices

Volkan Cevher

The estimation of a random vector with independent components passed through a linear transform followed by a componentwise (possibly nonlinear) output map arises in a range of applications. Approximate message passing (AMP) methods, based on Gaussian appr ...

Learning Data Triage: Linear Decoding Works for Compressive MRI

Volkan Cevher, Yen-Huan Li

The standard approach to compressive sampling considers recovering an unknown deterministic signal with certain known structure, and designing the sub-sampling pattern and recovery algorithm based on the known structure. This approach requires looking for ...

On the Difficulty of Selecting Ising Models with Approximate Recovery

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

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 approximate recovery criterion that allows for a number of missed edges ...

This paper presents a non-asymptotic upper bound for the estimation error of the constrained lasso, under the high-dimensional (
