Adaptive Learning-Based Compressive Sampling for Low-power Wireless Implants

Volkan Cevher, Catherine Dehollain, Mahsa Shoaran, Yusuf Leblebici, Gürkan Yilmaz, Cosimo Aprile, Luca Baldassarre, Kerim Türe, Franco Maloberti

Implantable systems are nowadays being used to interface the human brain with external devices, in order to understand and potentially treat neurological disorders. The most predominant design constraints are the system’s area and power. In this paper, we ...

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 ...

Convex block-sparse linear regression with expanders - provably

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh, Anastasios Kyrillidis, Luca Baldassarre, Bubacarr Bah

Sparse matrices are favorable objects in machine learning and optimization. When such matrices are used, in place of dense ones, the overall complexity requirements in optimization can be significantly reduced in practice, both in terms of space and run-ti ...

A Primal-dual Framework For Mixtures Of Regularisers

Volkan Cevher, Cosimo Aprile, Quoc Tran Dinh, Luca Baldassarre, Baran Gözcü

Effectively solving many inverse problems in engineering requires to leverage all possible prior information about the structure of the signal to be estimated. This often leads to tackling constrained optimization problems with mixtures of regularizers. Pr ...

Sparse Group Covers and Greedy Tree Approximations

Volkan Cevher, Luca Baldassarre

We consider the problem of finding a K-sparse approximation of a signal, such that the support of the approximation is the union of sets from a given collection, a.k.a. group structure. This problem subsumes the one of finding K-sparse tree approximations. ...
