Approximation Lasso Methods for Language Modeling
Lasso is a regularization method for parameter estimation in linear models. It optimizes the model parameters with respect to a loss function subject to model complexities. This p...

A General Framework for Structured Sparsity via Proximal Optimization
We study a generalized framework for structured sparsity. It extends the well known methods of Lasso and Group Lasso by incorporating additional constraints on the variables as pa...

Robust nonparametric regression by controlling sparsity
Nonparametric methods are widely applicable to statistical learning problems, since they rely on a few modeling assumptions. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeat...

A Sparse Parametric Mixture Model for BTF Compression, Editing and Rendering
Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) represent the appearance of complex materials. Three major shortcomings with BTFs are the bulky storage, the difficulty in editing and the ...
