Fast Optimization Methods for L1 Regularization: A Comparative Study and Two New Approaches
L1 regularization is effective for feature selection, but the resulting optimization is challenging due to the non-differentiability of the 1-norm. In this paper we compare state...

Sparse Gaussian graphical models with unknown block structure
Recent work has shown that one can learn the structure of Gaussian Graphical Models by imposing an L1 penalty on the precision matrix, and then using efficient convex optimization...
