The versatility of exponential families, along with their attendant convexity properties, make them a popular and effective statistical model. A central issue is learning these mo...
We propose a new learning algorithm for the set covering machine and a tight data-compression risk bound that the learner can use for choosing the appropriate tradeoff between the ...
In spite of the popularity of probabilistic mixture models for latent structure discovery from data, mixture models do not have a natural mechanism for handling sparsity, where ea...
We introduce a new method -- the group Dantzig selector -- for high dimensional sparse regression with group structure, which has a convincing theory about why utilizing the group...
Abstract—This paper introduces a novel examplar-based inpainting algorithm through investigating the sparsity of natural image patches. Two novel concepts of sparsity at the patc...
