We consider the problem of jointly recovering the vector b and the matrix C from noisy measurementsY=A(b)C+W , where A(⋅) is a known affine linear function of b (i.e., A(b)=A0 +∑Qi=1biAi with known matrices Ai ). This problem has applications in matrix completion, robust PCA, dictionary learning, self-calibration, blind deconvolution, joint-channel/symbol estimation, compressive sensing with matrix uncertainty, and many other tasks.

In this paper, we address the problem of recovering point sources from two-dimensional low-pass measurements, which is known as the super-resolution problem. This is the fundamental concern of many applications such as electronic imaging, optics, microscopy, and line spectral estimations. We assume that the point sources are located in the square [0,1]2 with unknown locations and complex amplitudes.

In this paper, we bridge the problem of (provably) learning shallow neural networks with the well-studied problem of low-rank matrix estimation. In particular, we consider two-layer networks with quadratic activations, and focus on the under-parameterized regime where the number of neurons in the hidden layer is smaller than the dimension of the input.

In this paper, we aim at designing sets of binary sequences with good aperiodic/periodic auto- and cross-correlation functions for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. We show that such a set of sequences can be obtained by minimizing a weighted sum of peak sidelobe level (PSL) and integrated sidelobe level (ISL) with the binary element constraint at the design stage.

This paper presents a flexible array response control algorithm via oblique projection, abbreviated as FARCOP, and its application to array pattern synthesis. The proposed FARCOP algorithm stems from the adaptive array theory, and it can flexibly, precisely and simultaneously adjust the array response levels at multiple angles based on an arbitrarily given weight vector.

Intelligent mobile platforms such as smart vehicles and drones have recently become the focus of attention for onboard deployment of machine learning mechanisms to enable low latency decisions with low risk of privacy breach.

In this paper, we propose a novel sparse signal recovery algorithm called the trainable iterative soft thresholding algorithm (TISTA). The proposed algorithm consists of two estimation units: a linear estimation unit and a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator based shrinkage unit.

In classification theory, it is generally assumed that the data are independent and identically distributed. However, in many practical applications, we face a set of observations that are collected sequentially with a dependence structure among samples.

It is well known that the convergence of Gaussian belief propagation (BP) is not guaranteed in loopy graphs. The classical convergence conditions, including diagonal dominance, walk-summability, and convex decomposition, are derived under pairwise factorizations of the joint Gaussian distribution. However, many applications run Gaussian BP under high-order factorizations, making the classical results not applicable.

Spike estimation from calcium (Ca 2+ ) fluorescence signals is a fundamental and challenging problem in neuroscience. Several models and algorithms have been proposed for this task over the past decade. Nevertheless, it is still hard to achieve accurate spike positions from the Ca 2+ fluorescence signals. While existing methods rely on data-driven methods and the physiology of neurons for modeling the spiking process, this paper exploits the nature of the fluorescence responses to spikes using signal processing.
