The stochastic mirror descent (SMD) algorithm is a general class of training algorithms that utilizes a mirror potential to influence the implicit bias of the training algorithm and includes stochastic gradient descent (SGD) as a special case. In this paper, we explore the performance of the SMD on…
Logistic models are commonly used for binary classification tasks. The success of such models has often been attributed to their connection to maximum-likelihood estimators. It has been shown that gradient descent algorithm, when applied on the logistic loss, converges to the max-margin classifier (…
We study the performance of a convex data detection method in large multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The goal is to recover an n-dimensional complex signal whose entries are from an arbitrary constellation D C C, using m noisy linear measurements. Since the Maximum Likelihood (ML) esti…
Logistic regression is commonly used for modeling dichotomous outcomes. In the classical setting, where the number of observations is much larger than the number of parameters, properties of the maximum likelihood estimator in logistic regression are well understood. Recently, Sur and Candes~\cite{s…
We study the problem of recovering a structured signal from independently and identically drawn linear measurements. A convex penalty function $f(\cdot)$ is considered which penalizes deviations from the desired structure, and signal recovery is performed by minimizing $f(\cdot)$ subject to the line…
The problem of estimating an unknown signal, $\mathbf x_0\in \mathbb R^n$, from a vector $\mathbf y\in \mathbb R^m$ consisting of $m$ magnitude-only measurements of the form $y_i=|\mathbf a_i\mathbf x_0|$, where $\mathbf a_i$'s are the rows of a known measurement matrix $\mathbf A$ is a classical p…
Phaseless super-resolution is the problem of recovering an unknown signal from measurements of the “magnitudes” of the “low frequency” Fourier transform of the signal. This problem arises in applications where measuring the phase, and making high-frequency measurements, are either too costly or alto…
