RECOVERING WASSERSTEIN DISTANCE MATRICES FROM FEW MEASUREMENTS

ICASSP 2026poster

This paper proposes two algorithms for estimating square Wasserstein distance matrices from a small number of entries. These matrices are used to compute manifold learning embeddings like multidimensional scaling (MDS) or Isomap, but contrary to Euclidean distance matrices, are extremely costly to c…

Explainable Adversarial Attacks on Coarse-to-Fine Classifiers

ICASSP 2025accepted

Traditional adversarial attacks typically aim to alter the predicted labels of input images by generating perturbations that are imperceptible to the human eye. However, these approaches often lack explainability. Moreover, most existing work on adversarial attacks focuses on single-stage classifier…

Guarantees of a Preconditioned Subgradient Algorithm for Overparameterized Asymmetric Low-rank Matrix Recovery

ICML 2025poster

In this paper, we focus on a matrix factorization-based approach for robust recovery of low-rank asymmetric matrices from corrupted measurements. We propose an Overparameterized Preconditioned Subgradient Algorithm (OPSA) and provide, for the first time in the literature, linear convergence rates…

Non-Convex Approaches for Low-Rank Tensor Completion under Tubal Sampling

ICASSP 2023accepted

Tensor completion is an important problem in modern data analysis. In this work, we investigate a specific sampling strategy, referred to as tubal sampling. We propose two novel non-convex tensor completion frameworks that are easy to implement, named tensor L <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/…

Towards Constituting Mathematical Structures for Learning to Optimize

ICML 2023poster

Learning to Optimize (L2O), a technique that utilizes machine learning to learn an optimization algorithm automatically from data, has gained arising attention in recent years. A generic L2O approach parameterizes the iterative update rule and learns the update direction as a black-box network. Whil…

A Zeroth-Order Block Coordinate Descent Algorithm for Huge-Scale Black-Box Optimization

ICML 2021spotlight

We consider the zeroth-order optimization problem in the huge-scale setting, where the dimension of the problem is so large that performing even basic vector operations on the decision variables is infeasible. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, coined ZO-BCD, that exhibits favorable overal…

Learned Robust PCA: A Scalable Deep Unfolding Approach for High-Dimensional Outlier Detection

NeurIPS 2021poster

Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) is a critical tool in modern machine learning, which detects outliers in the task of low-rank matrix reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a scalable and learnable non-convex approach for high-dimensional RPCA problems, which we call Learned Robust PCA…
