Rectified Gaussian Scale Mixtures and the Sparse Non-Negative Least Squares Problem
In this paper, we develop a Bayesian evidence maximization framework to solve
the sparse non-negative least squares (S-NNLS) problem. We introduce a family
of probability densities referred to as the Rectified Gaussian Scale Mixture
(R- GSM) to model the sparsity enforcing prior distribution for the solution.
The R-GSM prior encompasses a variety of heavy-tailed densities such as the
rectified Laplacian and rectified Student- t distributions with a proper choice
of the mixing density. We utilize the hierarchical representation induced by
the R-GSM prior and develop an evidence maximization framework based on the
Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. Using the EM based method, we estimate
the hyper-parameters and obtain a point estimate for the solution. We refer to
the proposed method as rectified sparse Bayesian learning (R-SBL). We provide
four R- SBL variants that offer a range of options for computational complexity
and the quality of the E-step computation. These methods include the Markov
chain Monte Carlo EM, linear minimum mean-square-error estimation, approximate
message passing and a diagonal approximation. Using numerical experiments, we
show that the proposed R-SBL method outperforms existing S-NNLS solvers in
terms of both signal and support recovery performance, and is also very robust
against the structure of the design matrix.Comment: Under Review by IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Dynamic Compressive Sensing of Time-Varying Signals via Approximate Message Passing
In this work the dynamic compressive sensing (CS) problem of recovering
sparse, correlated, time-varying signals from sub-Nyquist, non-adaptive, linear
measurements is explored from a Bayesian perspective. While there has been a
handful of previously proposed Bayesian dynamic CS algorithms in the
literature, the ability to perform inference on high-dimensional problems in a
computationally efficient manner remains elusive. In response, we propose a
probabilistic dynamic CS signal model that captures both amplitude and support
correlation structure, and describe an approximate message passing algorithm
that performs soft signal estimation and support detection with a computational
complexity that is linear in all problem dimensions. The algorithm, DCS-AMP,
can perform either causal filtering or non-causal smoothing, and is capable of
learning model parameters adaptively from the data through an
expectation-maximization learning procedure. We provide numerical evidence that
DCS-AMP performs within 3 dB of oracle bounds on synthetic data under a variety
of operating conditions. We further describe the result of applying DCS-AMP to
two real dynamic CS datasets, as well as a frequency estimation task, to
bolster our claim that DCS-AMP is capable of offering state-of-the-art
performance and speed on real-world high-dimensional problems.Comment: 32 pages, 7 figure
