Reduced-Dimension Linear Transform Coding of Correlated Signals in Networks
A model, called the linear transform network (LTN), is proposed to analyze
the compression and estimation of correlated signals transmitted over directed
acyclic graphs (DAGs). An LTN is a DAG network with multiple source and
receiver nodes. Source nodes transmit subspace projections of random correlated
signals by applying reduced-dimension linear transforms. The subspace
projections are linearly processed by multiple relays and routed to intended
receivers. Each receiver applies a linear estimator to approximate a subset of
the sources with minimum mean squared error (MSE) distortion. The model is
extended to include noisy networks with power constraints on transmitters. A
key task is to compute all local compression matrices and linear estimators in
the network to minimize end-to-end distortion. The non-convex problem is solved
iteratively within an optimization framework using constrained quadratic
programs (QPs). The proposed algorithm recovers as special cases the regular
and distributed Karhunen-Loeve transforms (KLTs). Cut-set lower bounds on the
distortion region of multi-source, multi-receiver networks are given for linear
coding based on convex relaxations. Cut-set lower bounds are also given for any
coding strategy based on information theory. The distortion region and
compression-estimation tradeoffs are illustrated for different communication
demands (e.g. multiple unicast), and graph structures.Comment: 33 pages, 7 figures, To appear in IEEE Transactions on Signal

Simultaneously Sparse Solutions to Linear Inverse Problems with Multiple System Matrices and a Single Observation Vector
A linear inverse problem is proposed that requires the determination of
multiple unknown signal vectors. Each unknown vector passes through a different
system matrix and the results are added to yield a single observation vector.
Given the matrices and lone observation, the objective is to find a
simultaneously sparse set of unknown vectors that solves the system. We will
refer to this as the multiple-system single-output (MSSO) simultaneous sparsity
problem. This manuscript contrasts the MSSO problem with other simultaneous
sparsity problems and conducts a thorough initial exploration of algorithms
with which to solve it. Seven algorithms are formulated that approximately
solve this NP-Hard problem. Three greedy techniques are developed (matching
pursuit, orthogonal matching pursuit, and least squares matching pursuit) along
with four methods based on a convex relaxation (iteratively reweighted least
squares, two forms of iterative shrinkage, and formulation as a second-order
cone program). The algorithms are evaluated across three experiments: the first
and second involve sparsity profile recovery in noiseless and noisy scenarios,
respectively, while the third deals with magnetic resonance imaging
radio-frequency excitation pulse design.Comment: 36 pages; manuscript unchanged from July 21, 2008, except for updated

On the Sample Complexity of Multichannel Frequency Estimation via Convex Optimization
The use of multichannel data in line spectral estimation (or frequency
estimation) is common for improving the estimation accuracy in array
processing, structural health monitoring, wireless communications, and more.
Recently proposed atomic norm methods have attracted considerable attention due
to their provable superiority in accuracy, flexibility and robustness compared
with conventional approaches. In this paper, we analyze atomic norm
minimization for multichannel frequency estimation from noiseless compressive
data, showing that the sample size per channel that ensures exact estimation
decreases with the increase of the number of channels under mild conditions. In
particular, given channels, order samples per channel, selected randomly from
equispaced samples, suffice to ensure with high probability exact
estimation of frequencies that are normalized and mutually separated by at
least . Numerical results are provided corroborating our analysis.Comment: 14 pages, double column, to appear in IEEE Trans. Information Theor
Solving ill-posed inverse problems using iterative deep neural networks
We propose a partially learned approach for the solution of ill posed inverse
problems with not necessarily linear forward operators. The method builds on
ideas from classical regularization theory and recent advances in deep learning
to perform learning while making use of prior information about the inverse
problem encoded in the forward operator, noise model and a regularizing
functional. The method results in a gradient-like iterative scheme, where the
"gradient" component is learned using a convolutional network that includes the
gradients of the data discrepancy and regularizer as input in each iteration.
We present results of such a partially learned gradient scheme on a non-linear
tomographic inversion problem with simulated data from both the Sheep-Logan
phantom as well as a head CT. The outcome is compared against FBP and TV
reconstruction and the proposed method provides a 5.4 dB PSNR improvement over
the TV reconstruction while being significantly faster, giving reconstructions
of 512 x 512 volumes in about 0.4 seconds using a single GPU
