Proceedings of the second "international Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST'14)
The implicit objective of the biennial "international - Traveling Workshop on
Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST) is to foster
collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas
through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For its
second edition, the iTWIST workshop took place in the medieval and picturesque
town of Namur in Belgium, from Wednesday August 27th till Friday August 29th,
2014. The workshop was conveniently located in "The Arsenal" building within
walking distance of both hotels and town center. iTWIST'14 has gathered about
70 international participants and has featured 9 invited talks, 10 oral
presentations, and 14 posters on the following themes, all related to the
theory, application and generalization of the "sparsity paradigm":
Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing; Union of low dimensional
subspaces; Beyond linear and convex inverse problem; Matrix/manifold/graph
sensing/processing; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Sparsity
and computational neuroscience; Information theory, geometry and randomness;
Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods; Sparsity? What's next?;
Sparse machine learning and inference.Comment: 69 pages, 24 extended abstracts, iTWIST'14 website:

Sparse Distributed Learning Based on Diffusion Adaptation
This article proposes diffusion LMS strategies for distributed estimation
over adaptive networks that are able to exploit sparsity in the underlying
system model. The approach relies on convex regularization, common in
compressive sensing, to enhance the detection of sparsity via a diffusive
process over the network. The resulting algorithms endow networks with learning
abilities and allow them to learn the sparse structure from the incoming data
in real-time, and also to track variations in the sparsity of the model. We
provide convergence and mean-square performance analysis of the proposed method
and show under what conditions it outperforms the unregularized diffusion
version. We also show how to adaptively select the regularization parameter.
Simulation results illustrate the advantage of the proposed filters for sparse
data recovery.Comment: to appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, 201
