Approximate Message Passing under Finite Alphabet Constraints
In this paper we consider Basis Pursuit De-Noising (BPDN) problems in which
the sparse original signal is drawn from a finite alphabet. To solve this
problem we propose an iterative message passing algorithm, which capitalises
not only on the sparsity but by means of a prior distribution also on the
discrete nature of the original signal. In our numerical experiments we test
this algorithm in combination with a Rademacher measurement matrix and a
measurement matrix derived from the random demodulator, which enables
compressive sampling of analogue signals. Our results show in both cases
significant performance gains over a linear programming based approach to the
considered BPDN problem. We also compare the proposed algorithm to a similar
message passing based algorithm without prior knowledge and observe an even
larger performance improvement.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in IEEE International Conference on

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:
