Fast learning rate of multiple kernel learning: Trade-off between sparsity and smoothness
We investigate the learning rate of multiple kernel learning (MKL) with
and elastic-net regularizations. The elastic-net regularization is a
composition of an -regularizer for inducing the sparsity and an
-regularizer for controlling the smoothness. We focus on a sparse
setting where the total number of kernels is large, but the number of nonzero
components of the ground truth is relatively small, and show sharper
convergence rates than the learning rates have ever shown for both and
elastic-net regularizations. Our analysis reveals some relations between the
choice of a regularization function and the performance. If the ground truth is
smooth, we show a faster convergence rate for the elastic-net regularization
with less conditions than -regularization; otherwise, a faster
convergence rate for the -regularization is shown.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/13-AOS1095 the Annals of

Recent Progress in Image Deblurring
This paper comprehensively reviews the recent development of image
deblurring, including non-blind/blind, spatially invariant/variant deblurring
techniques. Indeed, these techniques share the same objective of inferring a
latent sharp image from one or several corresponding blurry images, while the
blind deblurring techniques are also required to derive an accurate blur
kernel. Considering the critical role of image restoration in modern imaging
systems to provide high-quality images under complex environments such as
motion, undesirable lighting conditions, and imperfect system components, image
deblurring has attracted growing attention in recent years. From the viewpoint
of how to handle the ill-posedness which is a crucial issue in deblurring
tasks, existing methods can be grouped into five categories: Bayesian inference
framework, variational methods, sparse representation-based methods,
homography-based modeling, and region-based methods. In spite of achieving a
certain level of development, image deblurring, especially the blind case, is
limited in its success by complex application conditions which make the blur
kernel hard to obtain and be spatially variant. We provide a holistic
understanding and deep insight into image deblurring in this review. An
analysis of the empirical evidence for representative methods, practical
issues, as well as a discussion of promising future directions are also
presented.Comment: 53 pages, 17 figure
