Fast General Norm Approximation via Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares

چکیده
This paper describes an efficient method for general norm approximation that appears frequently in various computer vision problems. Such a lot of problems are differently formulated, but frequently require to minimize the sum of weighted norms as the general norm approximation. Therefore we extend Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares (IRLS) that is originally for minimizing single norm. The proposed method accelerates solving the least-square problem in IRLS by warm start that finds the next solution by the previous solution over iterations. Through numerical tests and application to the computer vision problems, we demonstrate that the proposed method solves the general norm approximation efficiently with small errors.

Low-rank Matrix Recovery via Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares Minimization
We present and analyze an efficient implementation of an iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm for recovering a matrix from a small number of linear measurements. The algorithm is designed for the simultaneous promotion of both a minimal nuclear norm and an approximatively low-rank solution. Under the assumption that the linear measurements fulfill a suitable generalization of the null...
متن کاملIteratively-Reweighted Least-Squares Fitting of Support Vector Machines: A Majorization-Minimization Algorithm Approach
Support vector machines (SVMs) are an important tool in modern data analysis. Traditionally, support vector machines have been fitted via quadratic programming, either using purpose-built or off-the-shelf algorithms. We present an alternative approach to SVM fitting via the majorization–minimization (MM) paradigm. Algorithms that are derived via MM algorithm constructions can be shown to monoto...

متن کاملProximal linearized iteratively reweighted least squares for a class of nonconvex and nonsmooth problems
For solving a wide class of nonconvex and nonsmooth problems, we propose a proximal linearized iteratively reweighted least squares (PL-IRLS) algorithm. We first approximate the original problem by smoothing methods, and second write the approximated problem into an auxiliary problem by introducing new variables. PL-IRLS is then built on solving the auxiliary problem by utilizing the proximal l...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Sparse Representations
Basis Pursuit (BP) and Basis Pursuit Denoising (BPDN), well established techniques for computing sparse representations, minimize an ` data fidelity term, subject to an ` sparsity constraint or regularization term, by mapping the problem to a linear or quadratic program. BPDN with an ` data fidelity term has recently been proposed, also implemented via a mapping to a linear program. We introduc...
