Linear Convergence of Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares for Nuclear Norm Minimization

Low-rank matrix recovery problems are ubiquitous in many areas of science and engineering. One approach to solve these problems is Nuclear Norm Minimization, which is itself computationally challenging to solve. Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares …

On the robustness of noise-blind low-rank recovery from rank-one measurements

We prove new results about the robustness of well-known convex noise-blind optimization formulations for the reconstruction of low-rank matrices from an underdetermined system of random linear measurements. Specifically, our results address random …

A Scalable Second Order Method for Ill-Conditioned Matrix Completion from Few Samples

We propose an iterative algorithm for low-rank matrix completion that can be interpreted as an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm, a saddle-escaping smoothing Newton method or a variable metric proximal gradient method applied to a …

Escaping Saddle Points in Ill-Conditioned Matrix Completion with a Scalable Second Order Method

We propose an iterative algorithm for low-rank matrix completion that can be interpreted as both an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm and a saddle-escaping smoothing Newton method applied to a non-convex rank surrogate objective. …

Understanding and Enhancing Data Recovery Algorithms - From Noise-Blind Sparse Recovery to Reweighted Methods for Low-Rank Matrix Optimization

We prove new results about the robustness of noise-blind decoders for the problem of re- constructing a sparse vector from underdetermined linear measurements. Our results imply provable robustness of equality-constrained l1-minimization for random …

Harmonic Mean Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares for Low-Rank Matrix Recovery

We propose a new iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm for the recovery of a matrix $X \in \mathbb{C}^{d_1 \times d_2}$ of rank $r \ll \min(d_1,d_2)$ from incomplete linear observations, solv- ing a sequence of low complexity linear …
