• Abstract summary: We show that Dual Principal Component Pursuit (DPCP) can provably solve problems in the it unknown subspace dimension regime. We propose a very simple algorithm based on running multiple instances of a projected sub-gradient descent method (PSGM) In particular, we show that 1) all of the problem instances will converge to a vector in the nullspace of the subspace and 2) the ensemble of problem instance solutions will be sufficiently diverse to fully span the nullspace of the subspace.

• Abstract: Robust subspace recovery (RSR) is a fundamental problem in robust representation learning. Here we focus on a recently proposed RSR method termed Dual Principal Component Pursuit (DPCP) approach, which aims to recover a basis of the orthogonal complement of the subspace and is amenable to handling subspaces of high relative dimension. Prior work has shown that DPCP can provably recover the correct subspace in the presence of outliers, as long as the true dimension of the subspace is known. We show that DPCP can provably solve RSR problems in the {\it unknown} subspace dimension regime, as long as orthogonality constraints -- adopted in previous DPCP formulations -- are relaxed and random initialization is used instead of spectral one. Namely, we propose a very simple algorithm based on running multiple instances of a projected sub-gradient descent method (PSGM), with each problem instance seeking to find one vector in the null space of the subspace. We theoretically prove that under mild conditions this approach will succeed with high probability. In particular, we show that 1) all of the problem instances will converge to a vector in the nullspace of the subspace and 2) the ensemble of problem instance solutions will be sufficiently diverse to fully span the nullspace of the subspace thus also revealing its true unknown codimension. We provide empirical results that corroborate our theoretical results and showcase the remarkable implicit rank regularization behavior of PSGM algorithm that allows us to perform RSR without being aware of the subspace dimension.

  We introduce a novel mathematical framework, dubbed k-band, that enables training DL models using only partial, limited-resolution k-space data. In each training iteration, rather than using the fully sampled k-space for computing gradients, we use only a small k-space portion. Numerical experiments with raw MRI data indicate that k-band outperforms two other methods trained on limited-resolution data.

  We propose a novel and efficient diffusion sampling strategy that synergistically combines the diffusion sampling and Krylov subspace methods. Specifically, we prove that if tangent space at a denoised sample by Tweedie's formula forms a Krylov subspace, then the CG with the denoised data ensures the data consistency update to remain in the tangent space. Our proposed method achieves more than 80 times faster inference time than the previous state-of-the-art method.

  We study Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in space forms. Finding the optimal low-dimensional affine subspace for given points in a space form amounts to dimensionality reduction. We propose proper cost functions that enjoy two properties: (1) their optimal affine subspace is the solution to an eigenequation, and (2) optimal affine subspaces of different dimensions form a nested set.
