A Projection-free Decentralized Algorithm for Non-convex Optimization

This paper considers a decentralized projection free algorithm for non-convex optimization in high dimension. More specifically, we propose a Decentralized Frank-Wolfe (DeFW)
algorithm which is suitable when high dimensional optimization constraints are difficult to handle by conventional projection/proximal-based gradient descent methods. We present conditions under which the DeFW algorithm converges to a stationary point and prove that the rate of convergence is as fast as ${\cal O}( 1/\sqrt{T} )$, where

Submodular Maximization with Multi-Knapsack Constraints and its Applications in Scientific Literature Recommendations

Submodular maximization problems belong to the family of combinatorial optimization problems and enjoy wide applications. In this paper, we focus on the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a d-knapsack constraint, for which we propose a streaming algorithm that
achieves a (1/1+2d − ε) -approximation of the optimal value,

I-LoViT: Indoor Localization by Vibration Tracking

Signal processing techniques can create new applications for the data captured by existing sensor systems. Decades old sensor technology for monitoring the structural health of a building can serve a new role as a novel source of indoor localization data. Specifically, when a person's footstep-generated floor vibrations can be detected and located then it is possible to locate persons moving within a building. This emergent cyber-physical system holds the potential for an ambient localization service.

Named Entity Recognition on Indonesian Microblog Messages

This paper describes a model to address the task of named-entity recognition on Indonesian microblog messages due to its usefulness for higher-level tasks or text mining applications on Indonesian microblogs. We view our task as a sequence labeling problem using machine learning approach. We also propose various word-level and orthographic features, including the ones that are specific to the Indonesian language. Finally, in our experiment, we compared our model with a baseline model previously proposed for Indonesian formal documents, instead of microblog messages.

Robust Estimation of Self-Exciting Point Process Models with Application to Neuronal Modeling

We consider the problem of estimating discrete self- exciting point process models from limited binary observations, where the history of the process serves as the covariate. We analyze the performance of two classes of estimators: l1-regularized maximum likelihood and greedy estimation for a discrete version of the Hawkes process and characterize the sampling tradeoffs required for stable recovery in the non-asymptotic regime. Our results extend those of compressed sensing for linear and generalized linear models with i.i.d.

Overlapping Clustering of Network Data Using Cut Metrics

We present a novel method to hierarchically cluster networked data allowing nodes to simultaneously belong to multiple clusters. Given a network, our method outputs a cut metric on the underlying node set, which can be related to data coverings at different resolutions. The cut metric is obtained by averaging a set of ultrametrics, which are themselves the output of (non-overlapping) hierarchically clustering noisy versions of the original network of interest. The resulting algorithm is illustrated in synthetic networks and is used to classify handwritten digits from the MNIST database.

BIPARTITE SUBGRAPH DECOMPOSITION FOR CRITICALLY SAMPLED WAVELET FILTERBANKS ON ARBITARY GRAPHS

The observation of frequency folding in graph spectrum during down-sampling for signals on bipartite graphs—analogous to the same phenomenon in Fourier domain for regularly sampled signals—has led to the development of critically sampled wavelet filterbanks such as GraphBior. However, typical graph-signals live on general graphs that are not necessarily bipartite.
