Covariance matrix recovery is a topic of great significance in the field of one-bit signal processing and has numerous practical applications. Despite its importance, the conventional arcsine law with zero threshold is incapable of recovering the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix. To address this limitation, recent studies have proposed the use of non-zero clipping thresholds. However, the relationship between the estimation error and the sampling threshold is not yet known.

Graphs are widely used to represent complex information and signal domains with irregular support. Typically, the underlying graph topology is unknown and must be estimated from the available data. Common approaches assume pairwise node interactions and infer the graph topology based on this premise. In contrast, our novel method not only unveils the graph topology but also identifies three-node interactions, referred to in the literature as second-order simplicial complexes (SCs).

Drawing on theoretical insights, we advocate an error-based thresholding (EBT) mechanism for learned ISTA (LISTA), which utilizes a function of the layer-wise reconstruction error to suggest a specific threshold for each observation in the shrinkage function of each layer. We show that the proposed EBT mechanism well disentangles the learnable parameters in the shrinkage functions from the reconstruction errors, endowing the obtained models with improved adaptivity to possible data variations.

The generalized minimax concave (GMC) penalty is a nonconvex sparse regularizer which can preserve the overall-convexity of the sparse least squares problem. In this paper, we study the solution path of a special but important instance of the GMC model termed the scaled GMC (sGMC) model. We show that despite the nonconvexity of the regularizer, there exists a solution path of the sGMC model which is piecewise linear as a function of the regularization parameter, and we propose an efficient algorithm for computing a solution path of this type.

Semi-supervised change detection (SSCD) utilizes partially labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data to detect changes. However, the transformer-based SSCD network does not perform as well as the convolution-based SSCD network due to the lack of labeled data. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a new decoder called Cross Branch Feature Fusion (CBFF), which combines the strengths of both local convolutional branch and global transformer branch. The convolutional branch is easy to learn and can produce high-quality features with a small amount of labeled data.

This paper studies the external division operator, an external division (an affine combination with positive and negative weights) of two proximity operators. We show that the external division operator is cocoercive under some condition, and it can be expressed as the proximity operator of a certain weakly convex function. We then consider using the external division operator as an alternative to the proximity operator in the proximal gradient algorithm, which we show converges to a minimizer of the cost function penalized by the weakly convex function under some conditions.

Signal decomposition techniques aim to break down nonstationary signals into their oscillatory components, serving as a preliminary step in various practical signal processing applications. This has motivated researchers to explore different strategies, yielding several distinct approaches. A wellknown optimization-based method, the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), relies on the formulation of an optimization problem utilizing constant-bandwidthWiener filters. However, this poses limitations in constant bandwidth and the need for constituent count.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is routinely used to study the properties of matter. Therefore, different materials can be classified according to their NMR spectra. However, the NMR spectra cannot be observed directly, and only the NMR signal, which is a sum of complex exponentials, is directly observable in practice. A popular approach to recover the spectrum is to perform harmonic retrieval, i.e., to reconstruct exactly the spectrum from the NMR signal. However, even when this approach fails, the spectrum might still be classified accurately.

We introduce the Generative Barankin Bound (GBB), a learned Barankin Bound, for evaluating the achievable performance in estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of a source in non-asymptotic conditions, when the statistics of the measurement are unknown. We first learn the measurement distribution using a conditional normalizing flow (CNF) and then use it to derive the GBB.

Multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in solving various vision problems. However, fusing features of different scales always results in large model sizes, impeding the application of mul-
tiscale CNNs in RGB-D saliency detection. In this paper, we propose a customized feature fusion module, called Saliency Enhanced Feature Fusion (SEFF), for RGB-D saliency detection. SEFF utilizes saliency maps of the neighboring scales
