  • Patent number: 10579702
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for signal processing using coordinate descent technique for solving technical implementation problems that are expressed as unit-modulus least squares (UMLS) and unit-modulus quadratic program (UMQP) problems. Embodiments provide for iteratively minimizing an objective function of a signal vector associated with a UMLS/UMQP problem expression over a set of coordinates of the signal vector to a convergence point. The objective function is minimized with respect to a vector element corresponding to a selected coordinate index, while other vector elements that do not correspond to the selected coordinate index are fixed. Accordingly, at each iteration, minimizing the objective function involves a solution to a one-dimensional univariate quadratic minimization. Embodiments also provide various coordinate index selection rules that include a cyclic CD rule (CCD), a randomized CD rule (RCD), randomly permuted CD rule (RPCD), and a greedy CD rule (CCD).

  • Patent number: 10437560
    Abstract: Coordinate descent is applied to recover a signal-of-interest from only magnitude information. In doing so, a single unknown value is solved at each iteration, while all other variables are held constant. As a result, only minimization of a univariate quartic polynomial is required, which is efficiently achieved by finding the closed-form roots of a cubic polynomial. Cyclic, randomized, and/or a greedy coordinate descent technique can be used. Each coordinate descent technique globally converges to a stationary point of the nonconvex problem, and specifically, the randomized coordinate descent technique locally converges to the global minimum and attains exact recovery of the signal-of-interest at a geometric rate with high probability when the sample size is sufficiently large. The cyclic and randomized coordinate descent techniques can also be modified via minimization of the l1-regularized quartic polynomial for phase retrieval of sparse signals-of-interest, i.e.

  • Patent number: 10229092
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide robust low-rank matrix approximation using low-rank matrix factorization in the lp-norm space, where p<2 (e.g., 1?p<2), providing a lp-PCA technique are described. For example, embodiments are configured to provide robust low-rank matrix approximation using low-rank matrix factorization in the least absolute deviation (l1-norm) space providing a l1-PCA technique. Embodiments minimize the lp-norm of the residual matrix in the subspace factorization of an observed data matrix, such as to minimize the l1-norm of the residual matrix where p=1. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is applied according to embodiments to solve the subspace decomposition of the low-rank matrix factorization with respect to the observed data matrix. Iterations of the ADMM may comprise solving a l2-subspace decomposition and calculating the proximity operator of the l1-norm.
