Efficiently representing real world data in a succinct and parsimonious manner is of central importance in many fields. We present a generalized greedy pursuit framework, allowing us to efficiently solve structured matrix factorization problems, where the factors are allowed to be from arbitrary sets of structured vectors. Such structure may include sparsity, non-negativeness, order, or a combination thereof. The algorithm approximates a given matrix by a linear combination of few rank-1 matrices, each factorized into an outer product of two vector atoms of the desired structure. For the non-convex subproblems of obtaining good rank-1 structured matrix atoms, we employ and analyze a general atomic power method. In addition to the above applications, we prove linear convergence for generalized pursuit variants in Hilbert spaces - for the task of approximation over the linear span of arbitrary dictionaries - which generalizes OMP and is useful beyond matrix problems. Our experiments on real datasets confirm both the efficiency and also the broad applicability of our framework in practice.

Phase retrieval (PR), also sometimes referred to as quadratic sensing, is a problem that occurs in numerous signal and image acquisition domains ranging from optics, X-ray crystallography, Fourier ptychography, sub-diffraction imaging, and astronomy. In each of these domains, the physics of the acquisition system dictates that only the magnitude (intensity) of certain linear projections of the signal or image can be measured. Without any assumptions on the unknown signal, accurate recovery necessarily requires an over-complete set of measurements. The only way to reduce the measurements/sample complexity is to place extra assumptions on the unknown signal/image. A simple and practically valid set of assumptions is obtained by exploiting the structure inherently present in many natural signals or sequences of signals. Two commonly used structural assumptions are (i) sparsity of a given signal/image or (ii) a low rank model on the matrix formed by a set, e.g., a time sequence, of signals/images. Both have been explored for solving the PR problem in a sample-efficient fashion. This article describes this work, with a focus on non-convex approaches that come with sample complexity guarantees under simple assumptions. We also briefly describe other different types of structural assumptions that have been used in recent literature.
Bandit Convex Optimization (BCO) is a fundamental framework for modeling sequential decision-making with partial information, where the only feedback available to the player is the one-point or two-point function values. In this paper, we investigate BCO in non-stationary environments and choose the emph{dynamic regret} as the performance measure, which is defined as the difference between the cumulative loss incurred by the algorithm and that of any feasible comparator sequence. Let $T$ be the time horizon and $P_T$ be the path-length of the comparator sequence that reflects the non-stationarity of environments. We propose a novel algorithm that achieves $O(T^{3/4}(1+P_T)^{1/2})$ and $O(T^{1/2}(1+P_T)^{1/2})$ dynamic regret respectively for the one-point and two-point feedback models. The latter result is optimal, matching the $Omega(T^{1/2}(1+P_T)^{1/2})$ lower bound established in this paper. Notably, our algorithm is more adaptive to non-stationary environments since it does not require prior knowledge of the path-length $P_T$ ahead of time, which is generally unknown.
In this paper we generalize the factorization theorem of Gouveia, Parrilo and Thomas to a broader class of convex sets. Given a general convex set, we define a slack operator associated to the set and its polar according to whether the convex set is full dimensional, whether it is a translated cone and whether it contains lines. We strengthen the condition of a cone lift by requiring not only the convex set is the image of an affine slice of a given closed convex cone, but also its recession cone is the image of the linear slice of the closed convex cone. We show that the generalized lift of a convex set can also be characterized by the cone factorization of a properly defined slack operator.
We study matrix factorization and curved module categories for Landau-Ginzburg models (X,W) with X a smooth variety, extending parts of the work of Dyckerhoff. Following Positselski, we equip these categories with model category structures. Using results of Rouquier and Orlov, we identify compact generators. Via Toens derived Morita theory, we identify Hochschild cohomology with derived endomorphisms of the diagonal curved module; we compute the latter and get the expected result. Finally, we show that our categories are smooth, proper when the singular locus of W is proper, and Calabi-Yau when the total space X is Calabi-Yau.
We observe that there is an equivalence between the singularity category of an affine complete intersection and the homotopy category of matrix factorizations over a related scheme. This relies in part on a theorem of Orlov. Using this equivalence, we give a geometric construction of the ring of cohomology operators, and a generalization of the theory of support varieties, which we call stable support sets. We settle a question of Avramov about which stable support sets can arise for a given complete intersection ring. We also use the equivalence to construct a projective resolution of a module over a complete intersection ring from a matrix factorization, generalizing the well-known result in the hypersurface case.
