A Unified Framework for Constructing Nonconvex Regularizations

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Over the past decades, many individual nonconvex methods have been proposed to achieve better sparse recovery performance in various scenarios. However, how to construct a valid nonconvex regularization function remains open in practice. In this paper, we fill in this gap by presenting a unified framework for constructing the nonconvex regularization based on the probability density function. Meanwhile, a new nonconvex sparse recovery method constructed via the Weibull distribution is studied. Sparse recovery has attracted tremendous research interest in various areas including statistical learning [1] and compressive sensing [2].
