Abstract:
Compressive sensing (CS) as an approach for data acquisition has recently received much attention.
In CS, the signal recovery problem from the observed data requires the solution of a sparse vector
from an underdetermined system of equations. The underlying sparse signal recovery problem is quite
general with many applications and is the focus of this talk. The main emphasis will be on Bayesian
approaches for sparse signal recovery. We will examine sparse priors such as the super-Gaussian
and student-t priors and appropriate MAP estimation methods. In particular, re-weighted l2 and
re-weighted l1 methods developed to solve the optimization problem will be discussed. The talk will
also examine a hierarchical Bayesian framework and then study in detail an empirical Bayesian method,
the Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) method. If time permits, we will also discuss Bayesian methods for
sparse recovery problems with structure; Intra-vector correlation in the context of the block sparse model
and inter-vector correlation in the context of the multiple measurement vector problem.
Biography:
Bhaskar D. Rao (F) received the B.Tech. degree in electronics and electrical communication engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in 1979 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1981 and 1983, respectively. Since 1983, he has been with the University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, where he is currently a Professor with the Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is the holder of the Ericsson Endowed Chair in Wireless Access Networks and was the Director of the Center for Wireless Communications (2008-2011).
Prof. Rao was elected IEEE Fellow in 2000 "for his contributions to the statistical analysis of subspace algorithms for harmonic retrieval". His work has received several paper awards; Best Paper Award (2013) for the paper "Multicell Random Beamforming with CDF-based Scheduling: Exact Rate and Scaling Laws"; SPS Best Paper Award (2012) for the paper "An Empirical Bayesian Strategy for Solving the Simultaneous Sparse Approximation Problem"; Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award in the Field of Communication Systems (2008) for the paper "Network Duality for Multiuser MIMO Beamforming Networks and Applications"; Best Paper Award (2000) for the paper "PDF Optimized Parametric Vector Quantization of Speech Line Spectral Frequencies".
