Sparse models are particularly useful in scientific applications, such as biomarker discovery in genetic or neuroimaging data, where the interpretability of a predictive model is essential. Sparsity can also dramatically improve the cost efficiency of signal processing. Sparse Modeling: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications provides an introduction to the growing field of sparse modeling,... Read more

Biography

Irina Rish, Genady Grabarnik

"… an excellent introductory book for branching off into aspects of sparse modeling; it is also good for advanced students since it is contains an appendix with some of the mathematical background needed to learn from this book, including topics such as eigentheory, discrete Fourier transform, and subgaussian random variables. I very much recommend this book for researchers and students alike."
Computing Reviews, May 2015

"A comprehensive, clear, and well-articulated book on sparse modeling. This book will stand as a prime reference to the research community for many years to come."
—Ricardo Vilalta, Department of Computer Science, University of Houston

"This book provides a modern introduction to sparse methods for machine learning and signal processing, with a comprehensive treatment of both theory and algorithms. Sparse Modeling is an ideal book for a first-year graduate course."
—Francis Bach, INRIA - École Normale Supérieure, Paris
