Abstract
Ulas Ayaz will talk about geometry of subspace clustering following the work of Soltanolkotabi and Candes, and sparse estimation of strongly correlated variables using ordered weighted L1 regularizer following Figueiredo and Nowak. Additionally, he will present his ongoing work where he combines these two ideas to effectively improve subspace clustering by also using random geometric graphs.
