Title: LAROS: a convex optimization approach for feature extractionSpeaker: Dr. Xuan Vinh Doan Affiliation: Warwick Business School - University of WarwickLocation: Room 572A Huxley BuildingTime: 3:00pmAbstract. We propose a convex optimization formulation using nuclear norm and $ell_1$-norm to find a large approximately rank-one submatrix (LAROS) for a given matrix. We are able to characterize the...
