报告摘要：In the era of big data, much of the data is susceptible to noise with heavy-tailed distribution. Fused Lasso can effectively handle high dimensional sparse data with strong correlation between two adjacent variables under known Gaussian noise. However, it has poor robustness to non-Gaussian noise with heavy-tailed distribution. Robust fused Lasso with 𝑙1 norm loss function can overcome the drawback of fused Lasso when noise is heavy-tailed distribution. But the key challenge for solving this model is non-smoothness and its non-separability. Therefore, in this paper, we first deform the robust fused Lasso into an easily solvable form, which changes the three-block objective function to a two-block form. Then, we propose an accelerated proximal alternating direction method of multipliers (APADMM) with an additional update step, which is based on a new PADMM that changes the Lagrangian multiplier term update. Furthermore, we give the 𝑂(1/𝐾) nonergodic convergence rate analysis of the proposed APADMM. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed new PADMM and APADMM have better performance than other existing ADMM solvers.
