Runtime guarantees for regression problems

We study theoretical runtime guarantees for a class of optimization problems that occur in a wide variety of inference problems. These problems are motivated by the LASSO framework and have applications in machine learning and computer vision. Our work shows a close connection between these problems and core questions in algorithmic graph theory. While this connection demonstrates the difficulties of obtaining runtime guarantees, it also suggests an approach of using techniques originally developed for graph algorithms.
