Article
Full-text available
This paper jointly addresses the problems of chromatogram baseline correction and noise reduction. The proposed approach is based on modeling the series of chromatogram peaks as sparse with sparse derivatives, and on modeling the baseline as a low-pass signal. A convex optimization problem is formulated so as to encapsulate these non-parametric mod...

Full-text available
The l1/l2 ratio regularization function has shown good performance for retrieving sparse signals in a number of recent works, in the context of blind deconvolution. Indeed, it benefits from a scale invariance property much desirable in the blind context. However, the l1/l2 function raises some difficulties when solving the nonconvex and nonsmooth m...

Unveiling meaningful geophysical information from seismic data requires to deal with both random and structured "noises". As their amplitude may be greater than signals of interest (primaries), additional prior information is especially important in performing efficient signal separation. We address here the problem of multiple reflections, caused...

Denoising, detrending, deconvolution: usual restoration tasks, traditionally decoupled. Coupled formulations entail complex ill-posed inverse problems. We propose PENDANTSS for joint trend removal and blind deconvolution of sparse peak-like signals. It blends a parsimonious prior with the hypothesis that smooth trend and noise can somewhat be separ...

Motivation The cellular system of a living organism is composed of interacting bio-molecules that control cellular processes at multiple levels. Their correspondences are represented by tightly regulated molecular networks. The increase of omics technologies has favored the generation of large-scale disparate data and the consequent demand for simu...

Background Gene expression is regulated at different molecular levels, including chromatin accessibility, transcription, RNA maturation, and transport. These regulatory mechanisms have strong connections with cellular metabolism. In order to study the cellular system and its functioning, omics data at each molecular level can be generated and effic...

We propose a method to reconstruct sparse signals degraded by a nonlinear distortion and acquired at a limited sampling rate. Our method formulates the reconstruction problem as a nonconvex minimization of the sum of a data fitting term and a penalization term. In contrast with most previous works which settle for approximated local solutions, we s...

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates is usually performed by enzymes produced and secreted by the fungus Trichoderma reesei. Studies identifying transcription factors involved in th...

Underdetermined or ill-posed inverse problems require additional information for sound solutions with tractable optimization algorithms. Sparsity yields consequent heuristics to that matter, with numerous applications in signal restoration, image recovery, or machine learning.

Blind deconvolution refers to deconvolution of a signal without exact knowledge of the impulse response function used in the convolution. This is usually achieved by adding appropriate assumptions on the input and/or the impulse response to restore the output. We take into account here the sparsity or parsimony of the input signal. It is generally...

Building high-fidelity system-level models of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a challenging duty. A first problem is the diversity of modeling and simulation environments used by the various involved multidisciplinary teams. Particular environments are preferred for a specific use, due to distinctive strengths (modeling language, libraries, solvers...

Valve trays column design for gas treatment still relies on empirical correlations developed on pilot units. The available correlations lead to large discrepancies and thus more experimental works are needed.

Both random and structured perturbations affect seismic data. Their removal, to unveil meaningful geophysical information, requires additional priors. Seismic multiples are one form of structured perturbations related to wave-field bouncing. In this paper, we model these undesired signals through a time-varying filtering process accounting for inac...
