ASPICS: Applying Statistical Physics to Inference in Compressed Sensing Image


    This page contains codes, papers and data on the algorithms we have been developing using statistical physics for inference in interdisciplinary applications, with a special focus on compressed sensing.


    * February 2012: A MATLAB implementation of our compressed sensing solver

    We now also have a fast MATLAB implementation of our algorithm. We are still fine-tuning it, but if you can't wait, go ahead and download the curent version. We would be more than happy to receive comments and suggestions.


    * September 2011: A statistical physics approach to compressed sensing by F. Krzakala, M. Mézard, F. Sausset, Y.F. Sun and L. Zdeborová

    Our paper on a new (and powerful) approach to compressed sensing is here . If you want to try our algorithm, here is a c++ implementation . We have also a a python implementation if you prefer. The fastest implementation is the MATLAB one (see the note up there...)

    We have been asked (between other things) to give the data on the spinodal transition that marks the limit of the performance of the EM-BP algorithm for Gauss-Bernoulli signals: here they are. When using a (non-structured) random matrix and a Gauss-Bernoulli signal, this marks the limit of efficiency of sampling algorithm such as Belief-Propagation, and it may be a limit for many other approaches as well. This limit, however, is already beyond the Donoho-Tanner transition. Of course, our seeding strategy allows to break this limit. For reproducible research these are the data and command file we have used in our study, which we give if you want to reproduce our Figure.1 using the c++ code.




    In the news: They spoke about ASPICS!
    * Igor Carron mentioned our work a couple of times in his blog "Nuit Blanche":A stunning development in breaking the Donoho-Tanner phase transition ? and An ASPICS Matlab Implementation.
    * An interview by the French vulgarization Journal, La Recherche Fevrier 2012.
