Full textIn this dissertation, we develop some advanced machine learning techniques in the framework of online learning and reinforcement learning (RL). The backbones of our approaches are DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithm), and their online version that are best known as powerful nonsmooth, nonconvex optimization tools. This dissertation is composed of two parts: the first part studies some online machine learning techniques and the second part concerns RL in both batch and online modes. The first part includes two chapters corresponding to online classification (Chapter 2) and prediction with expert advice (Chapter 3). These two chapters mention a unified DC approximation approach to different online learning algorithms where the observed objective functions are 0-1 loss functions. We thoroughly study how to develop efficient online DCA algorithms in terms of theoretical and computational aspects. The second part consists of four chapters (Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7). After a brief introduction of RL and its related works in Chapter 4, Chapter 5 aims to provide effective RL techniques in batch mode based on DC programming and DCA. In particular, we first consider four different DC optimization formulations for which corresponding attractive DCA-based algorithms are developed, then carefully address the key issues of DCA, and finally, show the computational efficiency of these algorithms through various experiments. Continuing this study, in Chapter 6 we develop DCA-based RL techniques in online mode and propose their alternating versions. As an application, we tackle the stochastic shortest path (SSP) problem in Chapter 7. Especially, a particular class of SSP problems can be reformulated in two directions as a cardinality minimization formulation and an RL formulation. Firstly, the cardinality formulation involves the zero-norm in objective and the binary variables. We propose a DCA-based algorithm by exploiting a DC approximation approach for the zero-norm and an exact penalty technique for the binary variables. Secondly, we make use of the aforementioned DCA-based batch RL algorithm. All proposed algorithms are tested on some artificial road networks

Full textWireless communication plays an increasingly important role in many aspects of life. A lot of applications of wireless communication are exploited to serve people's life such as e-banking, e-commerce and medical service. Therefore, quality of service (QoS) as well as confidentiality and privacy of information over the wireless network are of leading interests in wireless network designs. In this dissertation, we focus on developing optimization techniques to address some problems in two topics: QoS and physical layer security. Our methods are relied on DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithms) which are powerful, non-differentiable, non-convex optimization tools that have enjoyed great success over the last two decades in modelling and solving many application problems in various fields of applied science. Besides the introduction and conclusion chapters, the main content of the dissertation is divided into four chapters: the chapter 2 concerns QoS in wireless networks whereas the next three chapters tackle physical layer security. The chapter 2 discusses a criterion of QoS assessed by the minimum of signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios at receivers. The objective is to maximize the minimum SNR in order to ensure the fairness among users, avoid the case in which some users have to suffer from a very low SNR. We apply DC programming and DCA to solve the derived max-min fairness optimization problem. With the awareness that the efficiency of DCA heavily depends on the corresponding DC decomposition, we recast the considered problem as a general DC program (minimization of a DC function on a set defined by some convex constraints and some DC constraints) using a DC decomposition different from the existing one and design a general DCA scheme to handle that problem. The numerical results reveal the efficiency of our proposed DCA compared with the existing DCA and the other methods. In addition, we rigorously prove the convergence of the proposed general DCA scheme. The common objective of the next three chapters (Chapter 3,4,5) is to guarantee security at the physical layer of wireless communication systems based on maximizing their secrecy rate. Three different architectures of the wireless system using various cooperative techniques are considered in these three chapters. More specifically, a point-to-point wireless system including single eavesdropper and employing cooperative jamming technique is considered in the chapter 3. Chapter 4 is about a relay wireless system including single eavesdropper and using a combination of beamforming technique and cooperative relaying technique with two relaying protocols Amplify-and-Forward (AF) and Decode-and-Forward (DF). Chapter 5 concerns a more general relay wireless system than the chapter 4, in which multiple eavesdroppers are considered instead of single eavesdropper. The difference in architecture of wireless systems as well as in the utilized cooperative techniques result in three mathematically different optimization problems. The unified approach based on DC programming and DCA is proposed to deal with these problems. The special structures of the derived optimization problems in the chapter 3 and the chapter 4 are exploited and explored to design efficient standard DCA schemes in the sense that the convex subproblems in these schemes are solved either explicitly or in an inexpensive way. The max-min forms of the optimization problems in the chapter 5 are reformulated as the general DC programs with DC constraints and the general DCA schemes are developed to address these problems. The results obtained by DCA show the efficiency of our approach in comparison with the existing methods. The convergence of the proposed general DCA schemes is thoroughly shown

Full textIn this dissertation, we investigate approaches based on DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithm) for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints. Being a classical and challenging topic of nonconvex optimization, and because of its many important applications, mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints has attracted the attention of many researchers since many years. The dissertation consists of four main chapters. Chapter 2 studies a class of mathematical programs with linear complementarity constraints. By using four penalty functions, we reformulate the considered problem as standard DC programs, i.e. minimizing a DC function on a convex set. The appropriate DCA schemes are developed to solve these four DC programs. Two among them are reformulated again as general DC programs (i.e. minimizing a DC function under DC constraints) in order that the convex subproblems in DCA are easier to solve. After designing DCA for the considered problem, we show how to develop these DCA schemes for solving the quadratic problem with linear complementarity constraints and the asymmetric eigenvalue complementarity problem. Chapter 3 addresses a class of mathematical programs with variational inequality constraints. We use a penalty technique to recast the considered problem as a DC program. A variant of DCA and its accelerated version are proposed to solve this DC program. As an application, we tackle the second-best toll pricing problem with fixed demands. Chapter 4 focuses on a class of bilevel optimization problems with binary upper level variables. By using an exact penalty function, we express the bilevel problem as a standard DC program for which an efficient DCA scheme is developed. We apply the proposed algorithm to solve a maximum flow network interdiction problem. In chapter 5, we are interested in the continuous equilibrium network design problem. It was formulated as a Mathematical Program with Complementarity Constraints (MPCC). We reformulate this MPCC problem as a general DC program and then propose a suitable DCA scheme for the resulting problem

Full textIn this thesis, we focus on developing optimization approaches for solving some classes of optimization problems in sparsity and robust optimization for data uncertainty. Our methods are based on DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithms) which are well-known as powerful tools in optimization. This thesis is composed of two parts: the first part concerns with sparsity while the second part deals with uncertainty. In the first part, a unified DC approximation approach to optimization problem involving the zero-norm in objective is thoroughly studied on both theoretical and computational aspects. We consider a common DC approximation of zero-norm that includes all standard sparse inducing penalty functions, and develop general DCA schemes that cover all standard algorithms in the field. Next, the thesis turns to the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) problem. We investigate the structure of the considered problem and provide appropriate DCA based algorithms. To enhance the performance of NMF, the sparse NMF formulations are proposed. Continuing this topic, we study the dictionary learning problem where sparse representation plays a crucial role. In the second part, we exploit robust optimization technique to deal with data uncertainty for two important problems in machine learning: feature selection in linear Support Vector Machines and clustering. In this context, individual data point is uncertain but varies in a bounded uncertainty set. Different models (box/spherical/ellipsoidal) related to uncertain data are studied. DCA based algorithms are developed to solve the robust problems

Full textOur objective in this work is to solve a binary quadratic problem under mixed constraints by the techniques of DC optimization. As DC optimization has proved its efficiency to solve large-scale problems in different domains, we decided to apply this optimization approach to solve this problem. The most important part of D.C. optimization is the choice of an adequate decomposition that facilitates determination and speeds convergence of two constructed suites where the first converges to the optimal solution of the primal problem and the second converges to the optimal solution of the dual problem. In this work, we propose two efficient decompositions and simple to manipulate. The application of the DC Algorithm (DCA) leads us to solve at each iteration a convex quadratic problem with mixed, linear and quadratic constraints. For it, we must find an efficient and fast method to solve this last problem at each iteration. To do this, we apply three different methods: the Newton method, the semidefinite programing and interior point method. We present the comparative numerical results on the same benchmarks of these three approaches to justify our choice of the fastest method to effectively solve this problem

Full textThese days with the increasing abundance of data with high dimensionality, high dimensional classification problems have been highlighted as a challenge in machine learning community and have attracted a great deal of attention from researchers in the field. In recent years, sparse and stochastic learning techniques have been proven to be useful for this kind of problem. In this thesis, we focus on developing optimization approaches for solving some classes of optimization problems in these two topics. Our methods are based on DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithms) which are wellknown as one of the most powerful tools in optimization. The thesis is composed of three parts. The first part tackles the issue of variable selection. The second part studies the problem of group variable selection. The final part of the thesis concerns the stochastic learning. In the first part, we start with the variable selection in the Fisher's discriminant problem (Chapter 2) and the optimal scoring problem (Chapter 3), which are two different approaches for the supervised classification in the high dimensional setting, in which the number of features is much larger than the number of observations. Continuing this study, we study the structure of the sparse covariance matrix estimation problem and propose four appropriate DCA based algorithms (Chapter 4). Two applications in finance and classification are conducted to illustrate the efficiency of our methods. The second part studies the L_p,0regularization for the group variable selection (Chapter 5). Using a DC approximation of the L_p,0norm, we indicate that the approximate problem is equivalent to the original problem with suitable parameters. Considering two equivalent reformulations of the approximate problem we develop DCA based algorithms to solve them. Regarding applications, we implement the proposed algorithms for group feature selection in optimal scoring problem and estimation problem of multiple covariance matrices. In the third part of the thesis, we introduce a stochastic DCA for large scale parameter estimation problems (Chapter 6) in which the objective function is a large sum of nonconvex components. As an application, we propose a special stochastic DCA for the loglinear model incorporating latent variables

Full textPhysical layer security is to enable confidential data transmission through wireless networks in the presence of illegitimate users, without basing on higher-layer encryption. The essence of physical layer security is to maximize the secrecy rate, that is the maxi- mum rate of information without intercepted by the eavesdroppers. Besides, the design of physical layer security considers the transmit power minimization. These two objectives conflict with each other. Consequently, the research on physical layer security designs often focuses on the two main classes of optimization problems: maximizing secrecy rate under the transmit power constraint and minimizing power consumption while guaranteeing the secrecy rate constraint. These problems are nonconvex, thus, hard to solve. In this thesis, we focus on developing optimization approaches to solve these two optimization problem classes. Our methods are based on DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithm) which well-known as one of the most powerful approaches in optimization. In the first part, we consider three classes of secrecy rate maximization problems (chapters 2, 3, 4). In particular, chapter 2 studies the secure information transmission in a multiple-input single-output (MISO) relay system by using joint beamforming and artificial noise strategy under the deterministic uncertainty channel models of all links. Without using a relay, chapter 3 addresses the problem of transfer wireless information and power simultaneously in MISO secure system where scenarios of perfect channel state information and deterministic uncertainty channel models are concerned. Transmit beamforming without artificial noise and that with artificial noise are investigated. Under the assumption of statistical channel state information to eavesdroppers, chapter 4 studies the probability constrained secrecy rate maximization problem in multiuser MISO simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system. The unified approach based on DC programming and DCA is proposed to solve three classes of optimization problems. The optimization problem in chapter 2 is recast as two general DC programs. The general DCA schemes are proposed to solve these two DC programs. In chapter 3, we consider four optimization problems in accordance with four scenarios. Exploiting the special structures of these original optimization problems, we transform it into four general DC programs for which the corresponding general DCA based algorithms are developed. In chapter 4, we first transform the considered problem into a tractable form. We then develop an alternating scheme to solve the transformed problem. Two general DC programs are proposed in each step of the alternating scheme. For solving these DC programs, we study a variant of general DCA, namely, DCA−ρ scheme. The convergence of alternating general DCA−ρ scheme is proven. The second part studies the transmit power optimization problem under the probability constraints of secrecy rate and harvested energy in a MISO SWIPT system (chapter 5). We reformulate the original problem as three general DC programs for which the corresponding general DCA-based algorithms are investigated. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms

Full textBig Data has become gradually essential and ubiquitous in all aspects nowadays. Therefore, there is an urge to develop innovative and efficient techniques to deal with the rapid growth in the volume of data. This dissertation considers the following problems in Big Data: group variable selection in multi-class logistic regression, dimension reduction by t-SNE (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding), and deep clustering. We develop advanced DCAs (Difference of Convex functions Algorithms) for these problems, which are based on DC Programming and DCA – the powerful tools for non-smooth non-convex optimization problems. Firstly, we consider the problem of group variable selection in multi-class logistic regression. We tackle this problem by using recently advanced DCAs -- Stochastic DCA and DCA-Like. Specifically, Stochastic DCA specializes in the large sum of DC functions minimization problem, which only requires a subset of DC functions at each iteration. DCA-Like relaxes the convexity condition of the second DC component while guaranteeing the convergence. Accelerated DCA-Like incorporates the Nesterov's acceleration technique into DCA-Like to improve its performance. The numerical experiments in benchmark high-dimensional datasets show the effectiveness of proposed algorithms in terms of running time and solution quality. The second part studies the t-SNE problem, an effective non-linear dimensional reduction technique. Motivated by the novelty of DCA-Like and Accelerated DCA-Like, we develop two algorithms for the t-SNE problem. The superiority of proposed algorithms in comparison with existing methods is illustrated through numerical experiments for visualization application. Finally, the third part considers the problem of deep clustering. In the first application, we propose two algorithms based on DCA to combine t-SNE with MSSC (Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering) by following two approaches: “tandem analysis” and joint-clustering. The second application considers clustering with auto-encoder (a well-known type of neural network). We propose an extension to a class of joint-clustering algorithms to overcome the scaling problem and applied for a specific case of joint-clustering with MSSC. Numerical experiments on several real-world datasets show the effectiveness of our methods in rapidity and clustering quality, compared to the state-of-the-art methods

Full textIn this thesis, we are interested in developing new cooperative approaches for solving some classes of nonconvex problems which play a very important role to model real-world problems. To design the schemes of our approaches, we combine several algorithms which we call the component (participant) algorithms. The combination is mainly based on DC (Difference of Convex Functions) and DCA (DC Algorithm) with metaheuristics. To develop our solution methods, we use the paradigm of parallel and distributed programming. Therefore, each process deals with an algorithm and communicates with the others by calling the functions of the MPI (Message Passing Interface) library which is a communication protocol in parallel and distributed programming. Besides the introduction and conclusion, this thesis is composed of four chapters. Chapter 1 concerns the theoretical and algorithmic tools serving as a methodological basis for the following chapters. Chapter 2 is about the mixed binary linear programs. To solve these problems, we propose a cooperative approach between DCA and VNS (Variable Neighborhood Search). Since the scheme is constituted by two algorithms, we use the point to point communication between the processes. As an application, we adapt our scheme to solve the capacitated facility location problem. Concerning chapter 3, we study the class of binary quadratic problems. Regarding the solution methods, we develop a cooperation between DCA-like which is a new version of DCA and two other metaheuristics: GA (Genetic Algorithm) and MBO (Migrating Birds Optimization). The exchange of information between the processes is expressed by using collective communication's function. More precisely, we call a function which allows broadcasting information of a process to all the others at the same time. This cooperative approach is adapted to the quadratic assignment problem. In chapter 4, we solve the MSSC (Minimum-Sum-of-Squares Clustering) using two cooperative approaches. The first combines DCA, VNS, and TS (Tabu Search). As for the second, it combines the MBO with the other three algorithms cited before. In these two approaches, we use a function of communication that allows a process to access the memories of the others and save the information there without blocking the work of the receiving processes

Full textIn this thesis we focus on developing deterministic and heuristic approaches for solving some classes of optimization problems in Finance, Assignment and Search Information. They are large-scale nonconvex optimization problems. Our approaches are based on DC programming & DCA and the Cross-Entropy method. Due to the techniques of formulation/reformulation, we have given the DC formulation of considered problems such that we can use DCA to obtain their solutions. Also, depending on the structure of feasible sets of considered problems, we have designed appropriate families of distributions such that the Cross-Entropy method could be applied efficiently. All these proposed methods have been implemented with MATLAB, C/C++ to confirm the practical aspects and enrich our research works

Full textThis Ph.D. thesis is particularly intended to treat two types of problems : clustering and the multiple alignment of sequence. Our objective is to solve efficiently these global problems and to test DC Programming approach and DCA on real datasets. The thesis is divided into three parts : the first part is devoted to the new approaches of nonconvex optimization-global optimization. We present it a study in depth of the algorithm which is used in this thesis, namely the programming DC and the algorithm DC ( DCA). In the second part, we will model the problem clustering in three nonconvex subproblems. The first two subproblems are distinguished compared to the choice from the norm used, (clustering via norm 1 and 2). The third subproblem uses the method of the kernel, (clustering via the method of the kernel). The third part will be devoted to bioinformatics, one goes this focused on the modeling and the resolution of two subproblems : the multiple alignment of sequence and the alignment of sequence of RNA.
