Abstract
In this paper, we formulate the K-sparse compressed signal recovery problem with the L0 norm within a Stochastic Local Search (SLS) framework. Within this randomized framework, we generalize the popular recovery algorithm CoSaMP, creating Stochastic CoSaMP (StoCoSaMP). Interestingly, our deterministic worst case analysis shows that under RIP, even a purely random version of StoCoSaMP is guaranteed to recover a notion of strong components of a sparse signal, thereby leading to support convergence. Empirically, we find that randomness helps StoCoSaMP to outperform CoSaMP both in terms of signal recoverability and computational cost, even in high dimensions (upto 1 million dimensions), on a variety of problems. Further, StoCoSaMP outperforms many other popular recovery algorithms (including StoGradMP and StoIHT) on large scale real-world gene-expression datasets.
