The instability phenomenon in deep learning for image reconstruction
Our paper On instabilities of deep learning in image reconstruction and the potential costs of AI was just published in PNAS:
https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/05/08/1907377117
In it, we show that current deep learning approaches for image reconstruction are unstable: namely, small perturbations in the measurements lead to a myriad of artefacts in the recovered images. This has potentially serious consequences for the safe and secure deployment of machine learning techniques in imaging applications.

Congratulations Mohsen!
My MSc student Mohsen Seifi successfully completed his MSc degree. Congratulations!
Stand by for a paper soon based on his MSc research.
Welcome Sebastian
I am pleased to welcome Sebastian Moraga as a new PhD student in my group. Sebastian joins SFU from the University of Concepcion in Chile. He previously visited my group in Spring 2017.
Congratulations Jackie!
My MSc student Qinghong (Jackie) Xu successfully defended her Master’s thesis. Congratulations!
Jackies thesis is titled “Compressive Imaging with Total Variation Regularization and Application to Auto-calibration of Parallel Magnetic Resonance Imaging”. It contains a novel (and technical) theoretical analysis of TV regularization in compressed sensing, and a new method for auto-calibration in parallel MRI. Stand by for the paper later this year!
Optimal sampling in general domains
When approximating a multivariate function defined on an irregular domain, a good choice of sampling points is critical. In this paper, my PhD student Juan and I develop new, practical sampling strategies for which the sample complexity is near-optimal: specifically, it is linear (up to a log factor) in the degree of the approximation. This improves previous approaches which were at best quadratic in the degree. Here’s the paper:
Optimal sampling strategies for multivariate function approximation on general domains
Congratulations Simone!
I am very pleased to say that my postdoc Simone Brugiapaglia has recently accepted a tenure-track position at Concordia University. Congratulations!
Simone was also featured in an in-depth interview conducted by PIMS. Check it out here:
