Matrix Completion from Quantized Samples via Generalized Sparse Bayesian Learning (1911.09935v1)

Abstract: The recovery of a low rank matrix from a subset of noisy low-precision quantized samples arises in several applications such as collaborative filtering, intelligent recommendation and millimeter wave channel estimation with few bit ADCs. In this paper, a generalized sparse Bayesian learning (Gr-SBL) combining expectation propagation (EP) is proposed to solve the matrix completion (MC), which is termed as MC-Gr-SBL. The MC-Gr-SBL automatically estimates the rank, the factors and their covariance matrices, and the noise variance. In addition, MC-Gr-SBL is proposed to solve the two dimensional line spectral estimation problem by incorporating the MUSIC algorithm. Finally, substantial numerical experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
