Abstract: I will motivate the problem of robust PCA through some examples, followed by a brief introduction to the existing approaches to solve this problem. I will describe the recently proposed Non-Convex algorithm in some detail. I also intend to go over the proof outline for demonstrating the performance guarantees by discussing a few key points in detail. If time permits I will show some results of the proposed algorithm obtained on simulated data.
