Rank priors are frequently employed for regularizing ill posed linear inverse problems. Since they are both discontinuous and non-convex they are often replaced with the nuclear norm. While the resulting formulation is easy to optimize it is also known to suffer from a shrinking bias that can severely degrade the solution in the presence of noise.

In this talk, we present a class of alternative non-convex regularization terms that do not suffer from the same bias. We show that if a restricted isometry property holds then there is typically only one low-rank stationary point. In order to derive an efficient inference algorithm we show that when using a bilinear parameterization our regularization term can be well approximated with a quadratic function which opens up the possibility to use second order methods such as Levenberg-Marquardt or Variable Projections. We show on several real datasets that our approach outperforms current methods both in terms of relaxation quality and convergence speed.
