	abstract = {Full-waveform inversion relies on large multi-experiment data volumes. While improvements in acquisition and inversion have been extremely successful, the current push for higher quality models reveals fundamental shortcomings handling increasing problem sizes numerically. To address this fundamental issue, we propose a randomized dimensionality-reduction strategy motivated by recent developments in stochastic optimization and compressive sensing. In this formulation conventional Gauss-Newton iterations are replaced by dimensionality-reduced sparse recovery problems with source encodings.},

	abstract = {Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a computational procedure to extract medium parameters from seismic data. FWI is typically formulated as a nonlinear least squares optimization problem, and various regularization techniques are used to guide the optimization because the problem is illposed. In this paper, we propose a novel sparse regularization which exploits the ability of curvelets to efficiently represent geophysical images. We then formulate a corresponding sparsity promoting constrained optimization problem, which we call Nonlinear Basis Pursuit Denoise (NBPDN) and present an algorithm to solve this problem to recover medium parameters. The utility of the NBPDN formulation and efficacy of the algorithm are demonstrated on a stylized cross-well experiment, where a sparse velocity perturbation is recovered with higher quality than the standard FWI formulation (solved with LBFGS). The NBPDN formulation and algorithm can recover the sparse perturbation even when the data volume is compressed to 5 \% of the original size using random superposition.},

We propose a novel sparse regularization which exploits the ability of curvelets to efficiently represent geophysical images. We then formulate a corresponding sparsity promoting constrained optimization problem, which we solve using an open source algorithm. The techniques are applicable to any inverse problem where sparsity modeling is appropriate. We demonstrate the efficacy of the formulation on a toy example (stylized cross-well experiment) and on a realistic Seismic example (partial Marmoussi model). We also discuss the tradeoff between model fit and sparsity promotion, with a view to extend existing techniques for linear inverse problems to the case where the forward model is nonlinear.},
