NOODL solves dictionary and coefficient recovery for online learning.

In recent years, a class of dictionaries have been proposed for multidimensional (tensor) data representation that exploit the structure of tensor data by imposing a Kronecker structure on the dictionary underlying the data. In this work, a novel algorithm called "STARK" is provided to learn Kronecker structured dictio…

This paper presents the first theoretical results showing that stable identification of overcomplete $μ$-coherent dictionaries $Φ\in \mathbb{R}^{d\times K}$ is locally possible from training signals with sparsity levels $S$ up to the order $O(μ^{-2})$ and signal to noise ratios up to $O(\sqrt{d})$. In particular the di…

We consider the problem of sparse coding, where each sample consists of a sparse linear combination of a set of dictionary atoms, and the task is to learn both the dictionary elements and the mixing coefficients. Alternating minimization is a popular heuristic for sparse coding, where the dictionary and the coefficient…

In this paper, we present new results on using orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP), to solve the sparse approximation problem over redundant dictionaries for complex cases (i.e., complex measurement vector, complex dictionary and complex additive white Gaussian noise (CAWGN)). A sufficient condition that OMP can recover …

This paper studies the convergence behaviour of dictionary learning via the Iterative Thresholding and K-residual Means (ITKrM) algorithm.

Sparse coding in learned dictionaries has been established as a successful approach for signal denoising, source separation and solving inverse problems in general. A dictionary learning method adapts an initial dictionary to a particular signal class by iteratively computing an approximate factorization of a training …

In sparse recovery we are given a matrix $A$ (the dictionary) and a vector of the form $A X$ where $X$ is sparse, and the goal is to recover $X$. This is a central notion in signal processing, statistics and machine learning. But in applications such as sparse coding, edge detection, compression and super resolution, t…

Sparse representations using learned dictionaries are being increasingly used with success in several data processing and machine learning applications. The availability of abundant training data necessitates the development of efficient, robust and provably good dictionary learning algorithms. Algorithmic stability an…

The thresholded feature has recently emerged as an extremely efficient, yet rough empirical approximation, of the time-consuming sparse coding inference process. Such an approximation has not yet been rigorously examined, and standard dictionaries often lead to non-optimal performance when used for computing thresholde…

In this paper we show that the computational complexity of the Iterative Thresholding and K-residual-Means (ITKrM) algorithm for dictionary learning can be significantly reduced by using dimensionality-reduction techniques based on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. The dimensionality reduction is efficiently carried out…

Given an overcomplete dictionary $A$ and a signal $b$ that is a linear combination of a few linearly independent columns of $A$, classical sparse recovery theory deals with the problem of recovering the unique sparse representation $x$ such that $b = A x$. It is known that under certain conditions on $A$, $x$ can be re…

Optimizing the acquisition matrix is useful for compressed sensing of signals that are sparse in overcomplete dictionaries, because the acquisition matrix can be adapted to the particular correlations of the dictionary atoms.
