Notation

• Y: signals. Each column is one observation.
• D: dictionary.
• X: sparse coefficient.
• d: signal dimension. d = size(Y, 1).
• C: number of classes.
• c: class index.
• n_c: number of training samples in class c. Typically, all n_c are the same and equal to n.
• N: total number of training samples.
• Y_range: an array storing range of each class, suppose that labels are sorted in a ascending order. Example: If Y_range = [0, 10, 25], then:
  • There are two classes, samples from class 1 range from 1 to 10, from class 2 range from 11 to 25.
  • In general, samples from class c range from Y_range(c) + 1 to Y_range(c+1)
  • We can observe that number of classes C = numel(Y_range) - 1.
• k_c: number of bases in class-specific dictionary c. Typically, all n_c are the same and equal to k.
• k_0: number of bases in the shared-dictionary
• K: total number of dictionary bases.
• D_range: similar to Y_range but used for dictionary without the shared dictionary.

Sparse Representation-based classification (SRC)

• Sparse Representation-based classification implementation [1].
• Classification based on SRC.
• Syntax: [pred, X] = SRC_pred(Y, D, D_range, opts)
  • INPUT:
    • Y: test samples.
    • D: the total dictionary. D = [D_1, D_2, ..., D_C] with D_c being the c-th class-specific dictionary.
    • D_range: range of class-specific dictionaries in D. See also Notation.
    • opts: options.
      • opts.lambda: lambda for the Lasso problem. Default: 0.01.
      • opts.max_iter: maximum iterations of fista algorithm. Default: 100. Check this implementation of FISTA
  • OUTPUT:
    • pred: predicted labels of test samples.
    • X: solution of the lasso problem.

Online Dictionary Learning (ODL)

Training ODL

• Syntax: [D, X] = ODL(Y, k, lambda, opts, sc_method)
  • INPUT:
    • Y: collection of samples.
    • k: number of bases in the desired dictionary.
    • lambda: norm 1 regularization parameter.
    • opts: option.
    • sc_method: sparse coding method used in the sparse coefficient update. Possible values:
      • 'fista': using FISTA algorithm. See also fista.
      • 'spams': using SPAMS toolbox [12].
  • OUTPUT:
    • D, X: as in the problem.

DLSI predict new samples

• function pred = DLSI_pred(Y, D, opts)

  • pred: predicted labels of Y.

Demo

Run COPAR_top in the Matlab command window.

LRSDL

• An implementation of COPAR [8].

Motivation

Cost function

Note that unlike COPAR, in LRSDL, we separate the class-specific dictionaries (D) and the shared dictionary (D_0). The sparse coefficients (X, X^0) are also separated.

Training LRSDL

• function `[D, D0, X, X0, CoefM, coefM0, opts, rt] = LRSDL(Y, train_label, opts)``

• INPUT:

  • Y, Y_range: training samples and their labels
  • opts: a struct
    • opts.lambda1, opts.lambda: lambda1 and lambda2 in the cost function,
    • opts.lambda3: eta in the cost function (fix later),
    • opts.max_iter: maximum iterations,
    • opts.D_range: range of the trained dictionary,
    • opts.k0: size of the shared dictionary

• OUTPUT:

  • D, D0, X, X0: trained matrices as in the cost function,
  • CoefM: the mean matrix. CoefM(:, c) is the mean vector of X_c (mean of columns).
  • CoefM0: the mean vector of X0,
  • rt: total running time (in seconds).

LRSDL predict new samples
