Sparse dictionary learningSparse dictionary learning (also known as sparse coding or SDL) is a representation learning method which aims at finding a sparse representation of the input data in the form of a linear combination of basic elements as well as those basic elements themselves. These elements are called atoms and they compose a dictionary. Atoms in the dictionary are not required to be orthogonal, and they may be an over-complete spanning set. This problem setup also allows the dimensionality of the signals being represented to be higher than the one of the signals being observed.
Matching pursuitMatching pursuit (MP) is a sparse approximation algorithm which finds the "best matching" projections of multidimensional data onto the span of an over-complete (i.e., redundant) dictionary . The basic idea is to approximately represent a signal from Hilbert space as a weighted sum of finitely many functions (called atoms) taken from . An approximation with atoms has the form where is the th column of the matrix and is the scalar weighting factor (amplitude) for the atom . Normally, not every atom in will be used in this sum.
Sparse approximationSparse approximation (also known as sparse representation) theory deals with sparse solutions for systems of linear equations. Techniques for finding these solutions and exploiting them in applications have found wide use in , signal processing, machine learning, medical imaging, and more. Consider a linear system of equations , where is an underdetermined matrix and . The matrix (typically assumed to be full-rank) is referred to as the dictionary, and is a signal of interest.
Restricted isometry propertyIn linear algebra, the restricted isometry property (RIP) characterizes matrices which are nearly orthonormal, at least when operating on sparse vectors. The concept was introduced by Emmanuel Candès and Terence Tao and is used to prove many theorems in the field of compressed sensing. There are no known large matrices with bounded restricted isometry constants (computing these constants is strongly NP-hard, and is hard to approximate as well), but many random matrices have been shown to remain bounded.
Lasso (statistiques)En statistiques, le lasso est une méthode de contraction des coefficients de la régression développée par Robert Tibshirani dans un article publié en 1996 intitulé Regression shrinkage and selection via the lasso. Le nom est un acronyme anglais : Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator. Bien que cette méthode fut utilisée à l'origine pour des modèles utilisant l'estimateur usuel des moindres carrés, la pénalisation lasso s'étend facilement à de nombreux modèles statistiques tels que les modèles linéaires généralisés, les modèles à risque proportionnel, et les M-estimateurs.
Tomographievignette|Principe de base de la tomographie par projections : les coupes tomographiques transversales S1 et S2 sont superposées et comparées à l’image projetée P. La tomographie est une technique d’, très utilisée dans l’, ainsi qu’en géophysique, en astrophysique et en mécanique des matériaux. Cette technique permet de reconstruire le volume d’un objet à partir d’une série de mesures effectuées depuis l’extérieur de cet objet.
