  • Improved Greedy Algorithms for Sparse Approximation of a Matrix in Terms of Another Matrix
    Improved Greedy Algorithms for Sparse Approximation of a Matrix in terms of Another Matrix Crystal Maung Haim Schweitzer Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science The University of Texas at Dallas The University of Texas at Dallas Abstract We consider simultaneously approximating all the columns of a data matrix in terms of few selected columns of another matrix that is sometimes called “the dic- tionary”. The challenge is to determine a small subset of the dictionary columns that can be used to obtain an accurate prediction of the entire data matrix. Previ- ously proposed greedy algorithms for this task compare each data column with all dictionary columns, resulting in algorithms that may be too slow when both the data matrix and the dictionary matrix are large. A previously proposed approach for accelerating the run time requires large amounts of memory to keep temporary values during the run of the algorithm. We propose two new algorithms that can be used even when both the data matrix and the dictionary matrix are large. The first algorithm is exact, with output identical to some previously proposed greedy algorithms. It takes significantly less memory when compared to the current state- of-the-art, and runs much faster when the dictionary matrix is sparse. The second algorithm uses a low rank approximation to the data matrix to further improve the run time. The algorithms are based on new recursive formulas for computing the greedy selection criterion. The formulas enable decoupling most of the compu- tations related to the data matrix from the computations related to the dictionary matrix.

  • Column Subset Selection Via Sparse Approximation of SVD
    Column Subset Selection via Sparse Approximation of SVD A.C¸ivrila,∗, M.Magdon-Ismailb aMeliksah University, Computer Engineering Department, Talas, Kayseri 38280 Turkey bRensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Computer Science Department, 110 8th Street Troy, NY 12180-3590 USA Abstract Given a real matrix A 2 Rm×n of rank r, and an integer k < r, the sum of the outer products of top k singular vectors scaled by the corresponding singular values provide the best rank-k approximation Ak to A. When the columns of A have specific meaning, it might be desirable to find good approximations to Ak which use a small number of columns of A. This paper provides a simple greedy algorithm for this problem in Frobenius norm, with guarantees on( the performance) and the number of columns chosen. The algorithm ~ k log k 2 selects c columns from A with c = O ϵ2 η (A) such that k − k ≤ k − k A ΠC A F (1 + ϵ) A Ak F ; where C is the matrix composed of the c columns, ΠC is the matrix projecting the columns of A onto the space spanned by C and η(A) is a measure related to the coherence in the normalized columns of A. The algorithm is quite intuitive and is obtained by combining a greedy solution to the generalization of the well known sparse approximation problem and an existence result on the possibility of sparse approximation. We provide empirical results on various specially constructed matrices comparing our algorithm with the previous deterministic approaches based on QR factorizations and a recently proposed randomized algorithm.

Such systems arise from many applications like the discretiza- tion of partial differential equations or image restoration. Herefore, Gaussian elimination or other classical direct solvers can not be used since the dimension of the underlying co- 3 efficient matrices is too large and Gaussian elimination is an O n algorithm. Iterative solvers techniques are an effective remedy for this problem. They allow to exploit sparsity, bandedness, or block structures, and they can be parallelized much easier. However, due to the matrix being ill-conditioned, convergence becomes very slow or even not be guaranteed at all. Therefore, we have to employ a preconditioner. The sparse approximate inverse (SPAI) preconditioner is based on Frobenius norm mini- mization. It is a well-established preconditioner, since it is robust, flexible, and inherently parallel. Moreover, SPAI captures meaningful sparsity patterns automatically.

A New Algorithm for Non-Negative Sparse Approximation Nicholas Schachter July 2, 2020 Abstract In this article we introduce a new algorithm for non-negative sparse approximation problems based on a combination of the approaches used in orthogonal matching pursuit and basis de-noising pursuit towards solving sparse approximation problems. By taking advantage of structural properties inherent to non-negative sparse approximation problems, a branch and bound (BnB) scheme is developed that enables fast and accurate recovery of underlying dictionary atoms, even in the presence of noise. Detailed analysis of the performance of the algorithm is discussed, with attention specically paid to situations in which the algorithm will perform better or worse based on the properties of the dictionary and the required sparsity of the solution.

  • Efficient Implementation of the K-SVD Algorithm Using
    E±cient Implementation of the K-SVD Algorithm using Batch Orthogonal Matching Pursuit Ron Rubinstein¤, Michael Zibulevsky¤ and Michael Elad¤ Abstract The K-SVD algorithm is a highly e®ective method of training overcomplete dic- tionaries for sparse signal representation. In this report we discuss an e±cient im- plementation of this algorithm, which both accelerates it and reduces its memory consumption. The two basic components of our implementation are the replacement of the exact SVD computation with a much quicker approximation, and the use of the Batch-OMP method for performing the sparse-coding operations. - Technical Report CS-2008-08.revised 2008 Batch-OMP, which we also present in this report, is an implementation of the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm which is speci¯cally optimized for sparse-coding large sets of signals over the same dictionary. The Batch-OMP imple- mentation is useful for a variety of sparsity-based techniques which involve coding large numbers of signals. In the report, we discuss the Batch-OMP and K-SVD implementations and analyze their complexities. The report is accompanied by Matlabr toolboxes which implement these techniques, and can be downloaded at http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~ronrubin/software.html. 1 Introduction Sparsity in overcomplete dictionaries is the basis for a wide variety of highly e®ective signal and image processing techniques. The basic model suggests that natural signals can be e±ciently explained as linear combinations of prespeci¯ed atom signals, where the linear coe±cients are sparse (most of them zero).
