An implementation of Local Coordinate Coding (LCC) that codes data which approximately lives on a manifold using a variation of l1-norm regularized sparse coding; in LCC, the penalty on the absolute value of each point's coefficient for each atom is weighted by the squared distance of that point to that atom.

Detailed Description

An implementation of Local Coordinate Coding (LCC) that codes data which approximately lives on a manifold using a variation of l1-norm regularized sparse coding; in LCC, the penalty on the absolute value of each point's coefficient for each atom is weighted by the squared distance of that point to that atom.

Let d be the number of dimensions in the original space, m the number of training points, and k the number of atoms in the dictionary (the dimension of the learned feature space). The training data X is a d-by-m matrix where each column is a point and each row is a dimension. The dictionary D is a d-by-k matrix, and the sparse codes matrix Z is a k-by-m matrix. This program seeks to minimize the objective: min_{D,Z} ||X - D Z||_{Fro}^2

  • lambda sum_{i=1}^m sum_{j=1}^k dist(X_i,D_j)^2 Z_i^j where lambda > 0.

This problem is solved by an algorithm that alternates between a dictionary learning step and a sparse coding step. The dictionary learning step updates the dictionary D by solving a linear system (note that the objective is a positive definite quadratic program). The sparse coding step involves solving a large number of weighted l1-norm regularized linear regression problems problems; this can be done efficiently using LARS, an algorithm that can solve the LASSO (paper below).

The papers are listed below.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LocalCoordinateCoding() [1/2]

LocalCoordinateCoding ( const arma::mat &  data,
const size_t  atoms,
const double  lambda,
const size_t  maxIterations = 0,
const double  tolerance = 0.01,
const DictionaryInitializer &  initializer = DictionaryInitializer() 
)

Set the parameters to LocalCoordinateCoding, and train the dictionary.

This constructor will also initialize the dictionary using the given DictionaryInitializer before training.

If you want to initialize the dictionary to a custom matrix, consider either writing your own DictionaryInitializer class (with void Initialize(const arma::mat& data, arma::mat& dictionary) function), or call the constructor that does not take a data matrix, then call Dictionary() to set the dictionary matrix to a matrix of your choosing, and then call Train() with sparse_coding::NothingInitializer (i.e. Train<sparse_coding::NothingInitializer>(data)).

Parameters
dataData matrix.
atomsNumber of atoms in dictionary.
lambdaRegularization parameter for weighted l1-norm penalty.
maxIterationsMaximum number of iterations for training (0 runs until convergence).
toleranceTolerance for the objective function.
initializerIntializer to use.

◆ LocalCoordinateCoding() [2/2]

LocalCoordinateCoding ( const size_t  atoms = 0,
const double  lambda = 0.0,
const size_t  maxIterations = 0,
const double  tolerance = 0.01 
)

Set the parameters to LocalCoordinateCoding.

This constructor will not train the model, and a subsequent call to Train() will be required before the model can encode points with Encode(). The default values for atoms and lambda should be changed if you intend to train the model!

Parameters
atomsNumber of atoms in dictionary.
lambdaRegularization parameter for weighted l1-norm penalty.
maxIterationsMaximum number of iterations for training (0 runs until convergence).
toleranceTolerance for the objective function.
