Classifiers based on sparse representations have recently been shown to provide excellent results in many visual recognition and classification tasks. However, the high cost of computing sparse representations at test time is a major obstacle that limits the applicability of these methods in large-scale problems, or in scenarios where computational power is restricted. We consider in this paper a simple yet efficient alternative to sparse coding for feature extraction. We study a classification scheme that applies the soft-thresholding nonlinear mapping in a dictionary, followed by a linear classifier. A novel supervised dictionary learning algorithm tailored for this low complexity classification architecture is proposed. The dictionary learning problem, which jointly learns the dictionary and linear classifier, is cast as a difference of convex (DC) program and solved efficiently with an iterative DC solver. We conduct experiments on several datasets, and show that our learning algorithm that leverages the structure of the classification problem outperforms generic learning procedures. Our simple classifier based on soft-thresholding also competes with the recent sparse coding classifiers, when the dictionary is learned appropriately. The adopted classification scheme further requires less computational time at the testing stage, compared to other classifiers. The proposed scheme shows the potential of the adequately trained soft-thresholding mapping for classification and paves the way towards the development of very efficient classification methods for vision problems.

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a framework to classify images belonging to unseen classes based on solely semantic information about these unseen classes. In this paper, we propose a new ZSL algorithm using coupled dictionary learning. The core idea is that the visual features and the semantic attributes of an image can share the same sparse representation in an intermediate space. We use images from seen classes and semantic attributes from seen and unseen classes to learn two dictionaries that can represent sparsely the visual and semantic feature vectors of an image. In the ZSL testing stage and in the absence of labeled data, images from unseen classes can be mapped into the attribute space by finding the joint sparse representation using solely the visual data. The image is then classified in the attribute space given semantic descriptions of unseen classes. We also provide an attribute-aware formulation to tackle domain shift and hubness problems in ZSL. Extensive experiments are provided to demonstrate the superior performance of our approach against the state of the art ZSL algorithms on benchmark ZSL datasets.
Recently, label consistent k-svd (LC-KSVD) algorithm has been successfully applied in image classification. The objective function of LC-KSVD is consisted of reconstruction error, classification error and discriminative sparse codes error with L0-nor m sparse regularization term. The L0-norm, however, leads to NP-hard problem. Despite some methods such as orthogonal matching pursuit can help solve this problem to some extent, it is quite difficult to find the optimum sparse solution. To overcome this limitation, we propose a label embedded dictionary learning (LEDL) method to utilise the L1-norm as the sparse regularization term so that we can avoid the hard-to-optimize problem by solving the convex optimization problem. Alternating direction method of multipliers and blockwise coordinate descent algorithm are then exploited to optimize the corresponding objective function. Extensive experimental results on six benchmark datasets illustrate that the proposed algorithm has achieved superior performance compared to some conventional classification algorithms.

Voxel-based 3D object classification has been frequently studied in recent years. The previous methods often directly convert the classic 2D convolution into a 3D form applied to an object with binary voxel representation. In this paper, we investiga te the reason why binary voxel representation is not very suitable for 3D convolution and how to simultaneously improve the performance both in accuracy and speed. We show that by giving each voxel a signed distance value, the accuracy will gain about 30% promotion compared with binary voxel representation using a two-layer fully connected network. We then propose a fast fully connected and convolution hybrid cascade network for voxel-based 3D object classification. This threestage cascade network can divide 3D models into three categories: easy, moderate and hard. Consequently, the mean inference time (0.3ms) can speedup about 5x and 2x compared with the state-of-the-art point cloud and voxel based methods respectively, while achieving the highest accuracy in the latter category of methods (92%). Experiments with ModelNet andMNIST verify the performance of the proposed hybrid cascade network.
The recently proposed Multi-Layer Convolutional Sparse Coding (ML-CSC) model, consisting of a cascade of convolutional sparse layers, provides a new interpretation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Under this framework, the computation of the forward pass in a CNN is equivalent to a pursuit algorithm aiming to estimate the nested sparse representation vectors -- or feature maps -- from a given input signal. Despite having served as a pivotal connection between CNNs and sparse modeling, a deeper understanding of the ML-CSC is still lacking: there are no pursuit algorithms that can serve this model exactly, nor are there conditions to guarantee a non-empty model. While one can easily obtain signals that approximately satisfy the ML-CSC constraints, it remains unclear how to simply sample from the model and, more importantly, how one can train the convolutional filters from real data. In this work, we propose a sound pursuit algorithm for the ML-CSC model by adopting a projection approach. We provide new and improved bounds on the stability of the solution of such pursuit and we analyze different practical alternatives to implement this in practice. We show that the training of the filters is essential to allow for non-trivial signals in the model, and we derive an online algorithm to learn the dictionaries from real data, effectively resulting in cascaded sparse convolutional layers. Last, but not least, we demonstrate the applicability of the ML-CSC model for several applications in an unsupervised setting, providing competitive results. Our work represents a bridge between matrix factorization, sparse dictionary learning and sparse auto-encoders, and we analyze these connections in detail.
We propose a deep-learning-based classification of data pages used in holographic memory. We numerically investigated the classification performance of a conventional multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and a deep neural network, under the condition that re constructed page data are contaminated by some noise and are randomly laterally shifted. The MLP was found to have a classification accuracy of 91.58%, whereas the deep neural network was able to classify data pages at an accuracy of 99.98%. The accuracy of the deep neural network is two orders of magnitude better than the MLP.
