Existing dictionary learning algorithms are based on the assumption that the data are vectors in an Euclidean vector space ℝ d , and the dictionary is learned from the training data using the vector space structure of ℝ d and its Euclidean L2-metric. However, in many applications, features and data often originated from a Riemannian manifold that does not support a global linear (vector space) ...

Two common problems are often encountered in analysis dictionary learning (ADL) algorithms. The first one is that the original clean signals for learning the dictionary are assumed to be known, which otherwise need to be estimated from noisy measurements. This, however, renders a computationally slow optimization process and potentially unreliable estimation (if the noise level is high), as rep...

Sparsity driven signal processing has gained tremendous popularity in the last decade. At its core, the assumption is that the signal of interest is sparse with respect to either a fixed transformation or a signal dependent dictionary. To better capture the data characteristics, various dictionary learning methods have been proposed for both reconstruction and classification tasks. For classifi...
