This article describes a fast and efficient procedure for the design of such dictionaries. The method implements the following ideas: a reduction technique is applied to the initial dataset to speed up the upcoming procedure; the actual training procedure runs a more sophisticated iterative expanding procedure based on K-SVD steps. Numerical experiments on image data show the effectiveness of the proposed design strategy. date: 2012 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 1-5 event_title: Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP), 2012 IEEE International Workshop on id_number: 10.1109/MLSP.2012.6349795 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4673-1025-3 book_title: IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP), 2012 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6349795&isnumber=6349703 citation: Rusu, Cristian Fast design of efficient dictionaries for sparse representations.
