Abstract

It is now well established that sparse signal models are well suited to restoration tasks and caneffectivelybelearnedfromaudio, image, and video data. Recentresearch has been aimed at learning discriminative sparse models instead of purely reconstructiveones. Thispaperproposesanewstepinthatdirection, with a novel sparserepresentationforsignalsbelongingto different classes in terms of a shared dictionaryandmultiplediscriminativeclassmodels. The linear variant of the proposed model admits a simple probabilistic interpretation, while its most general variant admits an interpretation in terms of kernels. An optimization framework for learning all the components of the proposed model is presented, along with experimentalresultson standard handwritten digit and texture classification tasks.
