Abstract

En 中文
We consider a dictionary learning problem aimed at designing a dictionary such that the signals admit a sparse or an approximate sparse representation over the learnt dictionary. The problem finds a variety of applications including image denoising, feature extraction, etc. In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical Bayesian model for dictionary learning, in which a Gaussian-inverse Gamma hierarchical prior is used to promote the sparsity of the representation. Suitable non-informative priors are also placed on the dictionary and the noise variance such that they can be reliably estimated from the data. Based on the hierarchical model, a variational Bayesian method and a Gibbs sampling method are developed for Bayesian inference. The proposed methods have the advantage that they do not require the knowledge of the noise valiance a priori. Numerical results show that the proposed methods are able to learn the dictionary with an accuracy better than existing methods, particularly for the case where there is a limited number of training signals.
