Sparse representation has been shown to be a powerful modeling framework for classification and detection tasks. In this paper, we propose a new keyword detection algorithm based on sparse representation of the posterior exemplars. The posterior exemplars are phone conditional probabilities obtained from a deep neural network. This method relies on the concept that a keyword exemplar lies in a ...

In this paper we aim to tackle the problem of reconstructing a high-resolution image from a single low-resolution input image, known as single image super-resolution. In the literature, sparse representation has been used to address this problem, where it is assumed that both low-resolution and high-resolution images share the same sparse representation over a pair of coupled jointly trained di...

In this paper, we investigate audio-visual interaction in sparse representation to obtain robust features for audio-visual speech recognition. Firstly, we introduce our system which uses sparse representation method for noise robust audio-visual speech recognition. Then, we introduce the dictionary matrix used in this paper, and consider the construction of audio-visual dictionary. Finally, we ...

Sparse representation of astronomical images is discussed. It is shown that a significant gain in sparsity is achieved when particular mixed dictionaries are used for approximating these types of images with greedy selection strategies. Experiments are conducted to confirm (i) the effectiveness at producing sparse representations and (ii) competitiveness, with respect to the time required to pr...

Many classic and contemporary face recognition algorithms work well on public data sets, but degrade sharply when they are used in a real recognition system. This is mostly due to the difficulty of simultaneously handling variations in illumination, image misalignment, and occlusion in the test image. We consider a scenario where the training images are well controlled and test images are only ...

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with Kullback-Leibler Divergence (NMF-KL) is one of the most significant NMF problems and equivalent to Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI), which has been successfully applied in many applications. For sparse count data, a Poisson distribution and KL divergence provide sparse models and sparse representation, which describe the random variation ...
