human action recognition is an important problem in computer vision. one of the methods that are recently used is sparse coding. conventional sparse coding algorithms learn dictionaries and codes in an unsupervised manner and neglect class information that is available in the training set. but in this paper for solving this problem, we use a discriminative sparse code based on multi-manifolds. ...

In this paper, application of sparse representation (factorization) of signals over an overcomplete basis (dictionary) for signal classification is discussed. Searching for the sparse representation of a signal over an overcomplete dictionary is achieved by optimizing an objective function that includes two terms: one that measures the signal reconstruction error and another that measures the s...

In this paper, we address the problem of discriminative dictionary learning (DDL), where sparse linear representation and classification are combined in a probabilistic framework. As such, a single discriminative dictionary and linear binary classifiers are learned jointly. By encoding sparse representation and discriminative classification models in a MAP setting, we propose a general optimiza...
