Analogical reasoning, as a higher cognitive ability, can help children make inferences about a novel situation. It is vital to help children's analogical reasoning development. However, the traditional intervention methods are simple and the effects cannot maintain. Aiming at this problem, the present study was the first to use computer technology especially image composition technique to promote children's analogical reasoning from an interdisciplinary perspective. Specifically, one minimum region entropy based composition model was proposed. On the one hand, sparse coding model and spatial pyramid matching model were used for searching semantically matching images. On the other hand, minimum region entropy model could contribute to composite the candidate region into an ideal position. Furthermore, we set up a database using massive images and adequate experiments based on it to verify the model's effectiveness and robustness. What's more important, we applied the improved image composition to analogical reasoning task. The results showed that the performance of intervention group was obviously better than control group during intervention stages and posttest stage. In general, the present study not only demonstrated the advantages of the improved image composition but also revealed composition's remarkable contribution for getting analogical relationship by children.

We present a sparse coding based spectral-spatial classification model for hyperspectral image (HSI) datasets. The proposed method consists of an efficient sparse coding method in which the l(1)/l(q) regularized multi-class logistic regression technique was utilized to achieve a compact representation of hyperspectral image pixels for land cover classification. We applied the proposed algorithm to a HSI dataset collected at the Kennedy Space Center and compared our algorithm to a recently proposed method, Gaussian process maximum likelihood (GP-ML) classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve significantly better performances than the GP-ML classifier when training data is limited with a compact pixel representation, leading to more efficient HSI classification systems.

This paper deals with the analysis of WD Face dictionary for sparse coding based face recognition. WD (weighted decomposition) Face dictionary emphasizes subject specific unique information of a person. This dictionary has an advantage to adapt to the nature of training images. In the resultant dictionary rows are uncorrelated, which is an essential criterion for dictionary to ensure sparse representation of coefficient vector. The range of sparsity determined by calculating the lower and upper bounds of sparse recovery of coefficient vector for WD Face dictionary exhibits its capability to sparsely represent a test image as a linear combination of training images, even when available training images are small in number. Experimental results solidify our proposal that sparse coding based face recognition with WD Face dictionary is preferable to the existing face recognition techniques.

Signal models where non-negative vector data are represented by a sparse linear combination of non-negative basis vectors have attracted much attention in problems including image classification, document topic modeling, sound source segregation and robust speech recognition. In this paper, an iterative algorithm based on Newton updates to minimize the Kullback-Leibler divergence between data and model is proposed. It finds the sparse activation weights of the basis vectors more efficiently than the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. To avoid the computational burden of a matrix inversion, a diagonal approximation is made and therefore the algorithm is called diagonal Newton Algorithm (DNA). It is several times faster than EM, especially for undercomplete problems. But DNA also performs surprisingly well on overcomplete problems.

In recent years, sparse coding has drawn considerable research attention in developing feature representations for visual recognition problems. In this paper, we devise sparse coding algorithms to learn a dictionary of basis functions from Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptors extracted from images. The learned dictionary is used to code SIFT-based inputs for the feature representation that is further pooled via spatial pyramid matching kernels and fed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for object classification on the large-scale ImageNet dataset. We investigate the advantage of SIFT-based sparse coding approach by combining different dictionary learning and sparse representation algorithms. Our results also include favorable performance on different subsets of the ImageNet database.

Considering that the SRC algorithm cannot solve the error offset problem between the testing and training samples, we propose one method as the affine transformation and partition by integrating into the linear reconstruction model, which were named as block adaptive multi-pose face recognition algorithm (BA-SRC). In this method, we first model the pose change using the affine transformation model for the face after the human face was blocked. Then we estimate the initial value of the affine transformation parameter by minimizing the image block reconstruction error, and then compensate the local area error caused by pose change, so as to improve the performance of face recognition. The experiments show that the algorithm proposed in this paper is very robust to pose change, and has a good recognition result.

Bag of words (BoW) based retrieval is an efficient method to compare the visual similarity between two images. Recognition free methods based on BoW have shown to outperform OCR based methods. We further improve the performance by defining a document specific sparse coding scheme for representing visual words (interest points) in document images. Our method is motivated by the successful use of sparsity in signal representation by exploiting the neighbourhood properties. In addition to providing insights into the design of the coding scheme, we also verify the method on two data sets and compare with the recent methods. We have also developed text query based search solution, and we report performance comparable to image based search.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with progressive impairment of memory and cognitive functions. sparse coding (SC) has been demonstrated to be an efficient and effective method for AD diagnosis and prognosis. However, previous SC methods usually focus on the baseline data while ignoring the consistent longitudinal features with strong sparsity pattern along the disease progression. Additionally, SC methods extract sparse features from image patches separately rather than learn with the dictionary atoms across the entire subject. To address these two concerns and comprehensively capture temporal-subject sparse features towards earlier and better discriminability of AD, we propose a novel supervised SC network termed Temporally Adaptive-Dynamic sparse Network (TADsNet) to uncover the sequential correlation and native subject-level codes from the longitudinal brain images. Our work adaptively updates the sparse codes to impose the temporal regularized correlation and dynamically mine the dictionary atoms to make use of entire subject-level features. Experimental results on ADNI-I cohort validate the superiority of our approach.

Monitoring the health condition of rotating machinery in manufacturing systems usually requires vibration signals to be continuously collected, transmitted, and stored. The available bandwidth in communication channels for transmission of a large amount of data is limited in an industry setting. Therefore, reducing the amount of data in communication and storage without sacrificing the amount of information collection is necessary. Here, a new technique called physics-constrained dictionary learning is proposed to reduce the volume of data in storage and communication using compressed sensing. In compressed sensing, the original signals can be reconstructed with a much smaller amount of data determined by a measurement matrix, if the representation of signals in the reciprocal space is sparse. The proposed physics-constrained dictionary learning approach optimizes the measurement and basis matrices simultaneously to improve the accuracy of reconstruction, where physical constraints of time stamps of sampling and sampling intervals are considered. New training algorithms are developed. The proposed scheme is applied to compress the vibration signals of roller bearings. It is shown that the reconstruction performance of the proposed scheme is significantly improved from traditional dictionary learning. (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In activity recognition, traditionally, features are chosen heuristically, based on explicit domain knowledge. Typical features are statistical measures, like mean, standard deviation, etc., which are tailored to the application at hand and might not fit in other cases. However, Feature Learning techniques have recently gained attention for building approaches that generalize over different application domains. More conventional approaches, like Principal Component Analysis, and newer ones, like Deep Belief Networks, have been studied so far and yielded significantly better results than traditional techniques. In this paper we study the potential of Shift-invariant sparse coding (SISC) as an additional Feature Learning technique for activity recognition. We evaluate the performance on several publicly available activity recognition data sets and show that classification based on features learned by SISC outperforms other previously presented Feature Learning techniques.
