Sparse Coding

Sparse coding aims to represent data using a minimal set of basis elements, promoting efficient and interpretable feature extraction. Current research focuses on integrating sparse coding with deep learning architectures like convolutional neural networks and transformers, employing algorithms such as FISTA and Langevin dynamics to optimize sparse representations and improve model convergence. This approach enhances model robustness, generalization, and interpretability across diverse applications, including image processing, medical image segmentation, and reinforcement learning, by enabling efficient feature learning and improved data handling. The resulting advancements contribute to more accurate and efficient models in various fields.
