We introduce an algorithm for efficiently representing convolution with zero-padding and stride as a sparse transformation matrix, applied to a vectorized input through sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV). We provide a theoretical…

Efficient handling of sparse data is a key challenge in Computer Science. Binary convolutions, such as polynomial multiplication or the Walsh Transform are a useful tool in many applications and are efficiently solved. In the last decade,…

An exact, one-to-one transform is presented that not only allows digital circular convolutions, but is free from multiplications and quantisation errors for transform lengths of arbitrary powers of two. The transform is analogous to the…

The hashing trick is a machine learning technique used to encode categorical features into a numerical vector representation of pre-defined fixed length. It works by using the categorical hash values as vector indices, and updating the…

Inspired by recent work on convex formulations of clustering (Lashkari & Golland, 2008; Nowozin & Bakir, 2008) we investigate a new formulation of the Sparse Coding Problem (Olshausen & Field, 1997). In sparse coding we attempt to…

It has recently been observed that certain extremely simple feature encoding techniques are able to achieve state of the art performance on several standard image classification benchmarks including deep belief networks, convolutional nets,…

We present new convolution based smooth approximations to the absolute value function and apply them to construct gradient based algorithms such as the nonlinear conjugate gradient scheme to obtain sparse, regularized solutions of linear…

Sparse and convolutional constraints form a natural prior for many optimization problems that arise from physical processes. Detecting motifs in speech and musical passages, super-resolving images, compressing videos, and reconstructing…

Computing the convolution $A\star B$ of two length-$n$ vectors $A,B$ is an ubiquitous computational primitive. Applications range from string problems to Knapsack-type problems, and from 3SUM to All-Pairs Shortest Paths. These applications…

Simply put, a sparse polynomial is one whose zero coefficients are not explicitly stored. Such objects are ubiquitous in exact computing, and so naturally we would like to have efficient algorithms to handle them. However, with this compact…

Computing the convolution $A \star B$ of two vectors of dimension $n$ is one of the most important computational primitives in many fields. For the non-negative convolution scenario, the classical solution is to leverage the Fast Fourier…

In sparse coding, we attempt to extract features of input vectors, assuming that the data is inherently structured as a sparse superposition of basic building blocks. Similarly, neural networks perform a given task by learning features of…

This work is devoted to proving that, given an integer $x \ge 2$, there are infinitely many perfect powers, coprime with $x$, having exactly $k \ge 3$ non-zero digits in their base $x$ representation, except for the case $x=2, k=4$, for…

Given a set of vectors (the data) in a Hilbert space H, we prove the existence of an optimal collection of subspaces minimizing the sum of the square of the distances between each vector and its closest subspace in the collection. This…

A cofactor representation of an ideal element, that is, a representation in terms of the generators, can be considered as a certificate for ideal membership. Such a representation is typically not unique, and some can be a lot more…

The celebrated sparse representation model has led to remarkable results in various signal processing tasks in the last decade. However, despite its initial purpose of serving as a global prior for entire signals, it has been commonly used…

In this paper we introduce the class of infinite infimal convolution functionals and apply these functionals to the regularization of ill-posed inverse problems. The proposed regularization involves an infimal convolution of a continuously…

In sparse convolution-type problems, a common technique is to hash the input integers modulo a random prime $p\in [Q/2,Q]$ for some parameter $Q$, which reduces the range of the input integers while preserving their additive structure.…

Convolutional sparse representations are a form of sparse representation with a dictionary that has a structure that is equivalent to convolution with a set of linear filters. While effective algorithms have recently been developed for the…

A simple sparse coding mechanism appears in the sensory systems of several organisms: to a coarse approximation, an input $x \in \R^d$ is mapped to much higher dimension $m \gg d$ by a random linear transformation, and is then sparsified by…
