  • Patent number: 10268931
    Abstract: A method for constructing a dictionary to represent data from a training data set comprising: modeling the data as a linear combination of columns; modeling outliers in the data set via deterministic outlier vectors; formatting the training data set in matrix form for processing; defining an underlying structure in the data set; quantifying a similarity across the data; building a Laplacian matrix; using group-Lasso regularizers to succinctly represent the data; choosing scalar parameters for controlling the number of dictionary columns used to represent the data and the number of elements of the training data set identified as outliers; using BCD and PG methods on the vector-matrix-formatted data set to estimate a dictionary, corresponding expansion coefficients, and the outlier vectors; and using a length of the outlier vectors to identify outliers in the data.
