Optimal dictionary for least squares representation

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Dictionaries are collections of vectors used for representations of random vectors in Euclidean spaces. Recent research on optimal dictionaries is focused on constructing dictionaries that offer sparse representations, i.e., ell0-optimal representations. Here we consider the problem of finding optimal dictionaries with which representations of samples of a random vector are optimal in an ell2-sense: optimality of representation is defined as attaining the minimal average ell2-norm of the coefficients used to represent the random vector. With the help of recent results on rank-1 decompositions of symmetric positive semidefinite matrices, we provide an explicit description of ell2-optimal dictionaries as well as their algorithmic constructions in polynomial time.
