NAME¶

SYNOPSIS¶

 mlpack_local_coordinate_coding [-k int] [-i string] [-m unknown] [-l double] [-n int] [-N bool] [-s int] [-T string] [-o double] [-t string] [-V bool] [-c string] [-d string] [-M unknown] [-h -v] 

DESCRIPTION¶

The original data matrix X can then be reconstructed as D * Z. Therefore, this program finds a representation of each point in X as a sparse linear combination of atoms in the dictionary D.

The coding is found with an algorithm which alternates between a dictionary step, which updates the dictionary D, and a coding step, which updates the coding matrix Z.

To run this program, the input matrix X must be specified (with -i), along with the number of atoms in the dictionary (-k). An initial dictionary may also be specified with the '--initial_dictionary_file (-i)' parameter. The l1-norm regularization parameter is specified with the '--lambda (-l)' parameter. For example, to run LCC on the dataset 'data.csv' using 200 atoms and an l1-regularization parameter of 0.1, saving the dictionary ’--dictionary_file (-d)' and the codes into '--codes_file (-c)', use

$ local_coordinate_coding --training_file data.csv --atoms 200 --lambda 0.1 --dictionary_file dict.csv --codes_file codes.csv

The maximum number of iterations may be specified with the '--max_iterations (-n)' parameter. Optionally, the input data matrix X can be normalized before coding with the '--normalize (-N)' parameter.

An LCC model may be saved using the '--output_model_file (-M)' output parameter. Then, to encode new points from the dataset 'points.csv' with the previously saved model 'lcc_model.bin', saving the new codes to ’new_codes.csv', the following command can be used:

$ local_coordinate_coding --input_model_file lcc_model.bin --test_file points.csv --codes_file new_codes.csv
