First- and Second-Order Methods for Online Convolutional Dictionary Learning

Convolutional sparse representations are a form of sparse representation with a structured, translation-invariant dictionary. Most convolutional dictionary learning algorithms to date operate in batch mode, requiring simultaneous access to all training images during the learning process, which results in very high memory usage and severely limits the training data size that can be used. Very recently, however, a number of authors have considered the design of online convolutional dictionary learning algorithms that offer far better scaling of memory and computational cost with training set size than batch methods. This study extends our prior work, improving a number of aspects of our previous algorithm; proposing an entirely new one, with better performance, that supports the inclusion of a spatial mask for learning from incomplete data; and providing a rigorous theoretical analysis of these methods.
