NAME

       mlpack_local_coordinate_coding - local coordinate coding

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

       An  implementation  of  Local Coordinate Coding (LCC), which codes data that approximately
       lives on a manifold using a variation of l1-norm regularized sparse coding. Given a  dense
       data  matrix X with n points and d dimensions, LCC seeks to find a dense dictionary matrix
       D with k atoms in d dimensions, and a coding matrix Z  with  n  points  in  k  dimensions.
       Because of the regularization method used, the atoms in D should lie close to the manifold
       on which the data points lie.

       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

       $  mlpack_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:

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