NAME
mlpack_local_coordinate_coding - local coordinate coding
SYNOPSIS
mlpack_local_coordinate_coding [-h] [-v] [-k int] [-c string] [-d string] [-i string] [-m string] [-l double] [-n int] [-N] [-M string] [-s int] [-T string] [-o double] [-t string] -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 option.
The l1-norm regularization parameter is specified with -l. For example, to run LCC on the dataset in
data.csv using 200 atoms and an l1-regularization parameter of 0.1, saving the dictionary into dict.csv
and the codes into codes.csv, use
$ local_coordinate_coding -i data.csv -k 200 -l 0.1 -d dict.csv -c codes.csv
The maximum number of iterations may be specified with the -n option. Optionally, the input data matrix
X can be normalized before coding with the -N option.
