Compressed Online Dictionary Learning for Fast fMRI Decomposition
We present a method for fast resting-state fMRI spatial decomposi-tions of
very large datasets, based on the reduction of the temporal dimension before
applying dictionary learning on concatenated individual records from groups of
subjects. Introducing a measure of correspondence between spatial
decompositions of rest fMRI, we demonstrates that time-reduced dictionary
learning produces result as reliable as non-reduced decompositions. We also
show that this reduction significantly improves computational scalability
Dependent Nonparametric Bayesian Group Dictionary Learning for online reconstruction of Dynamic MR images
In this paper, we introduce a dictionary learning based approach applied to
the problem of real-time reconstruction of MR image sequences that are highly
undersampled in k-space. Unlike traditional dictionary learning, our method
integrates both global and patch-wise (local) sparsity information and
incorporates some priori information into the reconstruction process. Moreover,
we use a Dependent Hierarchical Beta-process as the prior for the group-based
dictionary learning, which adaptively infers the dictionary size and the
sparsity of each patch; and also ensures that similar patches are manifested in
terms of similar dictionary atoms. An efficient numerical algorithm based on
the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is also presented.
Through extensive experimental results we show that our proposed method
achieves superior reconstruction quality, compared to the other state-of-the-
art DL-based methods
Tensor Decompositions for Signal Processing Applications From Two-way to Multiway Component Analysis
The widespread use of multi-sensor technology and the emergence of big
datasets has highlighted the limitations of standard flat-view matrix models
and the necessity to move towards more versatile data analysis tools. We show
that higher-order tensors (i.e., multiway arrays) enable such a fundamental
paradigm shift towards models that are essentially polynomial and whose
uniqueness, unlike the matrix methods, is guaranteed under verymild and natural
conditions. Benefiting fromthe power ofmultilinear algebra as theirmathematical
backbone, data analysis techniques using tensor decompositions are shown to
have great flexibility in the choice of constraints that match data properties,
and to find more general latent components in the data than matrix-based
methods. A comprehensive introduction to tensor decompositions is provided from
a signal processing perspective, starting from the algebraic foundations, via
basic Canonical Polyadic and Tucker models, through to advanced cause-effect
and multi-view data analysis schemes. We show that tensor decompositions enable
natural generalizations of some commonly used signal processing paradigms, such
as canonical correlation and subspace techniques, signal separation, linear
regression, feature extraction and classification. We also cover computational
aspects, and point out how ideas from compressed sensing and scientific
computing may be used for addressing the otherwise unmanageable storage and
manipulation problems associated with big datasets. The concepts are supported
by illustrative real world case studies illuminating the benefits of the tensor
framework, as efficient and promising tools for modern signal processing, data
analysis and machine learning applications; these benefits also extend to
vector/matrix data through tensorization. Keywords: ICA, NMF, CPD, Tucker

Sparse machine learning methods with applications in multivariate signal processing
This thesis details theoretical and empirical work that draws from two main subject areas: Machine
Learning (ML) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP). A unified general framework is given for the application
of sparse machine learning methods to multivariate signal processing. In particular, methods that
enforce sparsity will be employed for reasons of computational efficiency, regularisation, and compressibility.
The methods presented can be seen as modular building blocks that can be applied to a variety
of applications. Application specific prior knowledge can be used in various ways, resulting in a flexible
and powerful set of tools. The motivation for the methods is to be able to learn and generalise from a set
of multivariate signals.
In addition to testing on benchmark datasets, a series of empirical evaluations on real world
datasets were carried out. These included: the classification of musical genre from polyphonic audio
files; a study of how the sampling rate in a digital radar can be reduced through the use of Compressed
Sensing (CS); analysis of human perception of different modulations of musical key from
Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings; classification of genre of musical pieces to which a listener
is attending from Magnetoencephalography (MEG) brain recordings. These applications demonstrate
the efficacy of the framework and highlight interesting directions of future research
