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
Proceedings of the second "international Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST'14)
The implicit objective of the biennial "international - Traveling Workshop on
Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST) is to foster
collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas
through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For its
second edition, the iTWIST workshop took place in the medieval and picturesque
town of Namur in Belgium, from Wednesday August 27th till Friday August 29th,
2014. The workshop was conveniently located in "The Arsenal" building within
walking distance of both hotels and town center. iTWIST'14 has gathered about
70 international participants and has featured 9 invited talks, 10 oral
presentations, and 14 posters on the following themes, all related to the
theory, application and generalization of the "sparsity paradigm":
Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing; Union of low dimensional
subspaces; Beyond linear and convex inverse problem; Matrix/manifold/graph
sensing/processing; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Sparsity
and computational neuroscience; Information theory, geometry and randomness;
Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods; Sparsity? What's next?;
Sparse machine learning and inference.Comment: 69 pages, 24 extended abstracts, iTWIST'14 website:
