A Novel Hebbian Rules Based Method for Computation of Sparse Coding Basis Vectors

Sparse coding has high-performance encoding and ability to express images, sparse encoding basis vector plays a crucial role. The computational complexity of the most existing sparse coding basis vectors of is relatively large. In order to reduce the computational complexity and save the time to train basis vectors. A new Hebbian rules based method for computation of sparse coding basis vectors is proposed in this paper. A two-layer neural network is constructed to implement the task. The main idea of our work is to learn basis vectors by removing the redundancy of all initial vectors using Hebbian rules. The experiments on natural images prove that the proposed method is effective for sparse coding basis learning. It has the smaller computational complexity compared with the previous work.
