Sparse Representation Classification via Screening for Graphs

Abstract

The sparse representation classifier (SRC) is shown to work well for image recognition problems that satisfy a subspace assumption. In this paper we propose a new implementation of SRC via screening, establish its equivalence to the original SRC under regularity conditions, and prove its classification consistency for random graphs drawn from stochastic blockmodels. The results are demonstrated via simulations and real data experiments, where the new algorithm achieves comparable numerical performance but significantly faster.
