This paper describes a hierarchical learning strategy for generating sparse representations of multivariate datasets. The hierarchy arises from approximation spaces considered at successively finer scales. A detailed analysis of stability, convergence and behavior of error functionals associated with the approximations are presented, along with a well chosen set of applications. Results show the performance of the approach as a data reduction mechanism for both synthetic (univariate and multivariate) and a real dataset (geo-spatial). The sparse representation generated is shown to efficiently reconstruct data and minimize error in prediction. The approach is also shown to generalize well to unseen samples, extending its prospective application to statistical learning problems.

Keywords: Sparse representation and learning, data reduction, approximation error analysis.

Figure 4.  Scalewise performance of Algorithm 1 on TF2. The plots in the left column((a), (c), (e) and (g)) show the density of basis functions at each scale, selected while identifying the sparse representation. Rank here refers to the cardinality of basis function set $ B^s $. The right column ((b), (d), (f) and (h)) shows the corresponding scalewise reconstruction of the underlying function. The small dots show the samples from true function while star markers represent the sparse representation $ D^s_{sparse} $. The solid curve is the reconstruction from the sparse representation. The fraction in bracket (for example (11/200) for (b)) shows the number of data points chosen out of 200 as $ D^s_{sparse} $

Table 1.  Comparison of training and prediction time for Algorithm 1 ($ Shek $) and Algorithm 4 from [5] ($ Berm $). For training analysis, we have considered the case of different training data sizes ($ |X| $) for all test functions. Correspondingly, for testing prediction latency, we again have sets $ |X_{pred}| $ of different cardinality. For each case, the approach taking shorter time has been boldfaced
