Local sparsity

Penguin learning project

The project uses 342 complete Palmer penguin records: 240 training-pool and 102 held-out rows. The selected training rows determine feature scaling and model parameters. Source CSV

This project trains weights with softmax, unlike the homepage lab, which uses nearest species averages. Same penguin measurements; different classification methods. Predictions can differ.

Frames and sparse signals · Encode or reconstruct signals with frames and dictionaries.

The project scales bill and flipper measurements using training-row means and scales; its feature vector has two entries.

Consider this concept alongside the project; its source assumptions may differ. These observations do not prove a theorem.

Input: 12 × 2; Held-out evaluation: 102 · #58 · 40.6 mm, 193 mm. Known answer: Adélie; Prediction: Adélie · [≈0.7383, ≈0.2444, ≈0.01737].

Used in these source sections: 7.2 A few building blocks at a time

For each circular position count nonzero coefficients in the local window across channels, then take the largest count.

These computations organize features and sparse coefficients.

Source formula example

This source example uses its own inputs and assumptions. Editing it does not change the project.

Edit a value or the code, then run the example. This is a finite demonstration, not a proof of the paper’s theorem.

This example’s data flow

You choose

  • input.last = 1

Calculated here

Result expression: { counts, maximum: Math.max(...counts) }

  • channels = [ [1, 0, input.last], [0, 1, 0], ] Uses: input.last
  • counts = [0, 1, 2].map((g) => channels.reduce( (sum, c) => sum + [0, 1, 2].filter((k) => c[(g + k) % 3] !== 0).length, 0, ), ) Uses: channels

Returns

Example result
counts
array (3 items): [3, 3, 3]
maximum
3

Read numbers from input and return the result. JavaScript basics.

Technical statement

The example uses n = 2, so the local window has 2n − 1 = 3 positions. The maximum is taken over every position in this finite group.
