PT Journal AU Adriana Romero Petia Radeva Carlo Gatta TI Meta-parameter free unsupervised sparse feature learning SO IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence JI TPAMI PY 2015 BP 1716 EP 1722 VL 37 IS 8 DI 10.1109/TPAMI.2014.2366129 AB We propose a meta-parameter free, off-the-shelf, simple and fast unsupervised feature learning algorithm, which exploits a new way of optimizing for sparsity. Experiments on CIFAR-10, STL- 10 and UCMerced show that the method achieves the state-of-theart performance, providing discriminative features that generalize well. ER
