Inspired by recent work on convex formulations of clustering (Lashkari & Golland, 2008; Nowozin & Bakir, 2008) we investigate a new formulation of the Sparse Coding Problem (Olshausen & Field, 1997). In sparse coding we attempt to simultaneously represent a sequence of data-vectors sparsely (i.e. sparse approximation (Tropp et al., 2006)) in terms of a "code" defined by a set of basis elements, while also finding a code that enables such an approximation. As existing alternating optimization procedures for sparse coding are theoretically prone to severe local minima problems, we propose a convex relaxation of the sparse coding problem and derive a boosting-style algorithm, that (Nowozin & Bakir, 2008) serves as a convex "master problem" which calls a (potentially non-convex) sub-problem to identify the next code element to add. Finally, we demonstrate the properties of our boosted coding algorithm on an image denoising task.
