Training-Adaptive Convolutional Sparse Coding via Information Bottleneck for Robust Visual Representation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces a training‑adaptive convolutional sparse coding (CSC) framework that learns the sparsity coefficient jointly with network parameters using an unfolded FISTA optimization. By treating the coefficient as a differentiable variable, the method balances information retention and compression through an information bottleneck perspective, promoting compact yet task‑relevant representations. A label‑free post‑training strategy further adjusts compression for corrupted inputs, yielding competitive accuracy on clean data and enhanced robustness to perturbations on CIFAR and ImageNet.
