Structured sparse representations for supervised and unsupervised learning by Zeng, Yijie

“…This is achieved via a novel weighted class specific group sparsity regularization imposed on each class of the samples. The group sparsity property removes unwanted features from the same group simultaneously and keeps only important ones for the whole group, thus the regularization is able to improve uniformity of the sparse patterns of signals belonging to the same class and suppress ``support overlaps'' of different classes. …”
