Abstract

SParse Optimization Research COde (SPORCO) is an open-source Python package for solving optimization problems with sparsity-inducing regularization, consisting primarily of sparse coding and dictionary learning, for both standard and convolutional forms of sparse representation. In the current version, all optimization problems are solved within the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) framework. SPORCO was developed for applications in signal and image processing, but is also expected to be useful for problems in computer vision, statistics, and machine learning.
