SPAMS 2.6.1 and python

SPAMS (SPArse Modeling Software) is an optimization toolbox for solving various sparse estimation problems.

  • Dictionary learning and matrix factorization:
    • NMF
    • sparse PCA
  • Solving sparse decomposition problems:
    • LARS
    • coordinate descent
    • OMP
    • proximal methods
  • Solving structured sparse decomposition problems:
    • l1/l2
    • l1/linf
    • sparse group lasso
    • tree-structured regularization
    • structured sparsity with overlapping groups.

Manipulated objects are imported from numpy and scipy. Matrices should be stored by columns, and sparse matrices should be "column compressed".

Installation from PyPI:

The standard installation uses the BLAS and LAPACK libraries used by Numpy:

pip install python-spams

Installation from sources

Make sure you have install libblas & liblapack (see below)

pip install -e .

Testing the interface :

python tests/test_spams.py -h # to get help
python tests/test_spams.py    # will run all the tests

Comments

Carefully install libblas & liblapack. For example on ubuntu, necessary to sudo apt-get -y install libblas-dev liblapack-dev gfortran. For MacOs, you most likely need to brew install gcc openblas lapack
