"SPARSE APPROXIMATION IN SIGNAL PROCESSING AND MACHINE LEARNING"

I provide a broad overview of sparse approximation, and a variety of
its applications to signal processing and machine learning with a focus
on sound and music. In one sense, sparse approximation allows a
flexibility in the decomposition of signals. One can define a
dictionary of several types of functions with which to linearly express
any signal. This has application in, for example, compression,
visualization, and source separation. In another sense, sparse
approximation allows a flexibility in the description of signals. This
technique has applications in, for example, music transcription, source
identification, and music genre recognition. Finally, I end with a
public service announcement of reproducible research.
