“…Pattern classification aims to find the correct class to which a query sample y belongs, given the training samples X from K classes. In the past decades, many pattern classification algorithms [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20] have been proposed. Among different types of pattern classification methods, one major category is the representation based methods [9,10,11,12,13,17].…”
