Hi everyone,

I'm using OrthogonalMatchingPursuit to get a sparse coding of a signal using a dictionary learned by a KSVD algorithm (pyksvd). However, during the fit I get the following RuntimeWarning:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sklearn/linear_model/omp.py:391: RuntimeWarning: Orthogonal matching pursuit ended prematurely due to linear dependence in the dictionary. The requested precision might not have been met.

  copy_X=copy_X, return_path=return_path)

In those cases the results are indeed not satisfactory. I don't get the point of this warning as it is common in sparse coding to have an overcomplete dictionary an thus also linear dependency within it. That should not be an issue for OMP. In fact, the warning is also raised if the dictionary is a square matrix.

Might this Warning also point to other issues in the application?


Thanks, Ben
