Phase retrieval for block sparsity based on adaptive coupled variational Bayesian learning by Di Zhang, Yimao Sun, Siqi Bai, Qun Wan

“…In the proposed algorithm, the block‐sparse structure is modelled by the hierarchical constructional priors with a novel adaptive coupled pattern, which provides a strong relationship between the neighbour blocks. Simulations indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing methods in success rate, noise‐robustness, and signal detection rate in large‐scale cases with acceptable computation complexity.…”
