A Learning-based Framework for Line-spectra Super-resolution

We propose a learning-based approach for estimating the spectrum of a multisinusoidal signal from a finite number of samples. A neural-network is trained to approximate the spectra of such signals on simulated data. The proposed methodology is very flexible: adapting to different signal and noise models only requires modifying the training data accordingly. Numerical experiments show that the approach performs competitively with classical methods designed for additive Gaussian noise at a range of noise levels, and is also effective in the presence of impulsive noise.
