 Right now we have:

 {{{
 SparseCoding::RandomInitDictionary();
 SparseCoding::DataDependentRandomInitDictionary();
 }}}

 We could instead have the dictionary initialization as a template
 parameter:

 {{{
 template<typename DictionaryInitializer =
 DataDependentDictionaryInitializer>
 class SparseCoding
 {
   ...
 };
 }}}

 and then the dictionary initialization happens at construction-time.
