Dayan and Abbott has a nice section on sparse coding in Chapter 10. This is on the syllabus for unsupervised learning already, but you may want to focus on section 10.3 and 10.4.
Here is a link to Compressive Sensive Resources at Rice. It has an enormous number of recent papers related to compressed sensing and sparse coding.
