// Class for loading the data required for descibing a Fields of Experts (FoE)
// model. The Fields of Experts regularization consists of terms of the type
//
//   alpha * log(1 + (1/2)*sum(F .* X)^2),
//
// where F is a d-by-d image patch and alpha is a constant. This is implemented
// by a FieldsOfExpertsSum object which represents the dot product between the
// image patches and a FieldsOfExpertsLoss which implements the log(1 + (1/2)s)
// part.
