A computer system that performs a sparsity technique is described. During operation, the computer system accesses or obtains information associated with non-invasive measurements performed on at least an individual, historical non-invasive measurements, and a dictionary of predetermined features or basis functions associated with the historical non-invasive measurements. Note that the non-invasive measurements and the historical non-invasive measurements may include or correspond to magnetic resonance (MR) measurements. For example, the MR measurements may include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Then, the computer system updates the dictionary of predetermined features based at least in part on the non-invasive measurements and the historical non-invasive measurements, where the updating includes performing a minimization technique with a cost function having an L2-norm term and an L0-norm term. Next, the computer system determines weights associated with features in the updated dictionary of predetermined features based at least in part on the non-invasive measurements.
