contents This paper introduces a new paradigm for sparse transformation: the Prior-to-Posterior Sparse Transform (POST) framework, designed to overcome long-standing limitation on generalization and specificity in classical sparse transforms for compressed sensing. POST systematically unifies the generalization capacity of any existing transform domains with the specificity of reference knowledge, enabling flexible adaptation to diverse signal characteristics. Within this framework, we derive an explicit sparse transform domain termed HOT, which adaptively handles both real and complex-valued signals. We theoretically establish HOT's sparse representation properties under single and multiple reference settings, demonstrating its ability to preserve generalization while enhancing specificity even under weak reference information. Extensive experiments confirm that HOT delivers substantial meta-gains across audio sensing, 5G channel estimation, and image compression tasks, consistently boosting multiple compressed sensing algorithms under diverse multimodal settings with negligible computational overhead.
