    Image tag completion by local learning

    The problem of tag completion is to learn the missing tags of an image. In this paper, we propose to learn a tag scoring vector for each image by local linear learning. A local linear function is used in the neighborhood of each image to predict the tag scoring vectors of its neighboring images. We construct a unified objective function for the learning of both tag scoring vectors and local linear function parame- ters. In the objective, we impose the learned tag scoring vectors to be consistent with the known associations to the tags of each image, and also minimize the prediction error of each local linear function, while reducing the complexity of each local function. The objective function is optimized by an alternate optimization strategy and gradient descent methods in an iterative algorithm. We compare the proposed algorithm against different state-of-the-art tag completion methods, and the results show its advantages

    Document Clustering Based On Max-Correntropy Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

    Full text link
    Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been successfully applied to many areas for classification and clustering. Commonly-used NMF algorithms mainly target on minimizing the l2l_2 distance or Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, which may not be suitable for nonlinear case. In this paper, we propose a new decomposition method by maximizing the correntropy between the original and the product of two low-rank matrices for document clustering. This method also allows us to learn the new basis vectors of the semantic feature space from the data. To our knowledge, we haven't seen any work has been done by maximizing correntropy in NMF to cluster high dimensional document data. Our experiment results show the supremacy of our proposed method over other variants of NMF algorithm on Reuters21578 and TDT2 databasets.Comment: International Conference of Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC) 201
