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
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been successfully applied to many
areas for classification and clustering. Commonly-used NMF algorithms mainly
target on minimizing the 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)
