Sparse multinomial kernel discriminant analysis (sMKDA)
Dimensionality reduction via canonical variate analysis (CVA) is important for pattern recognition and has been extended variously to permit more flexibility, e.g. by "kernelizing" the formulation. This can lead to over-fitting, usually ameliorated by regularization. Here, a method for sparse, multinomial kernel discriminant analysis (sMKDA) is proposed, using a sparse basis to control complexity. It is based on the connection between CVA and least-squares, and uses forward selection via orthogonal least-squares to approximate a basis, generalizing a similar approach for binomial problems. Classification can be performed directly via minimum Mahalanobis distance in the canonical variates. sMKDA achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of accuracy and sparseness on 11 benchmark datasets
Analyze of Classification Accaptence Subsidy Food Using Kernel Discriminant
Subsidy food is government program for social protection to poor households. The aims of this program are to effort households from starve and to decrease poverty. Less precisely target of this program has negative impact. So that to successful program, it’s important to know accuracy classification of admission subsidy food. The variables classification are number of household members, number of household member in work, average expenditure capita, weighted household, and floor area. Discriminant analysis is a multivariate statistical technique which can be used to classify the new observation into a specific group. Kernel discriminant analysis is a non-parametric method which is flexible because it does not have to concern about assumption from certain distribution and equal variance matrices as in parametric discriminant analysis. The classification using the kernel discriminant analysis with the normal kernel function with optimum bandwidth 0.6 gives accurate classification 75.35%
Neural Class-Specific Regression for face verification
Face verification is a problem approached in the literature mainly using
nonlinear class-specific subspace learning techniques. While it has been shown
that kernel-based Class-Specific Discriminant Analysis is able to provide
excellent performance in small- and medium-scale face verification problems,
its application in today's large-scale problems is difficult due to its
training space and computational requirements. In this paper, generalizing our
previous work on kernel-based class-specific discriminant analysis, we show
that class-specific subspace learning can be cast as a regression problem. This
allows us to derive linear, (reduced) kernel and neural network-based
class-specific discriminant analysis methods using efficient batch and/or
iterative training schemes, suited for large-scale learning problems. We test
the performance of these methods in two datasets describing medium- and
large-scale face verification problems.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
A Simple Iterative Algorithm for Parsimonious Binary Kernel Fisher Discrimination
By applying recent results in optimization theory variously known as optimization transfer or majorize/minimize algorithms, an algorithm for binary, kernel, Fisher discriminant analysis is introduced that makes use of a non-smooth penalty on the coefficients to provide a parsimonious solution. The problem is converted into a smooth optimization that can be solved iteratively with no greater overhead than iteratively re-weighted least-squares. The result is simple, easily programmed and is shown to perform, in terms of both accuracy and parsimony, as well as or better than a number of leading machine learning algorithms on two well-studied and substantial benchmarks
