A Family of Maximum Margin Criterion for Adaptive Learning
In recent years, pattern analysis plays an important role in data mining and
recognition, and many variants have been proposed to handle complicated
scenarios. In the literature, it has been quite familiar with high
dimensionality of data samples, but either such characteristics or large data
have become usual sense in real-world applications. In this work, an improved
maximum margin criterion (MMC) method is introduced firstly. With the new
definition of MMC, several variants of MMC, including random MMC, layered MMC,
2D^2 MMC, are designed to make adaptive learning applicable. Particularly, the
MMC network is developed to learn deep features of images in light of simple
deep networks. Experimental results on a diversity of data sets demonstrate the
discriminant ability of proposed MMC methods are compenent to be adopted in
complicated application scenarios.Comment: 14 page
Direct kernel biased discriminant analysis: a new content-based image retrieval relevance feedback algorithm
In recent years, a variety of relevance feedback (RF) schemes have been developed to improve the performance of content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Given user feedback information, the key to a RF scheme is how to select a subset of image features to construct a suitable dissimilarity measure. Among various RF schemes, biased discriminant analysis (BDA) based RF is one of the most promising. It is based on the observation that all positive samples are alike, while in general each negative sample is negative in its own way. However, to use BDA, the small sample size (SSS) problem is a big challenge, as users tend to give a small number of feedback samples. To explore solutions to this issue, this paper proposes a direct kernel BDA (DKBDA), which is less sensitive to SSS. An incremental DKBDA (IDKBDA) is also developed to speed up the analysis. Experimental results are reported on a real-world image collection to demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform the traditional kernel BDA (KBDA) and the support vector machine (SVM) based RF algorithms
