Graph Regularized Non-negative Matrix Factorization By Maximizing Correntropy
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has proved effective in many
clustering and classification tasks. The classic ways to measure the errors
between the original and the reconstructed matrix are distance or
Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. However, nonlinear cases are not properly
handled when we use these error measures. As a consequence, alternative
measures based on nonlinear kernels, such as correntropy, are proposed.
However, the current correntropy-based NMF only targets on the low-level
features without considering the intrinsic geometrical distribution of data. In
this paper, we propose a new NMF algorithm that preserves local invariance by
adding graph regularization into the process of max-correntropy-based matrix
factorization. Meanwhile, each feature can learn corresponding kernel from the
data. The experiment results of Caltech101 and Caltech256 show the benefits of
such combination against other NMF algorithms for the unsupervised image
clustering
Sparse Modeling for Image and Vision Processing
In recent years, a large amount of multi-disciplinary research has been
conducted on sparse models and their applications. In statistics and machine
learning, the sparsity principle is used to perform model selection---that is,
automatically selecting a simple model among a large collection of them. In
signal processing, sparse coding consists of representing data with linear
combinations of a few dictionary elements. Subsequently, the corresponding
tools have been widely adopted by several scientific communities such as
neuroscience, bioinformatics, or computer vision. The goal of this monograph is
to offer a self-contained view of sparse modeling for visual recognition and
image processing. More specifically, we focus on applications where the
dictionary is learned and adapted to data, yielding a compact representation
that has been successful in various contexts.Comment: 205 pages, to appear in Foundations and Trends in Computer Graphics
