Low-Rank Matrices on Graphs: Generalized Recovery & Applications
Many real world datasets subsume a linear or non-linear low-rank structure in
a very low-dimensional space. Unfortunately, one often has very little or no
information about the geometry of the space, resulting in a highly
under-determined recovery problem. Under certain circumstances,
state-of-the-art algorithms provide an exact recovery for linear low-rank
structures but at the expense of highly inscalable algorithms which use nuclear
norm. However, the case of non-linear structures remains unresolved. We revisit
the problem of low-rank recovery from a totally different perspective,
involving graphs which encode pairwise similarity between the data samples and
features. Surprisingly, our analysis confirms that it is possible to recover
many approximate linear and non-linear low-rank structures with recovery
guarantees with a set of highly scalable and efficient algorithms. We call such
data matrices as \textit{Low-Rank matrices on graphs} and show that many real
world datasets satisfy this assumption approximately due to underlying
stationarity. Our detailed theoretical and experimental analysis unveils the
power of the simple, yet very novel recovery framework \textit{Fast Robust PCA

Simultaneous Spectral-Spatial Feature Selection and Extraction for Hyperspectral Images
In hyperspectral remote sensing data mining, it is important to take into
account of both spectral and spatial information, such as the spectral
signature, texture feature and morphological property, to improve the
performances, e.g., the image classification accuracy. In a feature
representation point of view, a nature approach to handle this situation is to
concatenate the spectral and spatial features into a single but high
dimensional vector and then apply a certain dimension reduction technique
directly on that concatenated vector before feed it into the subsequent
classifier. However, multiple features from various domains definitely have
different physical meanings and statistical properties, and thus such
concatenation hasn't efficiently explore the complementary properties among
different features, which should benefit for boost the feature
discriminability. Furthermore, it is also difficult to interpret the
transformed results of the concatenated vector. Consequently, finding a
physically meaningful consensus low dimensional feature representation of
original multiple features is still a challenging task. In order to address the
these issues, we propose a novel feature learning framework, i.e., the
simultaneous spectral-spatial feature selection and extraction algorithm, for
hyperspectral images spectral-spatial feature representation and
classification. Specifically, the proposed method learns a latent low
dimensional subspace by projecting the spectral-spatial feature into a common
feature space, where the complementary information has been effectively
exploited, and simultaneously, only the most significant original features have
been transformed. Encouraging experimental results on three public available
hyperspectral remote sensing datasets confirm that our proposed method is
effective and efficient
A framework of face recognition with set of testing images
We propose a novel framework to solve the face recognition problem base on set of testing images. Our framework can handle the case that no pose overlap between training set and query set. The main techniques used in this framework are manifold alignment, face normalization and discriminant learning. Experiments on different databases show our system outperforms some state of the art methods
