DFDL: Discriminative Feature-oriented Dictionary Learning for Histopathological Image Classification
In histopathological image analysis, feature extraction for classification is
a challenging task due to the diversity of histology features suitable for each
problem as well as presence of rich geometrical structure. In this paper, we
propose an automatic feature discovery framework for extracting discriminative
class-specific features and present a low-complexity method for classification
and disease grading in histopathology. Essentially, our Discriminative
Feature-oriented Dictionary Learning (DFDL) method learns class-specific
features which are suitable for representing samples from the same class while
are poorly capable of representing samples from other classes. Experiments on
three challenging real-world image databases: 1) histopathological images of
intraductal breast lesions, 2) mammalian lung images provided by the Animal
Diagnostics Lab (ADL) at Pennsylvania State University, and 3) brain tumor
images from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, show the significance of
DFDL model in a variety problems over state-of-the-art methodsComment: Accepted to IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging

Joint & Progressive Learning from High-Dimensional Data for Multi-Label Classification
Despite the fact that nonlinear subspace learning techniques (e.g. manifold
learning) have successfully applied to data representation, there is still room
for improvement in explainability (explicit mapping), generalization
(out-of-samples), and cost-effectiveness (linearization). To this end, a novel
linearized subspace learning technique is developed in a joint and progressive
way, called \textbf{j}oint and \textbf{p}rogressive \textbf{l}earning
str\textbf{a}teg\textbf{y} (J-Play), with its application to multi-label
classification. The J-Play learns high-level and semantically meaningful
feature representation from high-dimensional data by 1) jointly performing
multiple subspace learning and classification to find a latent subspace where
samples are expected to be better classified; 2) progressively learning
multi-coupled projections to linearly approach the optimal mapping bridging the
original space with the most discriminative subspace; 3) locally embedding
manifold structure in each learnable latent subspace. Extensive experiments are
performed to demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed
method in comparison with previous state-of-the-art methods.Comment: accepted in ECCV 201
Unsupervised spectral sub-feature learning for hyperspectral image classification
Spectral pixel classification is one of the principal techniques used in hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis. In this article, we propose an unsupervised feature learning method for classification of hyperspectral images. The proposed method learns a dictionary of sub-feature basis representations from the spectral domain, which allows effective use of the correlated spectral data. The learned dictionary is then used in encoding convolutional samples from the hyperspectral input pixels to an expanded but sparse feature space. Expanded hyperspectral feature representations enable linear separation between object classes present in an image. To evaluate the proposed method, we performed experiments on several commonly used HSI data sets acquired at different locations and by different sensors. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other pixel-wise classification methods that make use of unsupervised feature extraction approaches. Additionally, even though our approach does not use any prior knowledge, or labelled training data to learn features, it yields either advantageous, or comparable, results in terms of classification accuracy with respect to recent semi-supervised methods
Kernel Multivariate Analysis Framework for Supervised Subspace Learning: A Tutorial on Linear and Kernel Multivariate Methods
Feature extraction and dimensionality reduction are important tasks in many
fields of science dealing with signal processing and analysis. The relevance of
these techniques is increasing as current sensory devices are developed with
ever higher resolution, and problems involving multimodal data sources become
more common. A plethora of feature extraction methods are available in the
literature collectively grouped under the field of Multivariate Analysis (MVA).
This paper provides a uniform treatment of several methods: Principal Component
Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares (PLS), Canonical Correlation Analysis
(CCA) and Orthonormalized PLS (OPLS), as well as their non-linear extensions
derived by means of the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We also
review their connections to other methods for classification and statistical
dependence estimation, and introduce some recent developments to deal with the
extreme cases of large-scale and low-sized problems. To illustrate the wide
applicability of these methods in both classification and regression problems,
we analyze their performance in a benchmark of publicly available data sets,
and pay special attention to specific real applications involving audio
processing for music genre prediction and hyperspectral satellite images for
Earth and climate monitoring
