Deep Multi-view Learning to Rank
We study the problem of learning to rank from multiple information sources.
Though multi-view learning and learning to rank have been studied extensively
leading to a wide range of applications, multi-view learning to rank as a
synergy of both topics has received little attention. The aim of the paper is
to propose a composite ranking method while keeping a close correlation with
the individual rankings simultaneously. We present a generic framework for
multi-view subspace learning to rank (MvSL2R), and two novel solutions are
introduced under the framework. The first solution captures information of
feature mappings from within each view as well as across views using
autoencoder-like networks. Novel feature embedding methods are formulated in
the optimization of multi-view unsupervised and discriminant autoencoders.
Moreover, we introduce an end-to-end solution to learning towards both the
joint ranking objective and the individual rankings. The proposed solution
enhances the joint ranking with minimum view-specific ranking loss, so that it
can achieve the maximum global view agreements in a single optimization
process. The proposed method is evaluated on three different ranking problems,
i.e. university ranking, multi-view lingual text ranking and image data
ranking, providing superior results compared to related methods.Comment: Published at IEEE TKD
Multi-view Metric Learning in Vector-valued Kernel Spaces
We consider the problem of metric learning for multi-view data and present a
novel method for learning within-view as well as between-view metrics in
vector-valued kernel spaces, as a way to capture multi-modal structure of the
data. We formulate two convex optimization problems to jointly learn the metric
and the classifier or regressor in kernel feature spaces. An iterative
three-step multi-view metric learning algorithm is derived from the
optimization problems. In order to scale the computation to large training
sets, a block-wise Nystr{\"o}m approximation of the multi-view kernel matrix is
introduced. We justify our approach theoretically and experimentally, and show
its performance on real-world datasets against relevant state-of-the-art
methods
Dissimilarity-based representation for radiomics applications
Radiomics is a term which refers to the analysis of the large amount of
quantitative tumor features extracted from medical images to find useful
predictive, diagnostic or prognostic information. Many recent studies have
proved that radiomics can offer a lot of useful information that physicians
cannot extract from the medical images and can be associated with other
information like gene or protein data. However, most of the classification
studies in radiomics report the use of feature selection methods without
identifying the machine learning challenges behind radiomics. In this paper, we
first show that the radiomics problem should be viewed as an high dimensional,
low sample size, multi view learning problem, then we compare different
solutions proposed in multi view learning for classifying radiomics data. Our
experiments, conducted on several real world multi view datasets, show that the
intermediate integration methods work significantly better than filter and
embedded feature selection methods commonly used in radiomics.Comment: conference, 6 pages, 2 figure
Online Unsupervised Multi-view Feature Selection
In the era of big data, it is becoming common to have data with multiple
modalities or coming from multiple sources, known as "multi-view data".
Multi-view data are usually unlabeled and come from high-dimensional spaces
(such as language vocabularies), unsupervised multi-view feature selection is
crucial to many applications. However, it is nontrivial due to the following
challenges. First, there are too many instances or the feature dimensionality
is too large. Thus, the data may not fit in memory. How to select useful
features with limited memory space? Second, how to select features from
streaming data and handles the concept drift? Third, how to leverage the
consistent and complementary information from different views to improve the
feature selection in the situation when the data are too big or come in as
streams? To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous works can solve all
the challenges simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an Online unsupervised
Multi-View Feature Selection, OMVFS, which deals with large-scale/streaming
multi-view data in an online fashion. OMVFS embeds unsupervised feature
selection into a clustering algorithm via NMF with sparse learning. It further
incorporates the graph regularization to preserve the local structure
information and help select discriminative features. Instead of storing all the
historical data, OMVFS processes the multi-view data chunk by chunk and
aggregates all the necessary information into several small matrices. By using
the buffering technique, the proposed OMVFS can reduce the computational and
storage cost while taking advantage of the structure information. Furthermore,
OMVFS can capture the concept drifts in the data streams. Extensive experiments
on four real-world datasets show the effectiveness and efficiency of the
proposed OMVFS method. More importantly, OMVFS is about 100 times faster than
the off-line methods
