Symmetric RBF classifier for nonlinear detection in multiple-antenna aided systems
In this paper, we propose a powerful symmetric radial basis function (RBF) classifier for nonlinear detection in the so-called “overloaded” multiple-antenna-aided communication systems. By exploiting the inherent symmetry property of the optimal Bayesian detector, the proposed symmetric RBF classifier is capable of approaching the optimal classification performance using noisy training data. The classifier construction process is robust to the choice of the RBF width and is computationally efficient. The proposed solution is capable of providing a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain in excess of 8 dB against the powerful linear minimum bit error rate (BER) benchmark, when supporting four users with the aid of two receive antennas or seven users with four receive antenna elements.

Kernel-based nonlinear beamforming construction using orthogonal forward selection with Fisher ratio class separability measure
This letter shows that the wireless communication system capacity is greatly enhanced by employing nonlinear beamforming and the optimal Bayesian beamformer outperforms the standard linear beamformer significantly in terms of a reduced bit error rate, at a cost of increased complexity. Block-data adaptive implementation of the Bayesian beamformer is realized based on an orthogonal forward selection procedure with Fisher ratio for class separability measure
A study of the classification of low-dimensional data with supervised manifold learning
Supervised manifold learning methods learn data representations by preserving
the geometric structure of data while enhancing the separation between data
samples from different classes. In this work, we propose a theoretical study of
supervised manifold learning for classification. We consider nonlinear
dimensionality reduction algorithms that yield linearly separable embeddings of
training data and present generalization bounds for this type of algorithms. A
necessary condition for satisfactory generalization performance is that the
embedding allow the construction of a sufficiently regular interpolation
function in relation with the separation margin of the embedding. We show that
for supervised embeddings satisfying this condition, the classification error
decays at an exponential rate with the number of training samples. Finally, we
examine the separability of supervised nonlinear embeddings that aim to
preserve the low-dimensional geometric structure of data based on graph
representations. The proposed analysis is supported by experiments on several
real data sets
Elastic net prefiltering for two class classification
A two-stage linear-in-the-parameter model construction algorithm is proposed aimed at noisy two-class classification problems. The purpose of the first stage is to produce a prefiltered signal that is used as the desired output for the second stage which constructs a sparse linear-in-the-parameter classifier. The prefiltering stage is a two-level process aimed at maximizing a model’s generalization capability, in which a new elastic-net model identification algorithm using singular value decomposition is employed at the lower level, and then, two regularization parameters are optimized using a particle-swarm-optimization algorithm at the upper level by minimizing the leave-one-out (LOO) misclassification rate. It is shown that the LOO misclassification rate based on the resultant prefiltered signal can be analytically computed without splitting the data set, and the associated computational cost is minimal due to orthogonality. The second stage of sparse classifier construction is based on orthogonal forward regression with the D-optimality algorithm. Extensive simulations of this approach for noisy data sets illustrate the competitiveness of this approach to classification of noisy data problems
