Fast Robust PCA on Graphs
Mining useful clusters from high dimensional data has received significant
attention of the computer vision and pattern recognition community in the
recent years. Linear and non-linear dimensionality reduction has played an
important role to overcome the curse of dimensionality. However, often such
methods are accompanied with three different problems: high computational
complexity (usually associated with the nuclear norm minimization),
non-convexity (for matrix factorization methods) and susceptibility to gross
corruptions in the data. In this paper we propose a principal component
analysis (PCA) based solution that overcomes these three issues and
approximates a low-rank recovery method for high dimensional datasets. We
target the low-rank recovery by enforcing two types of graph smoothness
assumptions, one on the data samples and the other on the features by designing
a convex optimization problem. The resulting algorithm is fast, efficient and
scalable for huge datasets with O(nlog(n)) computational complexity in the
number of data samples. It is also robust to gross corruptions in the dataset
as well as to the model parameters. Clustering experiments on 7 benchmark
datasets with different types of corruptions and background separation
experiments on 3 video datasets show that our proposed model outperforms 10
state-of-the-art dimensionality reduction models. Our theoretical analysis
proves that the proposed model is able to recover approximate low-rank
representations with a bounded error for clusterable data
Robust Principal Component Analysis on Graphs
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is the most widely used tool for linear
dimensionality reduction and clustering. Still it is highly sensitive to
outliers and does not scale well with respect to the number of data samples.
Robust PCA solves the first issue with a sparse penalty term. The second issue
can be handled with the matrix factorization model, which is however
non-convex. Besides, PCA based clustering can also be enhanced by using a graph
of data similarity. In this article, we introduce a new model called "Robust
PCA on Graphs" which incorporates spectral graph regularization into the Robust
PCA framework. Our proposed model benefits from 1) the robustness of principal
components to occlusions and missing values, 2) enhanced low-rank recovery, 3)
improved clustering property due to the graph smoothness assumption on the
low-rank matrix, and 4) convexity of the resulting optimization problem.
Extensive experiments on 8 benchmark, 3 video and 2 artificial datasets with
corruptions clearly reveal that our model outperforms 10 other state-of-the-art
models in its clustering and low-rank recovery tasks
