Speed-up and multi-view extensions to Subclass Discriminant Analysis

원문 초록

In this paper, we propose a speed-up approach for subclass discriminant analysis and formulate a novel efficient multi-view solution to it. The speed-up approach is developed based on graph embedding and spectral regression approaches that involve eigendecomposition of the corresponding Laplacian matrix and regression to its eigenvectors. We show that by exploiting the structure of the between-class Laplacian matrix, the eigendecomposition step can be substituted with a much faster process. Furthermore, we formulate a novel criterion for multi-view subclass discriminant analysis and show that an efficient solution for it can be obtained in a similar to the single-view manner. We evaluate the proposed methods on nine single-view and nine multi-view datasets and compare them with related existing approaches. Experimental results show that the proposed solutions achieve competitive performance, often outperforming the existing methods. At the same time, they significantly decrease the training time.
