Enhancing information discriminant analysis: Feature extraction with linear statistical model and information-theoretic criteria

作者:

Highlights:

• We develop a novel feature transformation method for linear dimensionality reduction.

• The statistics in the transformed subspace are learned to reduce unknown parameters.

• The transformation matrix is obtained via joint optimization of MI and likelihood.

• Our method can maximize between-class separability as well as reduce estimation errors.

• Experimental results show our method performs better than other related methods.
