Kernel-based discriminative elastic embedding algorithm

摘要

A nonlinear version of discriminative elastic embedding (DEE) algorithm is presented, called kernel discriminative elastic embedding (KDEE). In this paper, we concretely fulfill the following works: (1) class labels and linear projection matrix are integrated into the kernel-based objective function; (2) two different strategies are adopted for optimizing the objective function of KDEE, and accordingly the final algorithms are termed as KDEE1 and KDEE2 respectively; (3) a deliberately selected Laplacian search direction is adopted in KDEE1 for faster convergence. Experimental results on several publicly available databases demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves powerful pattern revealing capability for complex manifold data.
