A Hybrid Nonlinear-Discriminant Analysis Feature Projection Technique

چکیده
Feature set dimensionality reduction via Discriminant Analysis (DA) is one of the most sought after approaches in many applications. In this paper, a novel nonlinear DA technique is presented based on a hybrid of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and the Uncorrelated Linear Discriminant Analysis (ULDA). Although dimensionality reduction via ULDA can present a set of statistically uncorrelated features, but similar to the existing DA’s it assumes that the original data set is linearly separable, which is not the case with most real world problems. In order to overcome this problem, a one layer feed-forward ANN trained with a Differential Evolution (DE) optimization technique is combined with ULDA to implement a nonlinear feature projection technique. This combination acts as nonlinear discriminant analysis. The proposed approach is validated on a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) problem and compared with other techniques.

We propose a novel hybrid illumination invariant feature selection scheme for face recognition, which is a combination of geometrical feature extraction and linear subspace projection. By local geometry feature enhancement technique, neighborhood histogram equalization (NHE) in our experiment, some illegible edges due to week illumination will be enhanced effectively.

متن کاملKernel Reference Discriminant Analysis
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and its nonlinear version Kernel Discriminant Analysis (KDA) are well-known and widely used techniques for supervised feature extraction and dimensionality reduction. They determine an optimal discriminant space for (non)linear data projection based on certain assumptions, e.g. on using normal distributions (either on the input or in the kernel space) for each...
متن کاملUnsupervised Discriminant Projection Analysis for Feature Extraction
This paper develops an unsupervised discriminant projection (UDP) technique for feature extraction. UDP takes the local and non-local information into account, seeking to find a projection that maximizes the non-local scatter and minimizes the local scatter simultaneously. This characteristic makes UDP more intuitive and more powerful than the up-to-date method ocality preserving projection (LP...
