Manifold Learning and Dimensionality Reduction with Diffusion Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report gives an introduction to diffusion maps, some of their underlying theory, as well as their applications in spectral clustering. First, the shortcomings of linear methods such as PCA are shown to motivate the use of graph-based methods. We then explain Locally Linear Embedding [9], Isomap [11] and Laplacian eigenmaps [1], before we give details on diffusion maps and anisotropic diffusion processes.

Web image annotation by diffusion maps manifold learning algorithm
Automatic image annotation is one of the most challenging problems in machine vision areas. The goal of this task is to predict number of keywords automatically for images captured in real data. Many methods are based on visual features in order to calculate similarities between image samples. But the computation cost of these approaches is very high. These methods require many training samples...
متن کاملMultivariate time-series analysis and diffusion maps
Dimensionality reduction in multivariate time series has broad applications, ranging from financial-data analysis to biomedical research. However, high levels of ambient noise and various interferences result in nonstationary signals, which may lead to inefficient performance of conventional methods. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear dimensionality reduction framework using diffusion maps o...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study on the Performance of Spectral Manifold Learning Techniques
In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in spectral manifold learning techniques. Despite the interest, only little work has focused on the empirical behavior of these techniques. We construct synthetic data of variable complexity and observe the performance of the techniques as they are subjected to increasingly difficult problems. We evaluate performance in terms of both a classif...
متن کاملLearning Gradients: Predictive Models that Infer Geometry and Statistical Dependence
The problems of dimension reduction and inference of statistical dependence are addressed by the modeling framework of learning gradients. The models we propose hold for Euclidean spaces as well as the manifold setting. The central quantity in this approach is an estimate of the gradient of the regression or classification function. Two quadratic forms are constructed from gradient estimates: t...

In this paper, we first proposed the supervised version of probabilistic principal component analysis mixture model. Then, we consider a learning predictive model with projection penalties, as an approach for dimensionality reduction without loss of information for face recognition. In the proposed method, first a local linear underlying manifold of data samples is obtained using the supervised...
