Indefinite Kernel Discriminant Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Kernel methods for data analysis are frequently considered to be restricted to positive definite kernels. In practice, however, indefinite kernels arise e.g. from problem-specific kernel construction or optimized similarity measures. We, therefore, present formal extensions of some kernel discriminant analysis methods which can be used with indefinite kernels. In particular these are the multi-class kernel Fisher discriminant and the kernel Mahalanobis distance. The approaches are empirically evaluated in classification scenarios on indefinite multi-class datasets.

Subspace Learning in Krein Spaces: Complete Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis with Indefinite Kernels
Positive definite kernels, such as Gaussian Radial Basis Functions (GRBF), have been widely used in computer vision for designing feature extraction and classification algorithms. In many cases nonpositive definite (npd) kernels and non metric similarity/dissimilarity measures naturally arise (e.g., Hausdorff distance, Kullback Leibler Divergences and Compact Support (CS) Kernels). Hence, there...
متن کاملFisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis for Weather Data by reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces framework
Recently with science and technology development, data with functional nature are easy to collect. Hence, statistical analysis of such data is of great importance. Similar to multivariate analysis, linear combinations of random variables have a key role in functional analysis. The role of Theory of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces is very important in this content. In this paper we study a gen...
متن کاملProbabilistic classifiers with low rank indefinite kernels
Indefinite similarity measures can be frequently found in bio-informatics by means of alignment scores, but are also common in other fields like shape measures in image retrieval. Lacking an underlying vector space, the data are given as pairwise similarities only. The few algorithms available for such data do not scale to larger datasets. Focusing on probabilistic batch classifiers, the Indefi...
