  • face recognition using independent component analysis and support vector machines
    Pattern Recognition Letters, 2003
    Co-Authors: Oscar Deniz, Modesto Castrillon, Mario Hernandez
    Abstract:

    Support vector machines (SVM) and independent component analysis (ICA) are two powerful and relatively recent techniques. SVMs are classifiers which have demonstrated high generalization capabilities in many different tasks, including the object recognition problem. ICA is a feature extraction technique which can be considered a generalization of principal component analysis (PCA). ICA has been mainly used on the problem of blind signal separation. In this paper we combine these two techniques for the face recognition problem. Experiments were made on two different face databases, achieving very high recognition rates. As the results using the combination PCA/SVM were not very far from those obtained with ICA/SVM, our experiments suggest that SVMs are relatively insensitive to the representation space. Thus as the training time for ICA is much larger than that of PCA, this result indicates that the best practical combination is PCA with SVM.

  • a comparison of PCA kPCA and ica for dimensionality reduction in support vector machine
    Neurocomputing, 2003
    Co-Authors: Kok Seng Chua, W K Chong, Q M Gu
    Abstract:

    Abstract Recently, support vector machine (SVM) has become a popular tool in time series forecasting. In developing a successful SVM forecastor, the first step is feature extraction. This paper proposes the applications of principal component analysis (PCA), kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) to SVM for feature extraction. PCA linearly transforms the original inputs into new uncorrelated features. KPCA is a nonlinear PCA developed by using the kernel method. In ICA, the original inputs are linearly transformed into features which are mutually statistically independent. By examining the sunspot data, Santa Fe data set A and five real futures contracts, the experiment shows that SVM by feature extraction using PCA, KPCA or ICA can perform better than that without feature extraction. Furthermore, among the three methods, there is the best performance in KPCA feature extraction, followed by ICA feature extraction.

  • Uncorrelated Multilinear Principal Component Analysis for Unsupervised Multilinear Subspace Learning
    IEEE transactions on neural networks, 2009
    Co-Authors: Konstantinos N. Plataniotis, Anastasios N. Venetsanopoulos
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes an uncorrelated multilinear principal component analysis (UMPCA) algorithm for unsupervised subspace learning of tensorial data. It should be viewed as a multilinear extension of the classical principal component analysis (PCA) framework. Through successive variance maximization, UMPCA seeks a tensor-to-vector projection (TVP) that captures most of the variation in the original tensorial input while producing uncorrelated features. The solution consists of sequential iterative steps based on the alternating projection method. In addition to deriving the UMPCA framework, this work offers a way to systematically determine the maximum number of uncorrelated multilinear features that can be extracted by the method. UMPCA is compared against the baseline PCA solution and its five state-of-the-art multilinear extensions, namely two-dimensional PCA (2DPCA), concurrent subspaces analysis (CSA), tensor rank-one decomposition (TROD), generalized PCA (GPCA), and multilinear PCA (MPCA), on the tasks of unsupervised face and gait recognition. Experimental results included in this paper suggest that UMPCA is particularly effective in determining the low-dimensional projection space needed in such recognition tasks.

  • principal component analysis or kernel principal component analysis based joint spectral subspace method for calibration transfer
    Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2020
    Co-Authors: Peng Shan, Yuhui Zhao, Qiaoyun Wang, Yao Ying, Silong Peng
    Abstract:

    Abstract To transfer a calibration model in the case where only the master and slave spectra of standardization samples are available, principal component analysis (PCA) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) based joint spectral space (termed as JPCA or JKPCA) methods are proposed. As a feature subspace shared by master and slave spectra, the joint spectral subspace in JPCA and JKPCA are the projection of the joint spectral matrix comprising all the spectra of standardization by utilizing PCA and KPCA, respectively. The two corresponding low-dimensional feature matrices for master and slave spectra are extracted from the joint spectral subspace, and then a transfer matrix is estimated based on the least square criterion. In JKPCA, a partial least squares (PLS) model, named the primary model, is constructed using the low-dimensional feature matrix of master calibration spectra, and the model is then used to predict the transferred low-dimensional feature matrix of slave test spectra. Different from JKPCA, JPCA firstly reconstructs master calibration spectra and transferred slave test spectra, respectively. Then the primary model built on the reconstructed version of master calibration spectra is applied to predict the reconstructed version of transferred slave test spectra. A comparative study of the two proposed methods, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), orthogonal signal correction (OSC), piecewise direct standardization (PDS), canonical correlation analysis based calibration transfer (CCACT), generalized least squares (GLS), slope and bias correction (SBC) and spectral space transformation (SST) is conducted on two datasets. All the statistical results together exhibit that the transfer ability of JKPCA is the best. Except JKPCA, JPCA performs at least comparable with the GLS or SST, and frequently better than the other methods.
