基于低秩表示的鲁棒判别特征子空间学习模型

特征子空间学习是图像识别及分类任务的关键技术之一，传统的特征子空间学习模型面临两个主要的问题。一方面是如何使样本在投影到特征空间后有效地保持其局部结构和判别性。另一方面是当样本含噪时传统学习模型所发生的失效问题。针对上述两个问题，该文提出一种基于低秩表示(LRR)的判别特征子空间学习模型，该模型的主要贡献包括:通过低秩表示探究样本的局部结构，并利用表示系数作为样本在投影空间的相似性约束，使投影子空间能够更好地保持样本的局部近邻关系；为提高模型的抗噪能力，构造了一种利用低秩重构样本的判别特征学习约束项，同时增强模型的判别性和鲁棒性；设计了一种基于交替优化技术的迭代数值求解方案来保证算法的收敛性。该文在多个视觉数据集上进行分类任务的对比实验，实验结果表明所提算法在分类准确度和鲁棒性方面均优于传统特征学习方法。

Robust Discriminative Feature Subspace Learning Based on Low Rank Representation

Feature subspace learning is a critical technique in image recognition and classification tasks. Conventional feature subspace learning methods include two main problems. One is how to preserve the local structures and discrimination when the samples are projected into the learned subspace. The other hand when the data are corrupted with noise, the conventional learning models usually do not work well. To solve the two problems, a discriminative feature learning method is proposed based on Low Rank Representation (LRR). The novel method includes three main contributions. It explores the local structures among samples via low rank representation, and the representation coefficients are used as the similarity measurement to preserve the local neighborhood existed in the samples; To improve the anti-noise performance, a discriminative learning item is constructed from the recovered samples via low rank representation, which can enhance the discrimination and robustness simultaneously; An iterative numerical scheme is developed with alternating optimization, and the convergence can be guaranteed effectively. Extensive experimental results on several visual datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms conventional feature learning methods on both of accuracy and robustness.
