Abstract
- Exponential discriminant analysis (EDA) is a generalized discriminant analysis method based on matrix exponential. It can essentially overcome the intrinsic difficulty of small-sample-size problem that exists in the classical linear discriminant analysis (LDA). However, for data with high dimensionality, one has to solve a large matrix exponential eigenproblem in this method, and the time complexity is dominated by the computation of exponential of large matrices. In this paper, we propose two inexact Krylov subspace algorithms for solving the large matrix exponential eigenproblem efficiently. The contribution of this work is threefold. First, we consider how to compute matrix exponential-vector products efficiently, which is the key step in the Krylov subspace method. Second, we compare the discriminant analysis criterion of EDA and that of LDA from a theoretical point of view. Third, we establish the relationship between the accuracy of the approximate eigenvectors and the distance to nearest neighbor classifier, and show why the matrix exponential eigenproblem can be solved approximately in practice. Numerical experiments on some real-world databases show the superiority of our new algorithms over their original counterpart for face recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
