Abstract
- Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is one of the most successful supervised dimensionality reduction methods and has been widely used in many real-world applications. However, ℓ<subscript>2</subscript>-norm is employed as the distance metric in the objective of LDA, which is sensitive to outliers. Many previous works improve the robustness of LDA by using ℓ<subscript>1</subscript>-norm distance. However, the robustness against outliers is limited and the solver of ℓ<subscript>1</subscript>-norm is mostly based on the greedy search strategy, which is time-consuming and easy to get stuck in a local optimum. In this paper, we propose a novel robust LDA measured by ℓ<subscript>2,1</subscript>-norm to learn robust discriminative projections. The proposed model is challenging to solve since it needs to minimize and maximize (minmax) ℓ<subscript>2,1</subscript>-norm terms simultaneously. As a result, we first systematically derive an efficient iterative optimization algorithm to solve a general ratio minimization problem, and then rigorously prove its convergence. More importantly, an alternately non-greedy iterative re-weighted optimization algorithm is developed based on the preceding approach for solving proposed ℓ<subscript>2,1</subscript>-norm minmax problem. Besides, an optimal weighted mean mechanism is driven according to the designed objective and solver, which can be applied to other approaches for robustness improvement. Experimental results on several real-world datasets show the effectiveness of proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
