Kun Li, Yongsheng Qian, Dejie Xu, Junwei Zeng, Min Wang, Jijing Zhang · International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Tools · 2015
In this paper, we present a convex discriminant analysis formulation, which is extended to solve multi-label classification problems. The original Linear Discriminant Analysis energy optimization function is turned into another form as a convex formulation (namely, convex Approximate LDA, denoted as “convexALDA” for short) using the generalized eigen-decomposition. We give applications by incorporating convexALDA as a regularizer into discriminant regression analysis. Extensive experimental results on multi-label classification tasks and an extensive application scenario on communication characteristics of imperial examination system are provided. In this way we have a brand-new comprehension for it, and a new idea and method was also put forward for studying the system.
