Kernel density estimation, a.k.a. Parzen windows, is a popular density estimation method, which can be used for outlier detection or clustering. With multivariate data, its performance is heavily reliant on the metric used within the kernel. Most earlier work has focused on learning only the bandwidth of the kernel (i.e., a scalar multiplicative factor). In this paper, we propose to learn a full Euclidean metric through an expectation-minimization (EM) procedure, which can be seen as an unsupervised counterpart to neighbourhood component analysis (NCA). In order to avoid overfitting with a fully nonparametric density estimator in high dimensions, we also consider a semi-parametric Gaussian-Parzen density model, where some of the variables are modelled through a jointly Gaussian density, while others are modelled through Parzen windows. For these two models, EM leads to simple closed-form updates based on matrix

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the most important methods to handle high dimensional data. However, most of the studies on PCA aim to minimize the loss after projection, which usually measures the Euclidean distance, though in some fiel
ds, angle distance is known to be more important and critical for analysis. In this paper, we propose a method by adding constraints on factors to unify the Euclidean distance and angle distance. However, due to the nonconvexity of the objective and constraints, the optimized solution is not easy to obtain. We propose an alternating linearized minimization method to solve it with provable convergence rate and guarantee. Experiments on synthetic data and real-world datasets have validated the effectiveness of our method and demonstrated its advantages over state-of-art clustering methods.
We consider the problem of principal component analysis from a data matrix where the entries of each column have undergone some unknown permutation, termed Unlabeled Principal Component Analysis (UPCA). Using algebraic geometry, we establish that for
generic enough data, and up to a permutation of the coordinates of the ambient space, there is a unique subspace of minimal dimension that explains the data. We show that a permutation-invariant system of polynomial equations has finitely many solutions, with each solution corresponding to a row permutation of the ground-truth data matrix. Allowing for missing entries on top of permutations leads to the problem of unlabeled matrix completion, for which we give theoretical results of similar flavor. We also propose a two-stage algorithmic pipeline for UPCA suitable for the practically relevant case where only a fraction of the data has been permuted. Stage-I of this pipeline employs robust-PCA methods to estimate the ground-truth column-space. Equipped with the column-space, stage-II applies methods for linear regression without correspondences to restore the permuted data. A computational study reveals encouraging findings, including the ability of UPCA to handle face images from the Extended Yale-B database with arbitrarily permuted patches of arbitrary size in $0.3$ seconds on a standard desktop computer.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been widely used for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction. Robust PCA (RPCA), under different robust distance metrics, such as l1-norm and l2, p-norm, can deal with noise or outliers to some extent. H
owever, real-world data may display structures that can not be fully captured by these simple functions. In addition, existing methods treat complex and simple samples equally. By contrast, a learning pattern typically adopted by human beings is to learn from simple to complex and less to more. Based on this principle, we propose a novel method called Self-paced PCA (SPCA) to further reduce the effect of noise and outliers. Notably, the complexity of each sample is calculated at the beginning of each iteration in order to integrate samples from simple to more complex into training. Based on an alternating optimization, SPCA finds an optimal projection matrix and filters out outliers iteratively. Theoretical analysis is presented to show the rationality of SPCA. Extensive experiments on popular data sets demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the state of-the-art results considerably.
We consider Fair Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) and search for a low dimensional subspace that spans multiple target vectors in a fair manner. FPCA is defined as a non-concave maximization of the worst projected target norm within a given set. T
he problem arises in filter design in signal processing, and when incorporating fairness into dimensionality reduction schemes. The state of the art approach to FPCA is via semidefinite relaxation and involves a polynomial yet computationally expensive optimization. To allow scalability, we propose to address FPCA using naive sub-gradient descent. We analyze the landscape of the underlying optimization in the case of orthogonal targets. We prove that the landscape is benign and that all local minima are globally optimal. Interestingly, the SDR approach leads to sub-optimal solutions in this simple case. Finally, we discuss the equivalence between orthogonal FPCA and the design of normalized tight frames.
Non-Gaussian component analysis (NGCA) is a problem in multidimensional data analysis which, since its formulation in 2006, has attracted considerable attention in statistics and machine learning. In this problem, we have a random variable $X$ in $n$
-dimensional Euclidean space. There is an unknown subspace $Gamma$ of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space such that the orthogonal projection of $X$ onto $Gamma$ is standard multidimensional Gaussian and the orthogonal projection of $X$ onto $Gamma^{perp}$, the orthogonal complement of $Gamma$, is non-Gaussian, in the sense that all its one-dimensional marginals are different from the Gaussian in a certain metric defined in terms of moments. The NGCA problem is to approximate the non-Gaussian subspace $Gamma^{perp}$ given samples of $X$. Vectors in $Gamma^{perp}$ correspond to `interesting directions, whereas vectors in $Gamma$ correspond to the directions where data is very noisy. The most interesting applications of the NGCA model is for the case when the magnitude of the noise is comparable to that of the true signal, a setting in which traditional noise reduction techniques such as PCA dont apply directly. NGCA is also related to dimension reduction and to other data analysis problems such as ICA. NGCA-like problems have been studied in statistics for a long time using techniques such as projection pursuit. We give an algorithm that takes polynomial time in the dimension $n$ and has an inverse polynomial dependence on the error parameter measuring the angle distance between the non-Gaussian subspace and the subspace output by the algorithm. Our algorithm is based on relative entropy as the contrast function and fits under the projection pursuit framework. The techniques we develop for analyzing our algorithm maybe of use for other related problems.
