In this paper we investigate the usage of regularized correntropy framework for learning of classifiers from noisy labels. The class label predictors learned by minimizing transitional loss functions are sensitive to the noisy and outlying labels of training samples, because the transitional loss functions are equally applied to all the samples. To solve this problem, we propose to learn the class label predictors by maximizing the correntropy between the predicted labels and the true labels of the training samples, under the regularized Maximum Correntropy Criteria (MCC) framework. Moreover, we regularize the predictor parameter to control the complexity of the predictor. The learning problem is formulated by an objective function considering the parameter regularization and MCC simultaneously. By optimizing the objective function alternately, we develop a novel predictor learning algorithm. The experiments on two chal- lenging pattern classification tasks show that it significantly outperforms the machines with transitional loss functions.

The unscented transformation (UT) is an efficient method to solve the state estimation problem for a non-linear dynamic system, utilizing a derivative-free higher-order approximation by approximating a Gaussian distribution rather than approximating a non-linear function. Applying the UT to a Kalman filter type estimator leads to the well-known unscented Kalman filter (UKF). Although the UKF works very well in Gaussian noises, its performance may deteriorate significantly when the noises are non-Gaussian, especially when the system is disturbed by some heavy-tailed impulsive noises. To improve the robustness of the UKF against impulsive noises, a new filter for nonlinear systems is proposed in this work, namely the maximum correntropy unscented filter (MCUF). In MCUF, the UT is applied to obtain the prior estimates of the state and covariance matrix, and a robust statistical linearization regression based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) is then used to obtain the posterior estimates of the state and covariance. The satisfying performance of the new algorithm is confirmed by two illustrative examples.
In this paper, a novel pattern classification approach is proposed by regularizing the classifier learning to maximize mutual information between the classification response and the true class label. We argue that, with the learned classifier, the un certainty of the true class label of a data sample should be reduced by knowing its classification response as much as possible. The reduced uncertainty is measured by the mutual information between the classification response and the true class label. To this end, when learning a linear classifier, we propose to maximize the mutual information between classification responses and true class labels of training samples, besides minimizing the classification error and reduc- ing the classifier complexity. An objective function is constructed by modeling mutual information with entropy estimation, and it is optimized by a gradi- ent descend method in an iterative algorithm. Experiments on two real world pattern classification problems show the significant improvements achieved by maximum mutual information regularization.
Principal component analysis (PCA) is recognised as a quintessential data analysis technique when it comes to describing linear relationships between the features of a dataset. However, the well-known sensitivity of PCA to non-Gaussian samples and/or outliers often makes it unreliable in practice. To this end, a robust formulation of PCA is derived based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) so as to maximise the expected likelihood of Gaussian distributed reconstruction errors. In this way, the proposed solution reduces to a generalised power iteration, whereby: (i) robust estimates of the principal components are obtained even in the presence of outliers; (ii) the number of principal components need not be specified in advance; and (iii) the entire set of principal components can be obtained, unlike existing approaches. The advantages of the proposed maximum correntropy power iteration (MCPI) are demonstrated through an intuitive numerical example.
In a single-agent setting, reinforcement learning (RL) tasks can be cast into an inference problem by introducing a binary random variable o, which stands for the optimality. In this paper, we redefine the binary random variable o in multi-agent sett ing and formalize multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) as probabilistic inference. We derive a variational lower bound of the likelihood of achieving the optimality and name it as Regularized Opponent Model with Maximum Entropy Objective (ROMMEO). From ROMMEO, we present a novel perspective on opponent modeling and show how it can improve the performance of training agents theoretically and empirically in cooperative games. To optimize ROMMEO, we first introduce a tabular Q-iteration method ROMMEO-Q with proof of convergence. We extend the exact algorithm to complex environments by proposing an approximate version, ROMMEO-AC. We evaluate these two algorithms on the challenging iterated matrix game and differential game respectively and show that they can outperform strong MARL baselines.
This work proposes a resilient and adaptive state estimation framework for robots operating in perceptually-degraded environments. The approach, called Adaptive Maximum Correntropy Criterion Kalman Filtering (AMCCKF), is inherently robust to corrupte d measurements, such as those containing jumps or general non-Gaussian noise, and is able to modify filter parameters online to improve performance. Two separate methods are developed -- the Variational Bayesian AMCCKF (VB-AMCCKF) and Residual AMCCKF (R-AMCCKF) -- that modify the process and measurement noise models in addition to the bandwidth of the kernel function used in MCCKF based on the quality of measurements received. The two approaches differ in computational complexity and overall performance which is experimentally analyzed. The method is demonstrated in real experiments on both aerial and ground robots and is part of the solution used by the COSTAR team participating at the DARPA Subterranean Challenge.
