Title
Local CCA alignment and its applications
Abstract
Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a well-known technique for finding the correlations between two sets of multi-dimensional variables. It projects both sets of variables into a lower-dimensional space in which they are maximally correlated. One popular use of CCA is for dimensionality reduction. CCA can be regarded as a linear subspace approach for one view of an object set (e.g. X) which is directed by another view of the object set (e.g. Y). However, if the correlations between X and Y are nonlinear, CCA may fail to reveal the latent structures of X. In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithm, called local canonical correlation analysis alignment (LCCA). In LCCA, CCA is implemented on patches of an object set to get the local low-dimensional coordinates of X"p (X"p is a patch of X), then the local coordinates are aligned to obtain the global low-dimensional embeddings of X. Furthermore, in order to solve out-of-sample problems, a linear version of LCCA (LLCCA) algorithm is also developed. Different from LCCA, LLCCA is not only suitable for training samples but also for testing samples. Experiments for data visualization and pose estimation show that LCCA and LLCCA are superior to the related algorithms.
