Title
Learning dimensionality-reduced classifiers for information fusion
Abstract
The fusion of multimodal sensor informa- tion often requires learning decision rules from sam- ples of high-dimensional data. Each data dimension may only be weakly informative for the detection prob- lem of interest. Also, it is not known a priori which components combine to form a lower-dimensional fea- ture space that is most informative. To learn both the combination of dimensions and the decision rule specified in the reduced-dimensional space together, we jointly optimize the linear dimensionality reduction and margin-based supervised classification problems, repre- senting dimensionality reduction by matrices on the Stiefel manifold. We describe how the learning proce- dure and resulting decision rule can be implemented in parallel, serial, and tree-structured fusion networks.
