Boundary detection algorithm inspired by locally linear embedding

From MaRDI portal





Locally linear embedding (LLE) is an unsupervised learning algorithm that computes low-dimensional, neighborhood-preserving embeddings of high-dimensional inputs. LLE maps its inputs into a single global coordinate system of lower dimensionality. In the second section of the article, some basics on the (LLE) technique are provided. For details, see [\textit{S. T. Rowels} and \textit{I. K. Saul}, Science 290, No. 5500, 2323--2326 (2000; \url{doi:10.1126/science.290.5500.2323}).\N\NLLE has been widely applied in data science. The present paper is devoted to the problem of identification of boundary points from samples on an embedded compact manifold with boundary. Inspired by the LLE technique, a new algorithm is developed, the Boundary Detection algorithm (BD-LLE) which uses barycentric coordinates and can be implemented using either an \( \epsilon\)-radius ball scheme or a KNN scheme.\N\NThe architecture of the Boundary Detection algorithm is described in the third section. The model of a manifold with boundary is introduced and the steps of the BD-LLE algorithm are shown. These include the construction of a boundary indicator (BI), its relation to the local covariance matrix, the selection of the regularizer and selection of the scale parameters. For details see the SM1- and SM2-parts of the Supplementary Material. The theoretical analysis of the local covariance matrix in the KNN scheme and of the boundary indicator in the \(\epsilon\)-radius ball scheme as well as in the KNN scheme are done in the fourth section of the article. One reports that the proofs of all results are to be found in the SM3 and SM4 -- parts of the Supplementary Material. Numerical results on performances of BD-LLE algorithm are summarized in the fifth section. One reports that details and discussions are summarized in the SM5 section of the Supplementary Material. Boundary detection on noisy data is developed in the sixth section of the article; one mentions that more details and a review of the diffusion maps (DM) algorithm are to be found in the SM6-part of the Supplementary Material. For general discussions and future work, section seven of the article is reserved.
