Latent common manifold learning with alternating diffusion: analysis and applications

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The analysis of data sets arising from multiple sensors has drawn significant research attention over the years. Traditional methods, including kernel-based methods, are typically incapable of capturing nonlinear geometric structures. We introduce a latent common manifold model underlying multiple sensor observations for the purpose of multimodal data fusion. A method based on alternating diffusion is presented and analyzed; we provide theoretical analysis of the method under the latent common manifold model. To exemplify the power of the proposed framework, experimental results in several applications are reported.


The article proposes a mathematical model based on alternating diffusion that is extended to more than two sensors. The model captures the nonlinear manifold structure by preserving both the geometrical and topological structures, it does not reply on prior knowledge and it can integrate subtle patterns of the data and even multiple data sets that contain complementary information. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated and validated on several applications, from toy problems to complex tasks.
