Supervised dimensionality reduction via distance correlation maximization

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In our work, we propose a novel formulation for supervised dimensionality reduction based on a nonlinear dependency criterion called Statistical Distance Correlation, Szekely et. al. (2007). We propose an objective which is free of distributional assumptions on regression variables and regression model assumptions. Our proposed formulation is based on learning a low-dimensional feature representation mathbfz, which maximizes the squared sum of Distance Correlations between low dimensional features mathbfz and response y, and also between features mathbfz and covariates mathbfx. We propose a novel algorithm to optimize our proposed objective using the Generalized Minimization Maximizaiton method of Parizi et. al. (2015). We show superior empirical results on multiple datasets proving the effectiveness of our proposed approach over several relevant state-of-the-art supervised dimensionality reduction methods.
