Feature Integration Via Geometrical Supervised Multi-View Multi-Label Canonical Correlation For Incomplete Label Assignment

This paper presents feature integration via geometrical supervised multi-view multi-label canonical correlation analysis (GSM2CCA) for incomplete label assignment. The problem of incomplete labels is frequently encountered in the multi-label classification problem where the training labels are obtained via crowd-sourcing. In such a situation, consideration of only the label correlation, which is the basic approach, is not suitable for improvement of representation ability of features. For dealing with the incomplete label assignment, GSM2CCA constructs effective feature embedding space providing the discriminant ability by introducing both the multi-label correlation and feature similarity of the original feature space into its objective function. Since novel integrated features with high discriminant ability can be calculated by our GSM2CCA, performance improvement of multi-label classification with the incomplete label assignment is realized. The main contribution of this paper is the realization of the effective feature integration via the adoption of the combination use of label similarity and locality preserving projection of heterogeneous features for solving the problem of the incomplete label assignment. The effectiveness of GSM2CCA by applying GSM2CCA-based feature integration to heterogeneous features calculated from various convolutional neural network models is verified via experimental results.
