Dissimilarity representation plays a very important role in pattern recognition due to its ability to capture structural and relational information between samples. Dissimilarity space embedding is an approach in which each sample is represented as a vector based on its dissimilarity to some other samples called prototypes. However, lack of neighborhood-preserving, fixed and usually considerable prototype set for all training samples cause low classification accuracy and high computational complexity. To address these challenges, our proposed method creates dissimilarity space considering the neighbors of each data point on the manifold. For this purpose, Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) is used as an unsupervised manifold learning algorithm. The only goal of this step is to learn the global structure and the neighborhood of data on the manifold and mapping or dimension reduction is not performed. In order to create the dissimilarity space, each sample is compared only with its prototype set including its k-nearest neighbors on the manifold using the geodesic distance metric. Geodesic distance metric is used for the structure preserving and is computed using the weighted LLE neighborhood graph. Finally, Latent Space Model (LSM), is applied to reduce the dimensions of the Euclidean latent space so that the second challenge is resolved. To evaluate the resulted representation ad so called dissimilarity space, two common classifiers namely K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are applied. Experiments on different datasets which included both Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces, demonstrate that using the proposed approach, classifiers outperform the other basic dissimilarity spaces in both accuracy and runtime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
