Quadratic Perceptron Learning with Applications Tonghua Su National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing, PR China Dec 2, 2010
Outline • Introduction • Motivations • Quadratic Perceptron Algorithm • Previous works • Theory perspective • Practical perspective • Open issues • Conclusions
1 Introduction Notation, binary classification, multi-class classification, large scale learning vs large category learning
Introduction • Domain Set • Label Set • Training Data • Binary Classification • e.g. linear model
Introduction • Multi-class Classification • Learning strategy • One vs one • One vs all • Single machine • e.g. Linear model • Large-category classification • Chinese character recognition (3,755 classes) • More confusions between classes
Introduction • Large Scale Learning • large numbers of data points • high dimensions • Challenge in computation resource • Large Category vs Large Scale • Almost certainly: large category large scale • Tradeoffs: efficiency vs accuracy
2 Motivations MQDF HMMs
Modified Quadratic Discriminant Function (MQDF) • QDF • MQDF [Kimura et al ‘1987] • Using SVD, • Truncate small eigenvalues
Modified Quadratic Discriminant Function (MQDF) • MQDF+MCE+Synthetic samples [Chen et al ‘2010] • Building block: discriminative learning of MQDF
0.05 0.95 0.95 F L 0.05 S F F F L L F F E Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) • Markovian transition + state specific generator • Continuous density HMMs: each state emits a GMM • e.g. Usable in handwritten Chinese text recognition [Su ‘2007]
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) • Perceptron training of HMMs [Cheng et al ’2009] • Joint distribution • Discriminant function log p(s,x) • Perceptron training • Nonnegative-definite constraint • Lack of theoretical foundation
