Abstract

A new approach of constructing the similarity matrix for eigendecomposition on graph Laplacians is proposed. We first connect the Locality Preserving Projection method to probability density derivatives, which are then replaced by informative score vectors. This change yields a normalization factor and increases the contribution of the data pairs in low-density regions. The proposed method can be applied to both unsupervised and supervised learning. Empirical study on facial images is provided. The experiment results demonstrate that our method is advantageous for discovering statistical patterns in sparse data areas.
