Abstract

Dimension reduction is very important for applications in data mining and machine learning. Dependence maximization based supervised feature extraction (SDMFE) is an effective dimension reduction method proposed recently. A shortcoming of SDMFE is that it can only use labeled data, and does not work well when labeled data are limited. However, in many applications, it is a common case. In this paper, we propose a novel feature extraction method, called Semi-Supervised Dependence Maximization Feature Extraction (SSDMFE), which can utilize simultaneously both labeled and unlabeled data to perform feature extraction. The labeled data are used to maximize the dependence and the unlabeled data are used as regulations with respect to the intrinsic geometric structure of the data. Experiments on several datasets are presented and the results demonstrate that SSDMFE achieves much higher classification accuracy than SDMFE when the amount of labeled data are limited.
