Abstract

A new unsupervised method for linear projection of multidimensional data based on Linsker's principle of maximum information preservation is proposed. The Quadratic Mutual Information (QMI) between the input X and the output Y is estimated, assuming a linear mapping. This estimation is made using a non-parametric quadratic divergence measure, without any assumption of data distribution. The results show that the 2D projections obtained with the proposed method are better than PCA projections in terms of cluster separability.
