Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm for nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR). Smoothing splines are used to map the locally-coordinatized data points into a single global coordinate system of lower dimensionality. In this work setting, we can achieve two goals. First, a global embedding is obtained by minimizing the low-dimensional coordinate reconstruction error. Second, the NLDR algorithm can be naturally extended to deal with out-of-sample data points. Experimental results illustrate the validity of our method.
