A Generally Semisupervised Dimensionality Reduction Method with Local and Global Regression Regularizations for Recognition
The insufficiency of labeled data is an important problem in image classification such as face recognition. However, unlabeled data are abundant in the real-world application. Therefore, semisupervised learning methods, which corporate a few labeled data and a large number of unlabeled data into learning, have received more and more attention in the field of face recognition. During the past years, graph-based semisupervised learning has been becoming a popular topic in the area of semisupervised learning. In this chapter, we newly present graph-based semisupervised learning method for face recognition. The presented method is based on local and global regression regularization. The local regression regularization has adopted a set of local classification functions to preserve both local discriminative and geometrical information, as well as to reduce the bias of outliers and handle imbalanced data; while the global regression regularization is to preserve the global discriminative information and to calculate the projection matrix for out-of-sample extrapolation. Extensive simulations based on synthetic and real-world datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
