About: In this paper, we propose an improved principal component analysis based on maximum entropy (MaxEnt) preservation, called MaxEnt-PCA, which is derived from a Parzen window estimation of Renyi’s quadratic entropy. Instead of minimizing the reconstruction error either based on L2-norm or L1-norm, the MaxEnt-PCA attempts to preserve as much as possible the uncertainty information of the data measured by entropy. The optimal solution of MaxEnt-PCA consists of the eigenvectors of a Laplacian probability matrix corresponding to the MaxEnt distribution. MaxEnt-PCA (1) is rotation invariant, (2) is free from any distribution assumption, and (3) is robust to outliers. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed linear method as compared to other related robust PCA methods. Changes:Initial Announcement on mloss.org.

About: OpenPR-NBEM is an C++ implementation of Naive Bayes Classifier, which is a well-known generative classification algorithm for the application such as text classification. The Naive Bayes algorithm requires the probabilistic distribution to be discrete. OpenPR-NBEM uses the multinomial event model for representation. The maximum likelihood estimate is used for supervised learning, and the expectation-maximization estimate is used for semi-supervised and un-supervised learning.

About: This program implements a novel robust sparse representation method, called the two-stage sparse representation (TSR), for robust recognition on a large-scale database. Based on the divide and conquer strategy, TSR divides the procedure of robust recognition into outlier detection stage and recognition stage. The extensive numerical experiments on several public databases demonstrate that the proposed TSR approach generally obtains better classification accuracy than the state-of-the-art Sparse Representation Classification (SRC). At the same time, by using the TSR, a significant reduction of computational cost is reached by over fifty times in comparison with the SRC, which enables the TSR to be deployed more suitably for large-scale dataset.

About: This is a implementation of the classic P3P(Perspective 3-Points) algorithm problem solution in the Ransac paper "M. A. Fischler, R. C. Bolles. Random Sample Consensus: A Paradigm for Model Fitting with Applications to Image Analysis and Automated Cartography. Comm. of the ACM, Vol 24, pp 381-395, 1981.". The algorithm gives the four probable solutions of the P3P problem in about 0.1ms, and can be used as input of the consequent RANSAC step. The codes needs the numerics library VNL which is a part of the widely used computer vision library VXL. One can download & install it from http://vxl.sourceforge.net/.

About: It's a C++ program for symmetric matrix diagonalization, inversion and principal component anlaysis(PCA). The matrix diagonalization function can also be applied to the computation of singular value decomposition (SVD), Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) and kernel PCA (KPCA) if forming the symmetric matrix appropriately.

About: This program is a C++ implementation of Linear Discriminant Function Classifier. Discriminant functions such as perceptron criterion, cross entropy (CE) criterion, and least mean square (LMS) criterion (all for multi-class classification problems) are supported in it. The program uses a sparse-data structure to represent the feature vector to seek higher computational speed. Some other techniques such as online updating, weights averaging, gaussian prior regularization are also supported. Changes:Initial Announcement on mloss.org.

About: This program is a C++ implementation of Naive Bayes Classifier, which is a well-known generative classification algorithm for the application such as text classification. The Naive Bayes algorithm requires the probabilistic distribution to be discrete. The program uses the multinomial event model for representation, the maximum likelihood estimate with a Laplace smoothing technique for learning parameters.

About: Mean-Shift (MS) is a powerful non-parametric clustering method. Although good accuracy can be achieved, its computational cost is particularly expensive even on moderate data sets. For the purpose of algorithm speedup, an agglomerative MS clustering method called Agglo-MS was developed, along with its mode-seeking ability and convergence property analysis. The method is built upon an iterative query set compression mechanism which is motivated by the quadratic bounding optimization nature of MS. The whole framework can be efficiently implemented in linear running time complexity. Changes:Initial Announcement on mloss.org.
