主 题:robust regression nonconvex loss face recognition
摘 要:Robust regression plays an important role in many machine learning problems.A primal approach relies on the use of Huber loss and an iteratively reweightedℓ2 ***,because the Huber loss is not smooth and its corresponding distribution cannot be represented as a Gaussian scale mixture,such an approach is extremely difficult to handle using a probabilistic *** address those limitations,this paper proposes two novel losses and the corresponding probability *** is called Soft Huber,which is well suited for modeling non-Gaussian *** is Nonconvex Huber,which can help produce much sparser results when imposed as a prior on regression *** can represent anyℓq loss(1/2≤q2)with tuning parameters,which makes the regression model more *** also show that both distributions have an elegant form,which is a Gaussian scale mixture with a generalized inverse Gaussian mixing *** enables us to devise an expectation maximization(EM)algorithm for solving the regression *** can obtain an adaptive weight through EM,which is very useful to remove noise data or irrelevant features in regression *** apply our model to the face recognition problem and show that it not only reduces the impact of noise pixels but also removes more irrelevant face *** experiments demonstrate the promising results on two datasets.
