报告题目：Deep PCA: A methodology of feature extraction and dimension reduction for high-order data

内容简介：Facing with rapidly-increasing demands for analyzing high-order data or multiway data, feature-extracting methods become imperative for analysis and processing. The traditional feature-extracting methods, however, either need to overly vectorize the data and smash the original structure hidden in data, such as PCA and PCA-like methods, which is unfavourable to the data recovery, or can not eliminate the redundant information very well, such as Tucker Decomposition (TD) and TD-like methods. To overcome these limitations, we propose a more flexible and more powerful tool, called the Deep Principal Components Analysis (Deep-PCA) in this paper. By segmenting a random tensor into equal-sized subarrays named \textit{sections} and maximizing variations caused by orthogonal projections of these \textit{sections}, the Deep-PCA finds principal components in a parsimonious and flexible way. In so doing, two new operations on tensors, the $S$-\textit{direction inner/outer product}, are introduced to formulate tensor projection and recovery. With different segmentation ways characterized by \textit{section depth} and \textit{direction}, the Deep-PCA can be implemented many times in different ways, which defines the sequential and global Deep-PCA respectively. These multiple Deep-PCA take the PCA and PCA-like, Tucker Decomposition and the TD-like as the special cases, which corresponds to the deepest section-depth and the shallowest section depth respectively. We propose an adaptive depth and direction selection algorithm for implementation of Deep-PCA. The Deep-PCA is then tested in terms of subspace recovery ability, compression ability and feature extraction performance when applied to a set of artificial data, surveillance videos and hyperspectral imaging data. All the tests support the flexibility, effectiveness and usefulness of Deep-PCA.
