Coordonnateurs : Bingham Ella, Kaski Samuel, Laaksonen Jorma, Lampinen Jouko
In honour of Professor Erkki Oja, one of the pioneers of Independent Component Analysis (ICA), this book reviews key advances in the theory and application of ICA, as well as its influence on signal processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, and data mining.
Examples of topics which have developed from the advances of ICA, which are covered in the book are:
- A unifying probabilistic model for PCA and ICA
- Optimization methods for matrix decompositions
- Insights into the FastICA algorithm
- Unsupervised deep learning
- Machine vision and image retrieval
Part 1: Methods 1. The Initial Convergence Rate of the FastICA Algorithm: The "One-Third Rule" 2. Improved variants of the FastICA algorithm 3. A unified probabilistic model for independent and principal component analysis 4. Riemannian optimization in complex-valued ICA 5. Non-Additive Optimization 6. Image denoising via local factor analysis under Bayesian Ying-Yang principle 7. Unsupervised Deep Learning: A Short Review 8. From Neural PCA to Deep Unsupervised Learning
Part 2: Applications 9. Two Decades of Local Binary Patterns – A Survey 10. Subspace approach in Spectral Color Science 11. From pattern recognition methods to machine vision applications 12. Advances in Visual Concept Detection: Ten Years of TRECVID 13. On the applicability of latent variable modeling to research system data
University and industry researchers applying independent component analysis in the fields of pattern recognition, signal and image processing, medical imaging and telecommunications.
