CStochasticProximityEmbedding Class Reference

Detailed Description

class StochasticProximityEmbedding used to construct embeddings of data using the Stochastic Proximity algorithm.

Agrafiotis, D. K. (2002) Stochastic Proximity Embedding Retrieved from: http://www.dimitris-agrafiotis.com/Papers/jcc20078.pdf

This class provides two different strategies for the computation of the embedding. In each iteration, both strategies choose two sets of feature vectors whose representation in the embedded space is updated. The first set is randomly chosen in both strategies. However, the second set is obtained differently depending on the strategy used. In the SPE_GLOBAL strategy, the second set is still chosen at random. On the other hand, if SPE_LOCAL is used, first of all, the K-Nearest Neighbors of each of the feature vectors in the first set is obtained and secondly, a number of feature vectors among these K-Nearest Neighbors is chosen to form the second set.

The parameter K for K-Nearest Neighbors in SPE_LOCAL corresponds to the class member "m_k". Each of the two sets used on every iteration is formed by "m_nupdates" feature vectors. Therefore, the number of feature vectors given must be always at least two times the value of "m_nupdates".

In order to avoid problems with memory in case a large number of features vectors is to be embedded, the distance matrix is never computed explicitily. This has the drawback that it is likely that the same distances are computed several times during the process.

Uses implementation from the Tapkee library.

Only CEuclideanDistance distance is supported for the moment.
