Isometric Multi-Manifolds Learning
share
Isometric feature mapping (Isomap) is a promising manifold learning method. However, Isomap fails to work on data which distribute on clusters in a single manifold or manifolds. Many works have been done on extending Isomap to multi-manifolds learning. In this paper, we first proposed a new multi-manifolds learning algorithm (M-Isomap) with help of a general procedure. The new algorithm preserves intra-manifold geodesics and multiple inter-manifolds edges precisely. Compared with previous methods, this algorithm can isometrically learn data distributed on several manifolds. Secondly, the original multi-cluster manifold learning algorithm first proposed in DCIsomap and called D-C Isomap has been revised so that the revised D-C Isomap can learn multi-manifolds data. Finally, the features and effectiveness of the proposed multi-manifolds learning algorithms are demonstrated and compared through experiments.
