Tensor-based Nonlinear Classifier for High-Order Data Analysis
share
In this paper we propose a tensor-based nonlinear model for high-order data classification. The advantages of the proposed scheme are that (i) it significantly reduces the number of weight parameters, and hence of required training samples, and (ii) it retains the spatial structure of the input samples. The proposed model, called Rank-1 FNN, is based on a modification of a feedforward neural network (FNN), such that its weights satisfy the rank-1 canonical decomposition. We also introduce a new learning algorithm to train the model, and we evaluate the Rank-1 FNN on third-order hyperspectral data. Experimental results and comparisons indicate that the proposed model outperforms state of the art classification methods, including deep learning based ones, especially in cases with small numbers of available training samples.
