Local Background Estimation for Improved Gas Plume Identification in Hyperspectral Images

no code implementations23 Jan 2024 Scout Jarman, Zigfried Hampel-Arias, Adra Carr, Kevin R. Moon

Deep learning identification models have shown promise for identifying gas plumes in Longwave IR hyperspectral images of urban scenes, particularly when a large library of gases are being considered.

Manifold Alignment with Label Information

no code implementations23 Oct 2022 Andres F. Duque, Myriam Lizotte, Guy Wolf, Kevin R. Moon

With this in mind, we present a novel manifold alignment method called MALI (Manifold alignment with label information) that learns a correspondence between two distinct domains.

Diffusion Transport Alignment

no code implementations15 Jun 2022 Andres F. Duque, Guy Wolf, Kevin R. Moon

The integration of multimodal data presents a challenge in cases when the study of a given phenomena by different instruments or conditions generates distinct but related domains.

Geometry- and Accuracy-Preserving Random Forest Proximities

3 code implementations29 Jan 2022 Jake S. Rhodes, Adele Cutler, Kevin R. Moon

Random forests are considered one of the best out-of-the-box classification and regression algorithms due to their high level of predictive performance with relatively little tuning.

GPS-Denied Navigation Using SAR Images and Neural Networks

no code implementations22 Oct 2020 Teresa White, Jesse Wheeler, Colton Lindstrom, Randall Christensen, Kevin R. Moon

This paper presents a method for determining the navigation errors present at the beginning of a GPS-denied period utilizing data from a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system.

Extendable and invertible manifold learning with geometry regularized autoencoders

no code implementations14 Jul 2020 Andrés F. Duque, Sacha Morin, Guy Wolf, Kevin R. Moon

Our regularization, based on the diffusion potential distances from the recently-proposed PHATE visualization method, encourages the learned latent representation to follow intrinsic data geometry, similar to manifold learning algorithms, while still enabling faithful extension to new data and reconstruction of data in the original feature space from latent coordinates.

Supervised Visualization for Data Exploration

no code implementations15 Jun 2020 Jake S. Rhodes, Adele Cutler, Guy Wolf, Kevin R. Moon

We show, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the advantages of our approach in retaining local and global structures in data, while emphasizing important variables in the low-dimensional embedding.

Visualizing High Dimensional Dynamical Processes

no code implementations25 Jun 2019 Andrés F. Duque, Guy Wolf, Kevin R. Moon

Manifold learning techniques for dynamical systems and time series have shown their utility for a broad spectrum of applications in recent years.

Convergence Rates for Empirical Estimation of Binary Classification Bounds

no code implementations1 Oct 2018 Salimeh Yasaei Sekeh, Morteza Noshad, Kevin R. Moon, Alfred O. Hero

We derive a bound on the convergence rate for the Friedman-Rafsky (FR) estimator of the HP-divergence, which is related to a multivariate runs statistic for testing between two distributions.

Modeling Dynamics of Biological Systems with Deep Generative Neural Networks

no code implementations27 Sep 2018 Scott Gigante, David van Dijk, Kevin R. Moon, Alexander Strzalkowski, Katie Ferguson, Guy Wolf, Smita Krishnaswamy

DyMoN is well-suited to the idiosyncrasies of biological data, including noise, sparsity, and the lack of longitudinal measurements in many types of systems.

Direct Estimation of Information Divergence Using Nearest Neighbor Ratios

no code implementations17 Feb 2017 Morteza Noshad, Kevin R. Moon, Salimeh Yasaei Sekeh, Alfred O. Hero III

Considering the $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$-NN) graph of $Y$ in the joint data set $(X, Y)$, we show that the average powered ratio of the number of $X$ points to the number of $Y$ points among all $k$-NN points is proportional to R\'{e}nyi divergence of $X$ and $Y$ densities.

Information Theoretic Structure Learning with Confidence

no code implementations13 Sep 2016 Kevin R. Moon, Morteza Noshad, Salimeh Yasaei Sekeh, Alfred O. Hero III

Information theoretic measures (e. g. the Kullback Liebler divergence and Shannon mutual information) have been used for exploring possibly nonlinear multivariate dependencies in high dimension.

Meta learning of bounds on the Bayes classifier error

no code implementations27 Apr 2015 Kevin R. Moon, Veronique Delouille, Alfred O. Hero III

For example, the Bayes error rate of a given feature space, if known, can be used to aid in choosing a classifier, as well as in feature selection and model selection for the base classifiers and the meta classifier.

Image patch analysis of sunspots and active regions. II. Clustering via matrix factorization

no code implementations10 Apr 2015 Kevin R. Moon, Veronique Delouille, Jimmy J. Li, Ruben De Visscher, Fraser Watson, Alfred O. Hero III

We also find that including data focused on the neutral line of an active region can result in an increased correspondence between our clustering results and other active region descriptors such as the Mount Wilson classifications and the $R$ value.

Multivariate f-Divergence Estimation With Confidence

no code implementations7 Nov 2014 Kevin R. Moon, Alfred O. Hero III

The problem of f-divergence estimation is important in the fields of machine learning, information theory, and statistics.
