【内容简介】

This talk will report our recent work on learning and designing covariance and generic symmetric positive definite matrices to achieve better recognition. The first part of this talk presents a method called discriminative Stein kernel. It integrates class label information into the Stein kernel to adjust input covariance matrices to enhance its discriminative capability. The second part explores the sparsity structure among features to compute sparse inverse covariance matrix as representation, achieving better recognition performance in the case of high-dimensional features but small sample. The third part moves beyond covariance matrix to employ kernel matrix as feature representation, and jointly learn it in deep learning framework via an end-to-end manner.
