Overfitting in linear feature extraction for classification of high-dimensional image data

作者:

Highlights:

• The causes of over-fitting in feature extraction for high-dimensional datasets are revealed.

• We prove the theoretical existence of perfectly discriminative subspace projections.

• Direct, inverse relationship between the classification performance the levels of inter-class discrimination.

• Soft Discriminant Maps consistently performs better than other comparable techniques.
