Beyond Correlation: Learning Supervised, Sample-Distinct, and Eigenimage-Interpretable Representations
arXiv:2507.21136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conventional dimensionality reduction methods mainly optimize variance or correlation, leaving statistical dependence, data diversity, contrast, and interpretability under addressed. We propose three new independence criteria for designing supervised and unsupervised dimensionality reduction (DR) methods, aiming to improve feature extraction and representation quality. Our framework combines linear and nonlinear formulations and is evaluated using contrast, classification accuracy, and interpretability measures. The interpretability of eigenf
