Regularization of restricted canonical correlation analysis

Canonical correlation methods are a family of statistical methods. The original canonical correlation analysis was developed to examine linear relationships between two sets of variables. In order to increase the flexibility of the original method, several extensions of canonical correlation analysis have been proposed. Two extensions will be discussed, restricted canonical correlation analysis and restricted kernel canonical correlation analysis. The standard technique for solving canonical correlation analysis problems is based on an eigenvalue problem. The search process has an exponential time complexity and even problems with a few tens of variables cannot be solved in a feasible time. In this lecture an alternative technique will be described, so that even problems with tens of thousands of variables can be solved in a feasible time. The problem of cross-language information retrieval is shown as an example.

About IBMI

Institute for Biostatistics and Medical Informatics (IBMI), formerly Institute for BioMedical Informatics (so still IBMI) was founded by the Faculty of Medicine as a result of a need for a unit which would perform, or coordinate, tasks related to data analysis and providing information, relevant for research in medicine. The programme of the institute, and its development, have been adjusting thorugh time to changes in financing and technological progress, but the basic aim remain the same: to support research in medicine. This is achieved through the following tasks:
