from T , by Vector Quantization, a dictionary D = {x1 , . . . , xp } with p m Step 2: Manifold Learning on the dictionary Laplacian Eigenmaps Manifold Learning searches Φ such that 1 2 ij Φ(xi ) − Φ(xj ) 2 KD (i, j) = Tr(ΦT LΦ) with ΦT DD Φ = I. Compute the similarity matrix KD between vectors xi ∈ D with KD (i, j) = k(xi , xj ) = exp − xi −xj 2 2 σ2 with σ = max (x i ,x j )∈D xi − xj 2 2 Compute the degree diagonal matrix DD of KD Solution is obtained with the eigen-decomposition of the normalized Laplacian L = I − D− 1 2 D KD D− 1 2 D as L = ΦD ΠD ΦT D with eigenvectors ΦD = [Φ1 D , · · · , Φp D ] and eigenvalues ΠD = diag[λ1, · · · , λp ] 12 / 35
