A greedy approach to sparse canonical correlation analysis

Ami Wiesel, Mark Kliger, Alfred O. Hero

英文摘要:

We consider the problem of sparse canonical correlation analysis (CCA), i.e., the search for two linear combinations, one for each multivariate, that yield maximum correlation using a specified number of variables. We propose an efficient numerical approximation based on a direct greedy approach which bounds the correlation at each stage. The method is specifically designed to cope with large data sets and its computational complexity depends only on the sparsity levels. We analyze the algorithm's performance through the tradeoff between correlation and parsimony. The results of numerical simulation suggest that a significant portion of the correlation may be captured using a relatively small number of variables. In addition, we examine the use of sparse CCA as a regularization method when the number of available samples is small compared to the dimensions of the multivariates.
