Linear Discriminant Functions

• Assumes a 2-class classification setup

• Decision boundary is represented explicitly in terms of components of .

• Aim is to seek parameters of a linear discriminant function which minimize the training error.

• Why Linear ? – Simplest possible– Generalized

Perceptron Decision Boundary

• Decision boundary surface (hyperplane) divides feature space into two regions.

• Orientation of the boundary surface is decided by the normal vector .

• Location of the boundary surface is determined by the bias term .

• is proportional to distance of from the boundary surface.

• positive side and negative side.

Generalized LDFs

Generalized LDFs Summary

• can be any arbitrary mapping function that projects original data points to points where .

• The hyperplane decision surface passes through origin.

• Advantage: In the mapped higher dimensional space data might be linear separable.

• Disadvantage: The mapping is computationally intensive and learning the classification parameters can be non-trivial.

Learning LDF: Basic Gradient Descend

• Define a scalar function which captures classification error for specific boundary plane described by parameter

• Minimize using gradient descent.– Start with arbitrary value of for .– Iteratively refine estimate of :

• is the positive scale factor also known as learning rate– A too small makes the convergence very slow– A too large can diverge due to overshooting of corrections.
