New dimensionality reduction method uses information geometry for improved classification

Researchers have introduced Supervised Quadratic Feature Analysis (SQFA), a novel method for dimensionality reduction that utilizes information geometry. This approach leverages the Fisher information metric and Fisher-Rao distance to measure class dissimilarity, treating probability distributions as points on a statistical manifold. SQFA learns linear features that optimize these distances, aiming to improve classification accuracy. A variant, SQFA-H, which maximizes the Hellinger distance, demonstrated competitive or superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art methods on real-world datasets. AI
