Auto-TLDR; Feature Learning in Mixed Type of Variable by an undirected graph
Abstract Slides Poster Similar
Feature learning in the presence of a mixed type of variables, numerical and categorical types, is important for related modeling problems. In this work, we propose a novel strategy to explicitly model the probabilistic dependence structure among the mixed type of variables by an undirected graph. The dependence structure among different pairs of variables are encoded by a suitable mapping function to estimate the edges of the graph. Spectral decomposition of the graph Laplacian provides the desired feature transformation. We numerically validate the implications of the feature learning strategy on various datasets in terms of data clustering.
