Supervised Dimensionality Reduction via Distance Correlation Maximization [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
In our work, we propose a novel formulation for supervised dimensionality reduction based on a nonlinear dependency criterion called Statistical Distance Correlation, Szekely et. al. (2007). We propose an objective which is free of distributional assumptions on regression variables and regression model assumptions. Our proposed formulation is based on learning a low-dimensional feature representation $\mathbf{z}$, which maximizes the squared sum of Distance Correlations between low dimensional features $\mathbf{z}$ and response $y$, and also between features $\mathbf{z}$ and covariates $\mathbf{x}$. We propose a novel algorithm to optimize our proposed objective using the Generalized Minimization Maximizaiton method of ¶arizi et. al. (2015). We show superior empirical results on multiple datasets proving the effectiveness of our proposed approach over several relevant state-of-the-art supervised dimensionality reduction methods.
