TrainDimensionalityReduction

Train a dimensionality reduction model

Description

Trainer for dimensionality reduction algorithms (autoencoders, PCA, SOM). All input samples are used to compute the model, like other machine learning models. The model can be used in the ImageDimensionalityReduction and VectorDimensionalityReduction applications.

Parameters

Input XML image statistics file -io.stats filename [dtype]
XML file containing mean and variance of each feature.

Field names to be used for training -feat string1 string2...
List of field names in the input vector data used as features for training.

algorithm to use for the training -algorithm [som|autoencoder|pca] Default value: som
