The classical Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) is an important method for data dimension reduction. Nonlinear variants have been developed to improve its performance. One of them is the MDS with Radial Basis Functions (RBF). A key issue that has not been well addressed in MDS-RBF is the effective selection of its centers. This paper treats this selection problem as a multi-task learning problem, which leads us to employ the $(2,1)$-norm to regularize the original MDS-RBF objective function. We then study its two reformulations: Diagonal and spectral reformulations. Both can be effectively solved through an iterative block-majorization method. Numerical experiments show that the regularized models can improve the original model significantly.
Keywords: support vector machine., regularization, radial basis function, Multi-dimensional scaling, iterative majorization.
