Abstract

A novel approach to supervised dimensionality reduction is introduced, based on Gaussian Restricted Boltzmann Machines. The proposed model should be considered as the analogue of the probabilistic LDA, using undirected graphical models. The training algorithm of the model is presented while its close relation to the cosine distance is underlined. For the problem of speaker verification, we applied it to i-vectors and attained a significant improvement compared to the Fisher’s Discriminant LDA projection using less than half of the number of eigenvectors required by LDA.
