In real applications, several unpredictable or uncertain factors could result in unpaired multiview data, i.e., the observed samples between views cannot be matched.

Multi-output regression aims at mapping a multivariate input feature space to a multivariate output space. Currently, it is effective to extend the traditional support vector regression (SVR) mechanism to solve the multi-output case. However, some methods adopting a combination of single-output SVR models exhibit the severe drawback of not considering the possible correlations between outputs, and other multi-output SVRs show high computational complexity and are typically sensitive to parameters due to the influence of noise.

To defy the curse of dimensionality, the inputs are always projected from the original high-dimensional space into the target low-dimension space for feature extraction. However, due to the existence of noise and outliers, the feature extraction task for corrupted data is still a challenging problem. Recently, a robust method called low rank embedding (LRE) was proposed.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the relationship between body fat levels (adiposity) and cognitive function in middle-aged and elderly people in China, using data from a cross-sectional study with various cognitive assessments.
  • - Men who were overweight or obese generally scored better on cognitive tests compared to those with normal weight, particularly in areas like overall cognitive ability, immediate word recall, and self-rated memory, even after adjusting for confounding factors.
  • - The findings suggest that the effects of overweight and obesity on cognitive function can vary based on age and educational background, indicating a nuanced relationship between body weight and cognitive performance.
