Abstract
The objective of the studies in food authentication domain is to correctly label the unknown food samples. In this research study three different food authenticity datasets of different types : meat, olive oil and honey are studied. The samples collected using Near-infrared spectroscopy method pose major challenges : the resulting datasets are high dimensional data, i.e. number of predictor variables(p) are much more than the number of observations (n),(n<<p) and the datapoints suffer from inherent collinearity problems. This research study proposes to apply three different dimensionality reduction algorithms to determine the principal components and then feed these embedding spaces to AdaBoost classifiers with DCT and SVM as base estimator. In addition, Random Forests classifier is also applied on the datasets. The aim of this research is to find the optimal combination of the dimensionality reduction algorithms and the classification algorithms that yields optimum level of accuracy. From the results of the study, it is observed that in case of meat data, LDA-AdaBoost Svm approach outperforms other approaches, whereas in case of honey dataset Random Forest classifier outperforms other approaches. In case of olive oil dataset AdaBoostDct with original dataset without any transformation outperforms other approaches.
Keywords : Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP), t-SNE (Stochastic Neighbour Embedding), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), Decision tree (DCT), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF).
