Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for classification using correntropy. In one embodiment, a classifying device includes a processing unit and memory storing instructions in modules that when executed by the processing unit cause the classifying device to adaptively classify a data value using a correntropy loss function. In another embodiment, a method includes adjusting a weight of a classifier based at least in part on a change in a correntropy loss function signal and classifying a data value using the classifier. In another embodiment, a method includes classifying a data value by predicting a label for the data value using a discriminant function, determining a correntopy statistical similarity between the predicted label and an actual label based at least in part on a correntropy loss function, and minimizing an expected risk associated with the predicted label based at least in part on a correntropy statistical similarity.
