A theory of learning with similarity functions
Kernel functions have become an extremely popular tool in machine learning, with an attractive theory as well. This theory views a kernel as implicitly mapping data points into a ...

How Good Is a Kernel When Used as a Similarity Measure?
Recently, Balcan and Blum [1] suggested a theory of learning based on general similarity functions, instead of positive semi-definite kernels. We study the gap between the learnin...

Distance Learning for Similarity Estimation
In this paper, we present a general guideline to find a better distance measure for similarity estimation based on statistical analysis of distribution models and distance function...
