Kernel-Based Metric Adaptation with Pairwise Constraints
Abstract. Many supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms depend on the choice of an appropriate distance metric. While metric learning for supervised learning tasks has a lon...

Adaptive Quasiconformal Kernel Metric for Image Retrieval
This paper presents a new approach to ranking relevant images for retrieval. Distance in the feature space associated with a kernel is used to rank relevant images. An adaptive qu...

Small Space Representations for Metric Min-Sum k -Clustering and Their Applications
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...

Self-Adaptive Niching CMA-ES with Mahalanobis Metric
Existing niching techniques commonly use the Euclidean distance metric in the decision space for the classification of feasible solutions to the niches under formation. This approa...

Spatial Selection of Sparse Pivots for Similarity Search in Metric Spaces
Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, ca...
