In this paper we study how to improve nearest neighbor classification by learning a Mahalanobis distance metric. We build on a recently proposed framework for distance metric lear...
Learning application-specific distance metrics from labeled data is critical for both statistical classification and information retrieval. Most of the earlier work in this area h...
Clustering performance can often be greatly improved by
leveraging side information. In this paper, we consider constrained
clustering with pairwise constraints, which specify
s...
Relevant component analysis (RCA) is a recently proposed metric learning method for semi-supervised learning applications. It is a simple and efficient method that has been applie...
We introduce a method that enables scalable image search for learned metrics. Given pairwise similarity and dissimilarity constraints between some images, we learn a Mahalanobis d...
