In this paper, we present an information-theoretic approach to learning a Mahalanobis distance function. We formulate the problem as that of minimizing the differential relative e...

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...
Abstract In case of insufficient data samples in highdimensional classification problems, sparse scatters of samples tend to have many ‘holes’—regions that have few or no nea...

In this paper we learn a dissimilarity measure for categorical data, for effective classification of the data points. Each categorical feature (with values taken from a finite set...
