Information-theoretic metric learning
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...

Fast solvers and efficient implementations for distance metric learning
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...

Manifold Based Local Classifiers: Linear and Nonlinear Approaches
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...

Learning Dissimilarities for Categorical Symbols
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...
