Proportional data (normalized histograms) have been frequently occurring in various areas, and they could be mathematically abstracted as points residing in a geometric simplex. A...
The success of popular algorithms such as k-means clustering or nearest neighbor searches depend on the assumption that the underlying distance functions reflect domain-specific n...
Abstract. The estimation of human age from face images is an interesting problem in computer vision. We proposed a general distance metric learning scheme for regression problems, ...
High dimensional structured data such as text and images is often poorly understood and misrepresented in statistical modeling. The standard histogram representation suffers from ...
The k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm can be easily adapted to classify complex objects (e.g. sets, graphs) as long as a proper dissimilarity function is given over an input space. Bo...
