A good distance metric is crucial for unsupervised learning from high-dimensional data. To learn a metric without any constraint or class label information, most unsupervised metr...
Distance functions are an important component in many learning applications. However, the correct function is context dependent, therefore it is advantageous to learn a distance f...
Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
Interactive clustering refers to situations in which a human labeler is willing to assist a learning algorithm in automatically clustering items. We present a related but somewhat...
