A good distance metric is crucial for many data mining tasks. To learn a metric in the unsupervised setting, most metric learning algorithms project observed data to a lowdimensio...
This paper presents a method for learning a distance metric from relative comparison such as “A is closer to B than A is to C”. Taking a Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach,...
Multi-instance multi-label learning (MIML) refers to the
learning problems where each example is represented by a
bag/collection of instances and is labeled by multiple labels.

Visual dictionaries are widely employed in object recognition to map unordered bags of local region descriptors into feature vectors for image classification. Most visual dictiona...
Many unsupervised learning algorithms make use of kernels that rely on the Euclidean distance between two samples. However, the Euclidean distance is optimal for Gaussian distribut...
