A graph G is the k-leaf power of a tree T if its vertices are leaves of T such that two vertices are adjacent in G if and only if their distance in T is at most k. Then T is the k...
Distance metric learning has been widely investigated in machine learning and information retrieval. In this paper, we study a particular content-based image retrieval application ...
