—We present a new family of tight lower and upper bounds on the Gaussian Q-function Q(x). It is first shown that, for any x, the integrand ϕ(θ; x) of the Craig representation ...
We address the problem of learning distance metrics using side-information in the form of groups of "similar" points. We propose to use the RCA algorithm, which is a sim...
