—The pairwise constraints specifying whether a pair of samples should be grouped together or not have been successfully incorporated into the conventional clustering methods such...
In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture ...
Spectral clustering is a widely used method for organizing data that only relies on pairwise similarity measurements. This makes its application to non-vectorial data straightforw...

We consider the problem of learning a similarity function from a set of positive equivalence constraints, i.e. 'similar' point pairs. We define the similarity in informa...
In this paper we propose and evaluate an algorithm that learns a similarity measure for comparing never seen objects. The measure is learned from pairs of training images labeled ...
