In many real-world applications, such as image retrieval, it would be natural to measure the distances from one instance to others using instance specific distance which captures ...
Most machine learning algorithms are lazy: they extract from the training set the minimum information needed to predict its labels. Unfortunately, this often leads to models that ...
