This paper introduces a simple Sum-over-Paths (SoP) formulation of string edit distances accounting for all possible alignments between two sequences, and extends related previous...
We propose a kernelized maximal-figure-of-merit (MFoM) learning approach to efficiently training a nonlinear model using subspace distance minimization. In particular, a fixed,...
The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) is a similarity measure that captures perceptual difference between two distributions. Its computational complexity, however, prevents a direc...
