In plenty of scenarios, data can be represented as vectors mathematically abstracted as points in a Euclidean space. Because a great number of machine learning and data mining app...
Categories in multi-class data are often part of an underlying semantic taxonomy. Recent work in object classification has found interesting ways to use this taxonomy structure t...
There has been significant recent interest in sparse metric learning (SML) in which we simultaneously learn both a good distance metric and a low-dimensional representation. Unfor...
A good distance metric is crucial for many data mining tasks. To learn a metric in the unsupervised setting, most metric learning algorithms project observed data to a lowdimensio...
The main theme of this paper is to develop a novel eigenvalue optimization framework for learning a Mahalanobis metric. Within this context, we introduce a novel metric learning a...
