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...
Learning application-specific distance metrics from labeled data is critical for both statistical classification and information retrieval. Most of the earlier work in this area h...
Abstract Image alignment has been a long standing problem in computer vision. Parameterized Appearance Models (PAMs) such as the Lucas-Kanade method, Eigentracking, and Active Appe...
Most existing representative works in semi-supervised clustering do not sufficiently solve the violation problem of pairwise constraints. On the other hand, traditional kernel met...
We introduce an algorithm for learning a local metric to a continuous input space that measures distances in terms of relevance to the processing task. The relevance is defined a...
