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...
—We consider the problem of positioning a cloud of points in the Euclidean space Rd , from noisy measurements of a subset of pairwise distances. This task has applications in var...
Distance-based methods in machine learning and pattern recognition have to rely on a metric distance between points in the input space. Instead of specifying a metric a priori, we...
We develop a supervised dimensionality reduction method, called Lorentzian Discriminant Projection (LDP), for feature extraction and classification. Our method represents the str...
We present a method for training a similarity metric from data. The method can be used for recognition or verification applications where the number of categories is very large an...
