Formulating distance functions via the kernel trick
Tasks of data mining and information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be for...

The Pre-Image Problem in Kernel Methods
In this paper, we address the problem of finding the pre-image of a feature vector in the feature space induced by a kernel. This is of central importance in some kernel applicatio...

The Laplacian PDF Distance: A Cost Function for Clustering in a Kernel Feature Space
A new distance measure between probability density functions (pdfs) is introduced, which we refer to as the Laplacian pdf distance. The Laplacian pdf distance exhibits a remarkabl...

Beyond the Euclidean distance: Creating effective visual codebooks using the histogram intersection kernel
Common visual codebook generation methods used in a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features into visual...

Comparing distributions and shapes using the kernel distance
Starting with a similarity function between objects, it is possible to define a distance metric (the kernel distance) on pairs of objects, and more generally on probability distr...
