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...
In many real-world applications, such as image retrieval, it would be natural to measure the distances from one instance to others using instance specific distance which captures ...
Relevant Component Analysis (RCA) has been proposed for learning distance metrics with contextual constraints for image retrieval. However, RCA has two important disadvantages. On...

Proportional data (normalized histograms) have been frequently occurring in various areas, and they could be mathematically abstracted as points residing in a geometric simplex. A...
We present a new approach to learning image metrics. The main advantage of our method lies in a formulation that requires only a few pairwise examples. Apparently, based on the li...
