Distance metric learning and nonlinear dimensionality reduction are two interesting and active topics in recent years. However, the connection between them is not thoroughly studi...
Relevance feedback has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for improving retrieval accuracy. The existing relevance feedback algorithms based on language models and vect...
In this paper, we propose a novel metric learning method based on regularized moving least squares. Unlike most previous metric learning methods which learn a global Mahalanobis d...
In order to discover relevant weights of neural networks, this paper proposes a novel method to learn a distinct squared penalty factor for each weight as a minimization problem ov...
ct 8 For a specific set of features chosen for representing images, the performance of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system 9 depends critically on the similarity or diss...
