Learning instance specific distances using metric propagation
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 ...

Learning distance function by coding similarity
We consider the problem of learning a similarity function from a set of positive equivalence constraints, i.e. 'similar' point pairs. We define the similarity in informa...

On learning linear ranking functions for beam search
Beam search is used to maintain tractability in large search spaces at the expense of completeness and optimality. We study supervised learning of linear ranking functions for con...

A recursive method for discriminative mixture learning
We consider the problem of learning density mixture models for classification. Traditional learning of mixtures for density estimation focuses on models that correctly represent t...

Learning nonparametric kernel matrices from pairwise constraints
Many kernel learning methods have to assume parametric forms for the target kernel functions, which significantly limits the capability of kernels in fitting diverse patterns. Som...
