Learning Local Invariant Mahalanobis Distances

2015-02-04 · Ethan Fetaya, Shimon Ullman

For many tasks and data types, there are natural transformations to which the data should be invariant or insensitive. For instance, in visual recognition, natural images should be insensitive to rotation and translation. This requirement and its implications have been important in many machine learning applications, and tolerance for image transformations was primarily achieved by using robust feature vectors. In this paper we propose a novel and computationally efficient way to learn a local Mahalanobis metric per datum, and show how we can learn a local invariant metric to any transformation in order to improve performance.

Classification Using Global and Local Mahalanobis Distances

2024-02-13 · Annesha Ghosh, Anil K. Ghosh, Rita SahaRay, Soham Sarkar

We propose a novel semiparametric classifier based on Mahalanobis distances of an observation from the competing classes. Our tool is a generalized additive model with the logistic link function that uses these distances…

Lipschitz Continuity of Mahalanobis Distances and Bilinear Forms

2016-04-04 · Valentina Zantedeschi, Rémi Emonet, Marc Sebban

Many theoretical results in the machine learning domain stand only for functions that are Lipschitz continuous. Lipschitz continuity is a strong form of continuity that linearly bounds the variations of a function. In th…

metricDTW: local distance metric learning in Dynamic Time Warping

2016-06-11 · Jiaping Zhao, Zerong Xi, Laurent Itti

We propose to learn multiple local Mahalanobis distance metrics to perform k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classification of temporal sequences. Temporal sequences are first aligned by dynamic time warping (DTW); given the alig…
