  • Title: A scalable kernel-based semisupervised metric learning algorithm with out-of-sample generalization ability.
    Author: Yeung DY, Chang H, Dai G.
    Journal: Neural Comput; 2008 Nov; 20(11):2839-61. PubMed ID: 18439136.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, metric learning in the semisupervised setting has aroused a lot of research interest. One type of semisupervised metric learning utilizes supervisory information in the form of pairwise similarity or dissimilarity constraints. However, most methods proposed so far are either limited to linear metric learning or unable to scale well with the data set size. In this letter, we propose a nonlinear metric learning method based on the kernel approach. By applying low-rank approximation to the kernel matrix, our method can handle significantly larger data sets. Moreover, our low-rank approximation scheme can naturally lead to out-of-sample generalization. Experiments performed on both artificial and real-world data show very promising results.
