Learning Mahalanobis metric spaces is an important problem that has found numerous applications. Several algorithms have been designed for this problem, including Information Theoretic Metric Learning (ITML) [Davis et al. 2007] and Large Margin Nearest Neighbor (LMNN) classification [Weinberger and Saul 2009]. We study the problem of learning a Mahalanobis metric space in the presence of adversarial label noise. To that end, we consider a formulation of Mahalanobis metric learning as an…

Information-theoretic metric learning
TLDR
An information-theoretic approach to learning a Mahalanobis distance function that can handle a wide variety of constraints and can optionally incorporate a prior on the distance function and derive regret bounds for the resulting algorithm.
Distance Metric Learning for Large Margin Nearest Neighbor Classification
TLDR
This paper shows how to learn a Mahalanobis distance metric for kNN classification from labeled examples in a globally integrated manner and finds that metrics trained in this way lead to significant improvements in kNN Classification.
Metric Learning by Collapsing Classes
TLDR
An algorithm for learning a quadratic Gaussian metric (Mahalanobis distance) for use in classification tasks and discusses how the learned metric may be used to obtain a compact low dimensional feature representation of the original input space, allowing more efficient classification with very little reduction in performance.
