Title
Metric based Gaussian kernel learning for classification
Abstract
Metric learning for KNN has attracted increasing attentions in the field of machine learning (e.g., based on the parametric form of Mahalanobis distance). A good distance metric is also the foundation for other machine learning models, for example, a Gaussian RBF kernel is constructed upon distance metric defined in the feature vector space. However, besides the KNN classifier, there is little research work on learning a good distancemetric for distance-basedmodels. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithmto learn aMahalanobis-distance type metric for Gaussian RBF kernels. We conduct experiments on 5 data sets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository database and two face recognition data sets. The classification results show that the proposed algorithm can outperform other state-of-arts on most of the data sets and achieve comparable results on the rest of data sets.
