报告主题：《Metric Learning with Lipschitz Continuous Functions》

摘要：

Metric learning enables classification algorithms to automatically learn a suitable distance metric from data, such that semantically similar instances are pulled together while dissimilar instances are pushed away. A learned metric can significantly improve the performance of distance-based classifiers (e.g. kNN). In this talk, I will briefly present some of our recent research efforts on metric learning with Lipschitz continuous functions, including methodology, theoretical foundation and optimisation formulation of each work. A brief introduction to University College London (UCL) will also be given
