Information-theoretic metric learning [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 24th international conference on Machine learning, 2007
In this paper, we present an information-theoretic approach to learning a Mahalanobis distance function. We formulate the problem as that of minimizing the differential relative entropy between two multivariate Gaussians under constraints on the distance function. We express this problem as a particular Bregman optimization problem---that of minimizing
