Non-Euclidean embedding

Monday, January 21st, 2013 at 00:00  

Non-Euclidean dissimilarities may arise naturally when we want to build a measure that incorporates important knowledge about the objects. This is fine, but how to embed such dissimilarities in a vector space if we want to use the standard linear algebra tools for generalization? Here the so-called pseudo-Euclidean vector space will be discussed. To understand…
