Non-Euclidean and non-metric dissimilarities

…do not fit, however, to an Euclidean space. It is not possible to find a representation in a two- or higher-dimensional Euclidean space in which the distances between the vectors…

Machine learning and pattern recognition

…domain such that the existing learning procedures can be applied as they need a proper representation of the objects it is applied to. Pattern recognition primarily cares about the representation….

Statistical pattern recognition

…This is called representation. On the basis of the representation the observations can be related. The pattern recognition task is to generalize these relations to rules that should hold for…

My classifier scores 50% error. How bad is that?

representation. Assume that the class probabilities or densities as well as the class prior probabilities (which is the probability that an arbitrary object belongs to class ), are known for…

Distances and densities

…the new object and we want to use them for classifying it, they should be related. It is then necessary to find an object representation that enables us to relate…

Non-Euclidean embedding

…Let be a symmetric dissimilarity matrix with non-negative values and zeros on the diagonal, then can be split in two matrices and by such that both, and are perfectly embeddable…

Non-metric dissimilarities are all around

…A big advantage of the representation of objects by a dissimilarity space over the use of kernels is that it has no problems with the usage of non-Euclidean dissimilarity

The ten Aristotelian categories, features and dissimilarities

…recognizing objects by the dissimilarity representation, often discussed on this website. It does not use any feature. Instead, it relates objects to other objects by differences in shape. This discussion…

PRTools History

…Elzbieta Pekalska for dissimilarity based pattern recognition (DisTools). Pavel Paclik founded his own company (perClass) inspired by these efforts. For a number of years he continued to support PRTools by…

Features need statistics, as they reduce

representation used for pattern recognition: the feature space. Objects belonging to different pattern classes differ. Otherwise it would not be possible to distinguish these classes. May be the differences can…
