Special Issue on Distance Metric Learning for Pattern Recognition
Machine learning techniques have played a central role in pattern recognition, and a variety of machine learning methods have been developed for various pattern recognition applications over the past decade. Among these learning methods, distance metric learning has achieved many state-of-the-arts in many pattern recognition applications, which aims to learn an appropriate distance function given some constrains between samples. To better discover the geometric property of high-dimensional feature spaces and exploit the complementary information of different feature spaces, manifold learning and multi-view learning strategies have also been integrated into distance metric learning to further improve the performance of various distance metric learning methods. While these methods are helpful to learn the similarity of data such as images, videos, texts, radars, and voices, how to develop task-specific distance metric learning algorithms for different pattern recognition tasks still remains unsolved, especially for big data which are captured in the wild. Moreover, how to develop transferable and nonlinear distance metric learning methods for large-scale pattern recognition systems still requires many efforts.
This special issue serves as a forum for researchers all over the world to discuss their works and recent advances in distance metric learning for pattern recognition. Both state-of-the-art works, as well as literature reviews, are welcome for submission. Papers addressing interesting real-world pattern recognition applications are especially encouraged.
