Learning Riemannian Metrics
share
We propose a solution to the problem of estimating a Riemannian metric associated with a given differentiable manifold. The metric learning problem is based on minimizing the relative volume of a given set of points. We derive the details for a family of metrics on the multinomial simplex. The resulting metric has applications in text classification and bears some similarity to TFIDF representation of text documents.
