I describe an approach to similarity motivated by Bayesian methods. This yields a similarity function that is learnable using a standard Bayesian methods. The relationship of the approach to variable kernel and variable metric methods is discussed. The approach is related to variable kernel Experimental results on character recognition and 3D object recognition are presented..
