Improving Nearest Neighbor Based Multi-target Prediction Through Metric Learning
2017
The purpose of this work is to learn specific distance functions to be applied for multi-target regression problems using nearest neighbors. The idea of preserving the order relation between input and output vectors considering their corresponding distances is used along a maximal margin criterion to formulate a specific metric learning problem. Extensive experiments and the corresponding discussion try to put forward the advantages of the proposed algorithm that can be considered as a generalization of previously proposed approaches. Preliminary results suggest that this line of work can lead to very competitive algorithms with convenient properties.
