Learning Similarity Measures from Pairwise Constraints with Neural Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel neural network model, called Similarity Neural Network (SNN), designed to learn similarity measures for pairs of patterns exploiting binary supervision. The model guarantees to compute a non negative and symmetric measure, and shows good generalization capabilities even if a small set of supervised examples is used for training. The approximation capabilities of the proposed model are also investigated. Moreover, the experiments carried out on some benchmark datasets show that SNNs almost always outperform other similarity learning methods proposed in the literature.

Generative Adversarial Residual Pairwise Networks for One Shot Learning
Deep neural networks achieve unprecedented performance levels over many tasks and scale well with large quantities of data, but performance in the low-data regime and tasks like one shot learning still lags behind. While recent work suggests many hypotheses from better optimization to more complicated network structures, in this work we hypothesize that having a learnable and more expressive si...
متن کاملComposite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric
Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...
متن کاملBinary Constrained Deep Hashing Network for Image Retrieval without Human Intervention
Learning compact binary codes for image retrieval problem using deep neural networks has attracted increasing attention recently. However, training deep hashing networks is challenging due to the binary constraints on the hash codes, the similarity preserving properties, and the requirement for a vast amount of labelled images. To the best of our knowledge, none of the existing methods has tack...
متن کاملPairwise Word Interaction Modeling with Deep Neural Networks for Semantic Similarity Measurement
Textual similarity measurement is a challenging problem, as it requires understanding the semantics of input sentences. Most previous neural network models use coarse-grained sentence modeling, which has difficulty capturing fine-grained word-level information for semantic comparisons. As an alternative, we propose to explicitly model pairwise word interactions and present a novel similarity fo...
