We consider the problem of learning a distance metric from a limited amount of pairwise information as effectively as possible. The proposed SERAPH (SEmi-supervised metRic leArning Paradigm with Hyper sparsity) is a direct and substantially more natural approach for semi-supervised metric learning, since the supervised and unsupervised parts are based on a unified information theoretic framewor...

We propose a general information-theoretic approach to semi-supervised metric learning called SERAPH (SEmi-supervised metRic leArning Paradigm with Hypersparsity) that does not rely on the manifold assumption. Given the probability parameterized by a Mahalanobis distance, we maximize its entropy on labeled data and minimize its entropy on unlabeled data following entropy regularization. For met...

“anzarna”, in the verse number 104 of the surah baqare, is a term that god recommend to believers use of it instead of word “raena”. so that they can cut excuse of jesses for mocking believers. this verse has been come after soliman and haroot and maroot in the verses number 103 and 102 of surah baqare. on the other hand the term nazar with different configuration and structure including “fanzo...

Methods Eligible participants were people living in the UK aged 18-34 years who had travelled abroad without a partner in the previous 2 years. Respondents were first screened for eligibility as part of representative face-ta­ face and telephone surveys by a market research company. Eligible individuals who agreed to take part then underwent a computer-assisted telephone interview. Reinterviewi...

Příslovečné spřežky se vyznačují jednak pozicí na pomezí mluvnice a slovní zásoby, frazeologizovanou povahou. Jejich základem bývá spojení slova neplnovýznamového (předložky) s plnovýznamovým. Nově vzniklé nabývá zpravidla jiného významu, mnohdy zcela odlišného od původního významu jeho jednotlivých izolovaných komponentů. Ve výuce pokročilejších zahraničních bohemistů by měla být věnována přís...
