Bayesian Metric Learning/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Metric Learning

Bayesian Metric Learning frames the problem of learning a task-adapted distance function as probabilistic inference. Rather than producing a single optimal metric matrix, it places a prior over metrics, updates it with pairwise similarity or label constraints, and yields a posterior distribution that quantifies uncertainty about which metric best captures the true structure of the data.
