Semi-supervised Metric Learning

Semi-supervised metric learning learns a task-adapted distance function by combining a small set of labeled pairwise constraints — must-link and cannot-link pairs — with the geometric structure of a much larger pool of unlabeled data. The result is a Mahalanobis-style or kernel-based distance that reflects both supervision and data topology, improving downstream tasks such as nearest-neighbor classification and clustering.
