Robust Metric Learning

Robust Metric Learning learns a Mahalanobis distance function from labeled or pairwise-constrained data while actively resisting the distortion caused by noisy labels, corrupted examples, or outliers. By replacing standard hinge or squared losses with robust alternatives and adding regularization, it produces a distance metric that generalises well even when the training set is imperfect — a common situation in real-world scientific and applied tasks.
