We study the problem of learning similarity by using nonlinear embedding models (e.g., neural networks) from all possible pairs. This problem is well-known for its difficulty of training with the extreme number of pairs. For the special case of using linear embeddings, many studies have addressed this issue of handling all pairs by considering certain loss functions and developing efficient optimization algorithms. This paper aims to extend results for general nonlinear embeddings. First, we finish detailed derivations and provide clean formulations for efficiently calculating some building blocks of optimization algorithms such as function, gradient evaluation, and Hessian-vector product. The result enables the use of many optimization methods for extreme similarity learning with nonlinear embeddings. Second, we study some optimization methods in detail. Due to the use of nonlinear embeddings, implementation issues different from linear cases are addressed. In the end, some methods are shown to be highly efficient for extreme similarity learning with nonlinear embeddings.

In the low-rank matrix completion (LRMC) problem, the low-rank assumption means that the columns (or rows) of the matrix to be completed are points on a low-dimensional linear algebraic variety. This paper extends this thinking to cases where the col
umns are points on a low-dimensional nonlinear algebraic variety, a problem we call Low Algebraic Dimension Matrix Completion (LADMC). Matrices whose columns belong to a union of subspaces are an important special case. We propose a LADMC algorithm that leverages existing LRMC methods on a tensorized representation of the data. For example, a second-order tensorized representation is formed by taking the Kronecker product of each column with itself, and we consider higher order tensorizations as well. This approach will succeed in many cases where traditional LRMC is guaranteed to fail because the data are low-rank in the tensorized representation but not in the original representation. We provide a formal mathematical justification for the success of our method. In particular, we give bounds of the rank of these data in the tensorized representation, and we prove sampling requirements to guarantee uniqueness of the solution. We also provide experimental results showing that the new approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods for matrix completion under a union of subspaces model.
Deep semi-supervised learning has been widely implemented in the real-world due to the rapid development of deep learning. Recently, attention has shifted to the approaches such as Mean-Teacher to penalize the inconsistency between two perturbed inpu
t sets. Although these methods may achieve positive results, they ignore the relationship information between data instances. To solve this problem, we propose a novel method named Metric Learning by Similarity Network (MLSN), which aims to learn a distance metric adaptively on different domains. By co-training with the classification network, similarity network can learn more information about pairwise relationships and performs better on some empirical tasks than state-of-art methods.
In real-world classification problems, pairwise supervision (i.e., a pair of patterns with a binary label indicating whether they belong to the same class or not) can often be obtained at a lower cost than ordinary class labels. Similarity learning i
s a general framework to utilize such pairwise supervision to elicit useful representations by inferring the relationship between two data points, which encompasses various important preprocessing tasks such as metric learning, kernel learning, graph embedding, and contrastive representation learning. Although elicited representations are expected to perform well in downstream tasks such as classification, little theoretical insight has been given in the literature so far. In this paper, we reveal that a specific formulation of similarity learning is strongly related to the objective of binary classification, which spurs us to learn a binary classifier without ordinary class labels---by fitting the product of real-valued prediction functions of pairwise patterns to their similarity. Our formulation of similarity learning does not only generalize many existing ones, but also admits an excess risk bound showing an explicit connection to classification. Finally, we empirically demonstrate the practical usefulness of the proposed method on benchmark datasets.
We propose a probabilistic kernel approach for preferential learning from pairwise duelling data using Gaussian Processes. Different from previous methods, we do not impose a total order on the item space, hence can capture more expressive latent pre
ferential structures such as inconsistent preferences and clusters of comparable items. Furthermore, we prove the universality of the proposed kernels, i.e. that the corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) is dense in the space of skew-symmetric preference functions. To conclude the paper, we provide an extensive set of numerical experiments on simulated and real-world datasets showcasing the competitiveness of our proposed method with state-of-the-art.
Weakly supervised learning has drawn considerable attention recently to reduce the expensive time and labor consumption of labeling massive data. In this paper, we investigate a novel weakly supervised learning problem of learning from similarity-con
fidence (Sconf) data, where we aim to learn an effective binary classifier from only unlabeled data pairs equipped with confidence that illustrates their degree of similarity (two examples are similar if they belong to the same class). To solve this problem, we propose an unbiased estimator of the classification risk that can be calculated from only Sconf data and show that the estimation error bound achieves the optimal convergence rate. To alleviate potential overfitting when flexible models are used, we further employ a risk correction scheme on the proposed risk estimator. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
