New Class Recognition Method Based on Distance Metric Learning
Xie Mao · 2009
In online classification tasks,new class of patterns sometimes emerges,which makes the distribution change significantly and current classification models invalid.A method based on distance metric learning is proposed to recognize new class from existing classes without the apriori knowledge about emerging class.And it can make the class similarity represented by using distance between two objects,which is the key of promoting the performance of recognition.Therefore,the proposed method can be applied to the adaptive classification.The experimental results show that the proposed method can recognize new class well,and on the basis of this method the online classifier is adapted and it can predict the instance better than the original one.
