Input: We propose a general information-theoretic approach called SERAPH (SEmi-supervised metRic leArning Paradigm with Hyper-sparsity) for metric learning that does not rely upon the manifold assumption. Given the probability parameterized by a Mahalanobis distance, we maximize the entropy of that probability on labeled data and minimize it on unlabeled data following entropy regularization, which allows the supervised and unsupervised parts to be integrated in a natural and meaningful way. Furthermore, SERAPH is regularized by encouraging a low-rank projection induced from the metric. The optimization of SERAPH is solved efficiently and stably by an EMlike scheme with the analytical E-Step and convex M-Step. Experiments demonstrate that SERAPH compares favorably with many well-known global and local metric learning methods.
