Affinity guided Geometric Semi-Supervised Metric Learning

27 Feb 2020  ·  Ujjal Kr Dutta, Mehrtash Harandi, Chellu Chandra Sekhar ·

In this paper, we revamp the forgotten classical Semi-Supervised Distance Metric Learning (SSDML) problem from a Riemannian geometric lens, to leverage stochastic optimization within a end-to-end deep framework. The motivation comes from the fact that apart from a few classical SSDML approaches learning a linear Mahalanobis metric, deep SSDML has not been studied. We first extend existing SSDML methods to their deep counterparts and then propose a new method to overcome their limitations. Due to the nature of constraints on our metric parameters, we leverage Riemannian optimization. Our deep SSDML method with a novel affinity propagation based triplet mining strategy outperforms its competitors.
