    Code (usually matlab):

  • DistBoost - a boosting-based distance learning algorithm, see paper.
  • Constrained EM algorithm: full package (with BNT) and minimal code, see paper.
  • RCA Mahalanobis distance learning, see paper.
  • Typical-cut clustering algorithm (in C), see paper.
  • Relational model learning, see paper.
  • Spike sorting - Clustering of non-stationary data, see paper.



  • Image data sets:

  • Short description of the data sets
  • Chairs data
  • Furniture background
  • Dogs data
  • Easy animals background - animals not similar to dogs
