Abstract(in English) This paper proposes an inexpensive way to learn an effective dissimilarity function to be used for $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$-NN) classification. Unlike Mahalanobis metric learning methods that map both query (unlabeled) objects and labeled objects to new coordinates by a single transformation, our method learns a transformation of labeled objects to new points in the feature space whereas query objects are kept in their original coordinates. In experiments with large document and image datasets, it achieves $k$-NN classification accuracy better than or at least comparable to the state-of-the-art metric learning methods.
