Abstract(in English) It is often pointed out by researchers working on similar image search that human and computer similarity measures are quite different. For solving this problem, metric learning method has been investigated based on relevance or preference scores given by users. This method is useful for some specific problems but cannot be combined with general classification problems. On the other hand, feature transformation methods, such as quantification method 4 and principal coordinate analysis that locates similar patterns closer and dissimilar patterns further. Since these methods use mutual similarity matrix for feature transformations, 1) they cannot transform input features without similarity scores to reference features, 2) an input feature transform causes feature transformations of all learnt data. Because of these limitations, these methods are mainly applied to data visualization tasks. In this report, we propose a feature transformation method free from these limitations by combining Relevance Component Analysis and quantification method 4. In the experiment, we applied SVM for classifying "Pen-Based Recognition of Handwritten Digits" in UCI repository and confirmed that our feature transformation improves the classification rate about 7%.
