Abstract:Similarity measurement processes are a core part of most machine learning algorithms. Traditional approaches focus on either taxonomic or thematic thinking. Psychological research suggests that a combination of both is needed to model human-like similarity perception adequately. Such a combination is called a Similarity Dual Process Model (DPM). This paper describes how to construct DPMs as a linear combination of existing measures of similarity and distance. We use generalisation functions to convert distance… Show more
