- QUOTE: A more realistic solution would entail the use of a trained distance function between two given sample feature vector. Although the idea of trained distance functions as such is appealing, preliminary experiments revealed that the results where not much better than those obtained by nearest-neighbor search. The number of contrasting classes (writers) is large, and it is difficult to find a distance function which suits all local sample configurations with a smooth margin separating ’near’ (same-identity) from ’far’ (different-identity) samples. At this moment, the combination of a comparable or lower performance with the additional cost of training efforts and additional parameters seems unattractive. However, more research is needed here, indeed.
