Abstract
We propose a new embedding method for a single vector and for a pair of vectors. This embedding method enables: a) efficient classification and regression of functions of single vectors; b) efficient approximation of distance functions; and c) non-Euclidean, semimetric learning. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that enables learning any general, non-Euclidean, semimetrics. That is, our method is a universal semimetric learning and approximation method that can approximate any distance function with as high accuracy as needed with or without semimetric constraints.
