Re: Asymmetric Similarity Matrix

Dear Juan,

this is normal as the similarity measure of GIFT is not a metric as it 
is based on a tf/idf weighting form text retrieval.
Image similarity is calculated in the space spanned by the features 
present in the query, only. Each image has around 1500 features out of 
87000 possible (most of them binary features), so each image potentially 
spans a different sub-space in which similarity is calculated.

Cheers, Henning
