Some Remarks on Diffusion Distances

As a diffusion distance, we propose to use a metric (closely related to cosine similarity) which is defined as the 𝐿2 distance between two 𝐿2-normalized vectors. We provide a mathematical explanation as to why the normalization makes diffusion distances more meaningful. Our proposal is in contrast t...
