- Title: On Similarity
- Authors: Luciano da F. Costa
- Abstract summary: We develop a principled approach that takes the Kronecker's delta function of two scalar values as the prototypical reference for similarity quantification.
Generalizations of these indices to take into account the sign of the scalar values were then presented and developed to multisets, vectors, and functions in real spaces.
Several important results have been obtained, including the interpretation of the Jaccard index as a yielding implementation of the Kronecker's delta function.

- Abstract: The objective quantification of similarity between two mathematical
structures constitutes a recurrent issue in science and technology. In the
present work, we developed a principled approach that took the Kronecker's
delta function of two scalar values as the prototypical reference for
similarity quantification and then derived for more yielding indices, three of
which bound between 0 and 1. Generalizations of these indices to take into
account the sign of the scalar values were then presented and developed to
multisets, vectors, and functions in real spaces. Several important results
have been obtained, including the interpretation of the Jaccard index as a
yielding implementation of the Kronecker's delta function. When generalized to
real functions, the four described similarity indices become respective
functionals, which can then be employed to obtain associated operations of
convolution and correlation.

This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization.
We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors.
We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

The Jaccard index has been extensively used in the most diverse types of problems, also motivating respective generalizations.
It is also posited that these indices can play an important role while analyzing and integrating datasets in modeling approaches and pattern recognition activities.
