Abstract

Similarity measures play a critical role in the solution quality of data analysis methods. Outliers or noise often taint the solution, hence, practical data analysis calls for robust measures. The correntropic loss function is a smooth and robust measure. In this paper, we present the properties of the correntropic loss function that can be utilized in optimization based data analysis methods.
