New Jaccard Distance Theory for Lattices and Valuations

This paper explores theoretical advancements in generalizing the Jaccard distance for lattices and valuations. It demonstrates that under specific conditions, such as a strictly positive, monotone, and modular valuation, the Jaccard distance adheres to the triangle inequality on arbitrary lattices. The research further investigates these properties in complemented distributive lattices and identifies supermodularity as a strict requirement for the standard generalized Jaccard distance to function as a valid metric. The findings are mapped to practical applications in fields like quantum information theory, formal concept analysis, and machine learning. AI
