Their reliance on pre-defined distance metrics—e.g. the Euclidean or Manhattan distance—are problematic especially when used in combination with high-dimensional feature vectors for which the similarity measure does not well-reflect the differences in the target property. Metric learning is an elegant approach to surmount this shortcoming and find a property-informed transformation of the feature space. We propose a new algorithm for metric learning specifically adapted for kernel ridge regression (KRR): metric learning for kernel ridge regression (MLKRR) . It is based on the Metric Learning for Kernel Regression framework using the Nadaraya-Watson estimator, which we show to be inferior to the KRR estimator for typical physics-based machine learning tasks. The MLKRR algorithm allows for superior predictive performance on the benchmark regression task of atomisation energies of QM9 molecules, as well as generating more meaningful low-dimensional projections ofthe modified feature space.  \n1. Introduction  \nOver the last decade, supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods have established themselves as reliable tools in the physical sciences [1–12]. Supervised models aim to find a mathematical relationship between input data and target properties. Kernel-based regression methods, e.g. kernel ridge regression (KRR) and Gaussian process regression (GPR), are popular in the field [3, 4, 13–15] .
