For learning purposes, representations of real world objects can be built by using the concept of dissimilarity (distance). In such a case, an object is characterized in a relative way, i.e. by its dissimilarities to a set of the selected prototypes. Such dissimilarity representations are found to be more practical for some pattern recognition problems. When experts cannot decide for a single dissimilarity measure, a number of them may be studied in parallel. We investigate two possibilities of combining either dissimilarity representations themselves or classifiers built on each of them separately. Our experiments conducted on a handwritten digit set demonstrate that when the dissimilarity representations are of different nature, a much better performance can be obtained by their combination than on individual representations.
