In many applications it is desirable to learn from several kernels. "Multiple kernel learning" (MKL) allows the practitioner to optimize over linear combinations of kern...
Abstract. This work proposes a family of language-independent semantic kernel functions defined for individuals in an ontology. This allows exploiting wellfounded kernel methods fo...
We consider the problem of learning with instances defined over a space of sets of vectors. We derive a new positive definite kernel f(A B) defined over pairs of matrices A B base...
The main goal of this paper is to prove inequalities on the reconstruction error for Kernel Principal Component Analysis. With respect to previous work on this topic, our contribu...
Kernels are two-placed functions that can be interpreted as inner products in some Hilbert space. It is this property which makes kernels predestinated to carry linear models of l...
