The principle of maximum entropy provides a powerful framework for statistical models of joint, conditional, and marginal distributions. However, there are many important distribu...
Previous studies of Non-Parametric Kernel (NPK) learning usually reduce to solving some Semi-Definite Programming (SDP) problem by a standard SDP solver. However, time complexity ...
Abstract--Kernel-based algorithms such as support vector machines have achieved considerable success in various problems in batch setting, where all of the training data is availab...
