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...
We consider the problem of how to improve the efficiency of Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL). In literature, MKL is often solved by an alternating approach: (1) the minimization of ...

Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) can be formulated as a convex-concave minmax optimization problem, whose saddle point corresponds to the optimal solution to MKL. Most MKL methods e...

In this paper we address the problem of classifying images, by exploiting global features that describe color and illumination properties, and by using the statistical learning pa...
In this paper we propose a new criterion, based on Minimum Description Length (MDL), to estimate an optimal number of clusters. This criterion, called Kernel MDL (KMDL), is particu...
