In this paper, we address the problem of finding the pre-image of a feature vector in the feature space induced by a kernel. This is of central importance in some kernel applicatio...
This paper introduces a semi-supervised distance metric learning algorithm which uses pair-wise equivalence (similarity and dissimilarity) constraints to improve the original dist...
The choice of the kernel function which determines the mapping between the input space and the feature space is of crucial importance to kernel methods. The past few years have se...
A structural similarity kernel is presented in this paper for SVM learning, especially for learning with imbalanced datasets. Kernels in SVM are usually pairwise, comparing the sim...
Irregular applications frequently exhibit poor performance on contemporary computer architectures, in large part because of their inefficient use of the memory hierarchy. Runtime ...
