We consider a framework for semi-supervised learning using spectral decomposition-based unsupervised kernel design. We relate this approach to previously proposed semi-supervised l...
Prior knowledge over general nonlinear sets is incorporated into nonlinear kernel classification problems as linear constraints in a linear program. The key tool in this incorpora...
Appropriate selection of the kernel function, which implicitly defines the feature space of an algorithm, has a crucial role in the success of kernel methods. In this paper, we co...
In this work, we propose a multi-class classification strategy based on Fisher kernels. Fisher kernels combine the powers of discriminative and generative classifiers by mapping v...
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is an acknowledged powerful tool for building classifiers, but it lacks flexibility, in the sense that the kernel is chosen prior to learning. Mul...
