Kernel methods provide an efficient mechanism to derive nonlinear algorithms. In classification problems as well as in feature extraction, kernel-based approaches map the original...
In supervised kernel methods, it has been observed that the performance of the SVM classifier is poor in cases where the diagonal entries of the Gram matrix are large relative to ...
In this paper we show that many kernel methods can be adapted to deal with indefinite kernels, that is, kernels which are not positive semidefinite. They do not satisfy Mercer...
We develop new techniques for time series classification based on hierarchical Bayesian generative models (called mixed-effect models) and the Fisher kernel derived from them. A k...
The likelihood for patterns of continuous attributes for the naive Bayesian classifier (NBC) may be approximated by kernel density estimation (KDE), letting every pattern influenc...
