The Web is now a huge information repository with a rich semantic structure that, however, is primarily addressed to human understanding rather than automated processing by a compu...
Kernel machines rely on an implicit mapping of the data such that non-linear classification in the original space corresponds to linear classification in the new space. As kernel ...
