Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
The success of kernel methods including support vector machines (SVMs) strongly depends on the design of appropriate kernels. While initially kernels were designed in order to han...
1 In web-related applications of image categorization, it is desirable to derive an interpretable classification rule with high accuracy. Using the bag-of-words representation and...
