Although Support Vector Machines(SVM) succeed in classifying several image databases using image descriptors proposed in the literature, no single descriptor can be optimal for ge...
Selecting the optimal kernel is an important and difficult challenge in applying kernel methods to pattern recognition. To address this challenge, multiple kernel learning (MKL) ...
Identifying the appropriate kernel function/matrix for a given dataset is essential to all kernel-based learning techniques. A variety of kernel learning algorithms have been prop...
Many kernel learning methods have to assume parametric forms for the target kernel functions, which significantly limits the capability of kernels in fitting diverse patterns. Som...
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...
