Tuning SVM hyperparameters is an important step in achieving a high-performance learning machine. It is usually done by minimizing an estimate of generalization error based on the...
Abstract. We develop three new techniques to build on the recent advances in online learning with kernels. First, we show that an exponential speed-up in prediction time per trial ...
We address the problem of seeking the global mode of a density function using the mean shift algorithm. Mean shift, like other gradient ascent optimisation methods, is susceptible...

One approach to improve the accuracy of classifications based on generative models is to combine them with successful discriminative algorithms. Fisher kernels were developed to c...
String kernels which compare the set of all common substrings between two given strings have recently been proposed by Vishwanathan & Smola (2004). Surprisingly, these kernels...
