Abstract. Clustering has recently enjoyed progress via spectral methods which group data using only pairwise affinities and avoid parametric assumptions. While spectral clustering ...
The power and popularity of kernel methods stem in part from their ability to handle diverse forms of structured inputs, including vectors, graphs and strings. Recently, several m...

We present a novel approach to compute the similarity between two unordered variable-sized vector sets. To solve this problem, several authors have proposed to model each vector s...
—We propose a new method for online estimation of probabilistic discriminative models. The method is based on the recently proposed online Kernel Density Estimation (oKDE) framew...
Moment matching is a popular means of parametric density estimation. We extend this technique to nonparametric estimation of mixture models. Our approach works by embedding distri...
