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) ...
A structural similarity kernel is presented in this paper for SVM learning, especially for learning with imbalanced datasets. Kernels in SVM are usually pairwise, comparing the sim...
Kernel learning plays an important role in many machine learning tasks. However, algorithms for learning a kernel matrix often scale poorly, with running times that are cubic in t...
This paper examines the problem of learning with a finite and possibly large set of p base kernels. It presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of an approach addressing thi...
