Kernel functions as similarity measures for sequential data have been extensively studied in previous research. This contribution addresses the efficient computation of distance fu...
Abstract. Clustering algorithms based on a matrix of pairwise similarities (kernel matrix) for the data are widely known and used, a particularly popular class being spectral clust...
Distance-based methods in machine learning and pattern recognition have to rely on a metric distance between points in the input space. Instead of specifying a metric a priori, we...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have been very successful in text classification. However, the intrinsic geometric structure of text data has been ignored by standard kernels commo...
We investigate how to learn a kernel matrix for high dimensional data that lies on or near a low dimensional manifold. Noting that the kernel matrix implicitly maps the data into ...
