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...
In supervised kernel methods, it has been observed that the performance of the SVM classifier is poor in cases where the diagonal entries of the Gram matrix are large relative to ...
Radial basis function network (RBF) kernels are widely used for support vector machines (SVMs). But for model selection of an SVM, we need to optimize the kernel parameter and the ...
This work presents a kernel method for clustering the nodes of a weighted, undirected, graph. The algorithm is based on a two-step procedure. First, the sigmoid commute-time kernel...
Choosing an appropriate kernel is one of the key problems in kernel-based methods. Most existing kernel selection methods require that the class labels of the training examples ar...
