The performance is mostly affected by which kernel is used. A promising way is to learn the kernel from the data automatically. A general regularized risk functional （RRF） criterion for kernel matrix learning is proposed. Compared with the RRF criterion, general RRF criterion takes into account the geometric distributions of the embedding data points. It is proven that the distance between different geometric distdbutions can be estimated by their centroid distance in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Using this criterion for kernel matrix learning leads to a convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming （QCQP） problem. For several commonly used loss functions, their mathematical formulations are given. Experiment results on a collection of benchmark data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

In this paper, a novel method to construct the 2<sup>n</sup>-dimensional kernel matrix is proposed, that is based on primitive BCH codes that make use of the interception, the direct sum and adding a row and a column. For ensuring polarization of the kernel matrix, a solution is also put forward when the partial distances of the constructed kernel matrix exceed their upper bound. And the lower bound of exponent of the 2<sup>n</sup>-dimensional kernel matrix is obtained. The lower bound of exponent of our constructed kernel matrix is tighter than Gilbert-Varshamov (G-V) type, and the scaling exponent is better in the case of 16-dimensional.展开更多

We consider uncertainties that arise from two sources： （i） data measurement uncertainty, which stems from the statistical errors of input samples; （ii） kernel combination uncertainty, which stems from the weight of individual kernel that needs to be optimized in multiple kernel learning （MKL） problem. Much work has been studied, such as uncertainty sets that allow the corresponding SVMs to be reformulated as semi-definite programs （SDPs）, which is very computationally expensive however. Our focus in this paper is to identify uncertainty sets that allow the corresponding SVMs to be reformulated as second-order cone programs （SOCPs）, since both the worst case complexity and practical computational effort required to solve SOCPs is at least an order of magnitude less than that needed to solve SDPs of comparable size. In the main part of the paper we propose four uncertainty sets that meet this criterion. Experimental results are presented to confirm the validity of these SOCP reformulations.展开更多

Machine learning methods, especially kernel methods with Support Vector Machines （SVMs） are very popular and effective tools. In the perspective of kernel matrix, a technique namely Eigen- matrix translation has been introduced for protein data classification. The Eigen-matrix translation strategy has a lot of nice properties which deserve more exploration. This paper investigates the major role of Eigen-matrix translation in classification. The authors propose that its importance lies in the dimension reduction of predictor attributes within the data set. This is very important when the dimension of features is huge. The authors show by numerical experiments on real biological data sets that the proposed framework is crucial and effective in improving classification accuracy. This can therefore serve as a novel perspective for future research in dimension reduction problems.展开更多
