Learning Kernels

Description

Kernel-based algorithms have been used with great success in a variety of machine learning applications. But, the choice of the kernel, which is crucial to the success of these algorithms, has been traditionally entirely left to the user. Rather than requesting the user to select a specific kernel, learning kernel algorithms require the user only to specify a family of kernels. This family of kernels can be used by a learning algorithm to form a combined kernel and derive an accurate predictor.
