Combining Kernel Information for Support Vector Classification

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3077))

Abstract

In this paper we describe new methods to built a kernel matrix from a collection of kernels for classification purposes using Support Vector Machines (SVMs). The methods build the combination by quantifying, relative to the classification labels, the difference of information among the kernels. The proposed techniques have been successfully evaluated on a variety of artificial and real data sets.
