Composite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric
Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...
متن کاملEnhancement of fuzzy clustering by mechanisms of partial supervision
Semi-supervised (or partial) fuzzy clustering plays an important and unique role in discovering hidden structure in data realized in presence of a certain quite limited fraction of labeled patterns. The objective of this study is to investigate and quantify the effect of various distance functions (distances) on the performance of the clustering mechanisms. The underlying goal of endowing the c...
متن کاملFuzzy Set Similarity using a Distance-Based Kernel on Fuzzy Sets
Similarity measures computed by kernels are well studied and a vast literature is available. In this work, we use distance-based kernels to define a new similarity measure for fuzzy sets. In this sense, a distance-based kernel on fuzzy sets implements a similarity measure for fuzzy sets with a geometric interpretation in functional spaces. When the kernel is positive definite, the similarity me...
متن کاملBayesian Learning of Kernel Embeddings
Kernel methods are one of the mainstays of machine learning, but the problem of kernel learning remains challenging, with only a few heuristics and very little theory. This is of particular importance in methods based on estimation of kernel mean embeddings of probability measures. For characteristic kernels, which include most commonly used ones, the kernel mean embedding uniquely determines i...
متن کاملGaussian kernel based fuzzy rough sets: Model, uncertainty measures and applications
Kernel methods and rough sets are two general pursuits in the domain of machine learning and intelligent systems. Kernel methods map data into a higher dimensional feature space, where the resulting structure of the classification task is linearly separable; while rough sets granulate the universe with the use of relations and employ the induced knowledge granules to approximate arbitrary conce...
