The computational complexity of kernel methods has often been a major barrier for applying them to large-scale learning problems. We argue that this barrier can be effectively overcome. In particular, we develop methods to scale up kernel…

The kernel-based multi-scale method has been proven to be a powerful approximation method for scattered data approximation problems which is computationally superior to conventional kernel-based interpolation techniques. The multi-scale…
