Nowadays, hyperspectral image classification widely copes with spatial information to improve accuracy. One of the most popular way to integrate such information is to extract hierarchical features from a multiscale segmentation. In the…
Define a module representation to be a linear parameterisation of a collection of module homomorphisms over a ring. Generalising work of Knuth, we define duality functors indexed by the elements of the symmetric group of degree three…
In this paper, we define and study a nested family of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of vector fields that is indexed by a range of scales, from which we construct a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of scale-dependent vector fields. We…
We compute explicitly the Bergman kernels of all two dimensional monomial polyhedra, a class of domains including the Hartogs triangle and some of its generalizations. The kernel is computed from the representation of such domains as…
The moduli space of triangles is a two-dimensional space that records triangle shapes in the plane, considered up to similarity. We study the subset corresponding to \textit{lattice triangles}, which are triangles whose vertices have…
We give two new global and algorithmic constructions of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated to a positive definite kernel. We further present ageneral positive definite kernel setting using bilinear forms, and we provide new…
We propose graph kernels based on subgraph matchings, i.e. structure-preserving bijections between subgraphs. While recently proposed kernels based on common subgraphs (Wale et al., 2008; Shervashidze et al., 2009) in general can not be…
In the high-energy quantum-physics literature one finds statements such as "matrix algebras converge to the sphere". Earlier I provided a general precise setting for understanding such statements, in which the matrix algebras are viewed as…
Point clouds are sets of points in two or three dimensions. Most kernel methods for learning on sets of points have not yet dealt with the specific geometrical invariances and practical constraints associated with point clouds in computer…
Let A be a k-vector space of dimension a. A subvector space M of End(A) is said to be of rank r if every non-zero f in M has rank r. The problem considered in this paper is to determine l(r;a) the maximal dimension of a rank r subspace of…
We consider smoothed versions of geometric range spaces, so an element of the ground set (e.g. a point) can be contained in a range with a non-binary value in $[0,1]$. Similar notions have been considered for kernels; we extend them to more…
We present a geometric formulation of the Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) problem. To do so, we reinterpret the problem of learning kernel weights as searching for a kernel that maximizes the minimum (kernel) distance between two convex…
In these paper we study the adjacency matrix of some infinite graphs, which we call the shift operator on the $L^p$ space of the graph. In particular, we establish norm estimates, we find the norm for some cases, we decide the triviality of…
We explore the symmetry of the mean k x k weight kernel in each layer of various convolutional neural networks. Unlike individual neurons, the mean kernels in internal layers tend to be symmetric about their centers instead of favoring…
Kernel methods are an incredibly popular technique for extending linear models to non-linear problems via a mapping to an implicit, high-dimensional feature space. While kernel methods are computationally cheaper than an explicit feature…
We present a simple yet general and efficient approach to representation of computational meshes. Meshes are represented as sets of mesh entities of different topological dimensions and their incidence relations. We discuss a…
Kernel functions are frequently encountered in differential equations and machine learning applications. In this work, we study the rank of matrices arising out of the kernel function $K: X \times Y \mapsto \mathbb{R}$, where the sets $X, Y…
Positive definite kernels and their associated Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces provide a mathematically compelling and practically competitive framework for learning from data. In this paper we take the approximation theory point of view…
Kernel techniques are among the most popular and flexible approaches in data science allowing to represent probability measures without loss of information under mild conditions. The resulting mapping called mean embedding gives rise to a…
Kernels are often developed and used as implicit mapping functions that show impressive predictive power due to their high-dimensional feature space representations. In this study, we gradually construct a series of simple feature maps that…
