Kernel Function--核函数收集.docx

Kernel Function--核函数收集?Kernel FunctionsBelow is a list of some kernel functions available from the existing literature. As was the case with previous articles, every?LaTeX notation?for the formulas below are readily available from?their?alternate text html tag. I can not guarantee all of them are perfectly correct, thus use them at your own risk. Most of them have links to articles where they have been originally used or proposed.1. Linear KernelThe Linear kernel is the simplest kernel function. It is given by the inner product x,y plus an optional constant c. Kernel algorithms using a linear kernel are often equivalent to their non-kernel counterparts, i.e.?KPCAwith linear kernel is the same as?standard PCA.2. Polynomial KernelThe Polynomial kernel is a non-stationary kernel. Polynomial kernels are well suited for problems where all the training data is normalized.Adjustable parameters are the slope alpha, the constant term c and the polynomial degree d.3. Gaussian KernelThe Gaussian kernel is an example of radial basis function kernel.Alternatively, it could also be implemented usingThe adjustable parameter sigma plays a major role in the performance of the kernel, and should be carefully tuned to the problem at hand. If overestimated, the exponential will behave almost linearly and the higher-dimensional projection will start to lose its non-linear power. In the other hand, if underestimated, the function will lack regularization and the decision boundary will be highly sensitive to noise in training data.4. Exponential KernelThe exponential kernel is closely related to the Gaussian kernel, with only the square of the norm left out. It is also a radial basis function kernel.5. Laplacian KernelThe Laplace Kernel is completely equivalent to the exponential kernel, except for being less sensitive for changes in the sigma parameter. Being equivalent, it is also a radial basis function kernel.It is important to note that the observations made about the sigma parameter
